Nice Arduino based game console.

This is a nice little gadget. I'm still a noob to this kind of stuff but been interested in these kinds of thing since I go my raspberry pi. This arduboy is not easy to set up but not super hard to figure out just don't expect a plug and play situation. It comes with one game pre installed and you can only have one game installed on it at a time that limitation sucks but I guess that's ok. To get more games you have to download the Arduino software on your computer and find the games on the Arduboy community site that people create. You can also create your own games by writing some code, great way to start learning how to make simple games. Also this thing is so small I can put it in my wallet as if it where a credit card lol overall I love this little gadget.

Gaming in the palm of your hand.. Arduboy
by Brent Price (5 out of 5 stars)
May 2, 2018

Arduboy is a small handheld gaming device where all the games available are free and easy to install.. though to be honest the Arduboy only can have one game installed at a time! Changing games is as simple as plugging the Arduboy into your computer with a Micro USB cable and clicking on the game you wish installed.. there are a bunch of good games sometimes named differently than an original game I'm supposing to avoid legal action. The Arduboy is about the same size as a credit card but built very well. I thought I'd break it but boy was I wrong! The screen is small and black and white but doesn't take away from the fun. I have a much nicer system than Arduboy but find at night it's easier to play it and not disturb my wife.. happy wife.. happy life! Pictured here is my Arduboy with probably my favorite Game Hollow Seeker.. a great game that saves your score even if you change games so when you come back to it your high scores are not erased and I find challenging enough to always try to beat whoever may have beaten my score! Do I recommend the Arduboy? Yes but not everyone will be a fan but those who can appreciate a system for what it is.. I believe they'll enjoy the system just as much as I..

Fun tiny device to play games and learn
by Cameron Mulder (5 out of 5 stars)

A Very cool tiny device that can do so much with so little.

The build quality is excellent; the screen looks amazing and way better than I could ever imagine a 1-bit screen being. Was very easy to get set up and start playing games on it as soon as I got it. I think this is a great device for anyone who likes retro games or is into programming/electronics. I think it would also be a great gift for any kid that is interested in video game development.

I like this so much that I would recommend anyone who has any interest in this device or thinks they have a friend or family member that would pick it up. It is very inexpensive and just such a neat little device that I think a lot of people would love to have it in their lives.

Very nice build quality
by Dude (5 out of 5 stars)

Very nice build quality, and the small form factor does not cramp my hands like I thought it would. The community forums on the official website have easy to follow guides for getting started with loading new games and making your own.

From a developer's perspective, this is a great way to learn about Arduino and practice writing efficient software that gets every last drop of those 16MHz :-)

it's a cool, solid
by L. Orozco (5 out of 5 stars)

It's not for everybody. You have to know quite a bit about computers, be a bit familiar with the arduino, and willing to tinker. All in all, it's a cool, solid, well built little device to pass the time.

Great for hobbyists
by NapSTAR (4 out of 5 stars)

Great little hobbyist system! It would be nice if it came with any sort of software to more easily transfer games in and out of the system... also bummer it has only capacity for one game at a time.

Fun and teaches how to program
by Bryson Spaulding (5 out of 5 stars)

This thing is freaking cool. Love it's little beeps and the tiny screen is cool. Love how portable it is and making my own games is the main reason why I got it. I'm learning how to program and this is actually teaching me a lot about c++. Love it. This is a great tool for learning along with a fun thing to take on car rides. The memory isn't very large tho so you can't make too big of games. Huge amount of games online you can install. Note: you can only have one program installed at a time.

Great Programming Tool; Great Quality
by Ginny Doub (5 out of 5 stars)
May 17, 2018

Great to learn programming. I love the size and the sturdiness is impressive. I love the fact it uses C++ as the programming language. The games from Team ARG are really good and the tutorials are well-written. But if you flash Arduventure onto it, I recommend you to use a paper clip to put a new game on it, as the upload section is difficult to get right. Overall it is a great device.

Fun to play with and also develop games for. Interfaces with windows a bit more easily than with mac, though.
