Retro #gaming is a massively popular Raspberry Pi application, and while loading your favourite old #videogames onto an SD card is pretty straightforward, building the physical shell of a gaming system can be daunting for those of us without 3D printers or design skills of any kind.

PiBoy Mini bridges that gap by providing partially-assembled devices to their customers. The rest is BYORP: bring your own #RaspberryPi.

I really love that PiBoy XRS in particular, but OMG the prices on these things... Well, sadly as much as I truly want one of these it has to be filed away in the "maybe someday" list.

Ordered— a perfect project for kids (under 10) to get a sense of how handheld systems work in general, instead of just the “magic” of the corporation-made controller. Also getting them hooked on classic games and learning how to load their own.
