    And no, it's not a huge software package that spits out "game like" executables :p

    It's a kickstarter, apart from backing it, I'm not affiliated with it.
    The creator has a background and reputation and it looks legit to me, but Do Your Own Research!

    This isn't just a handheld console, it's about learning and community, in fact it reminds me of Sony's Net Yaroze (hobbyist programmable playstation)!
    And like the Net Yaroze, it was overpriced, but those that had one and did something with it would say it was worth every cent :D

    Retro gamedev programming is targeting limited hardware and is the purest, most challenging form of programming and game design there is! (IMO anyway).

    If you can make a game for this thing, you can develop on anything, and it's a great start to programming (lau/C++)!

    I just wanted to give this project a plug :D
    Cheers
    Mike.
