microcade: Build-your-own Arcade Machine

A palm-sized build-your-own game console kit fully made from PCB I started for fun but now aim to make as a fun introduction to electronics.

Some features:

• Comes with all the tools needed to build and solder the cabinet
• Console made completely out of PCB!
• Includes a 30-pin soldering practice board.
• Includes online build instructions (working on written instructions)
• Has over 30+ games pre-installed (memory chip) - these are in collaboration with Press Play On Tape. The console is compatible with all arduboy games.
• Includes a battery management board for safe charging.

The first console features the road trip game!

Currently working to sell the console in kit form. You can sign up to be the first notified at playmicrocade.com - expected to release start of feb!
