Pico-8 Handheld

Source: https://retrogamecorps.com/

Pico-8 just won't let us go. Once you've fallen in love with the fantasy console, you'll never put it away. We've already looked at alternatives in past issues, but so far we haven't talked about hardware for Pico-8. 

Now Russ from Retro Game Corps has done that for us. 

In his recent article Russ installs Pico-8 on the Raspberry PI based Anbernic RG351P handheld console. At a price of roundabout 85.00 Euros, this piece of hardware is definitely a worthwhile target for such an operation. Especially because - given the small extra charge for Pico-8 itself - you can put thousands of (retro) games in your pocket free of charge.

The build process itself is straightforward and perfectly documented. And even though this is not a product recommendation by us (and as always not sponsored), a look at the article and the accompanying video on Youtube is absolutely worth the time.

Maybe something for your Christmas wish list? 🎅
