You don't need another gadget sitting in a drawer. You need to build one. This Maycar kit walks you through assembling a working retro handheld console from the circuit board up. The ATMEGA32U4 chip runs off an Arduino Leonardo, and the 1.3-inch OLED screen gives you actual gameplay on a device you soldered together yourself. Six white-and-blue button caps, an acrylic case, volume control – all in the box. Power it with the included USB cable or pop in two AAA batteries (not included) and take it to the kitchen table. The instruction booklet walks you through every step. By the time you've finished, you've got a working console and a whole lot more confidence with a soldering iron
