But, when you mix nostalgia, an Arduino and a low price point, you get the credit-card sized Arduboy (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/903888394/arduboy-card-sized-gaming). The 8-bit gaming rig fits in your pocket, sports a black-and-white 1.3-inch OLED screen, two piezo speakers, and an eight-hour battery life. Created by Kevin Bates, his first version that he posted on YouTube (http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/05/arduino-business-card-tetris/)garnered enough interest that Bates quit his job and started working on Arduboy full time and now you can preorder one of these full little devices.
