Retro game consoles that are easy to program are a great way to introduce anyone—and especially kids—to video game development. One of these is Gamebuino, a preassembled, handheld retro game console. It’s kind of an Arduino on steroids, with a Nokia 5110 mobile phone display (84×48 pixels), LiPo charger and LiPo battery, an SD card reader, and an SD card with a bunch of games. MAKERbuino, which is basically a Gamebuino kit that you get to assemble and solder together, seemed more interesting to me.
