Build a pocket game console with your own hands

Very interesting DIY products (Do It Yourself - “do it yourself”, English) are increasingly appearing on the Internet. Such things are interesting, first of all, for lovers of days to sort through with the instructions, poking around in a pile of different parts and tightening different bolts and screws. This time the holiday has come in the camp of lovers of game consoles.

Technology Will Save Us has developed a very simple and rather curious DIY Gamer Kit that will allow anyone who wants to build a full-fledged handheld (handheld game console) with his own hands. Let it be a very primitive toy, the screen of which is capable of displaying a picture of only 8 by 8 giant pixels, but how much fun you can get from the process of assembling and customizing this device!

The process of using the DIY Gamer Kit consists of four steps:
1) Assembling the console from the parts included in the kit.
2) Play already built-in video games.
3) Reprogramming built-in games to fit your needs using a special Arduino application.
4) Develop your own video games.

Considering that the cost of pre-order of this “designer” is only $ 80, it can appeal to many game enthusiasts, novice programmers, and just fans of game consoles. In addition, this is a great gift for your child, who with the help of this set will be able to independently learn how to develop simple video games like Snake and Tetris.

Earlier, Technology Will Save Us had already produced similar DIY kits that allowed customers to assemble their own musical instruments or, for example, speakers to output music from various devices.
