$49 gaming console for PICO-8 games

A quick clarification! This is actually 2 products in one:

  • PocketCHIP, the $9 CHIP computer (a raspberry pi competitor) with an accessory that adds a keyboard, screen, and battery. The CHIP operating system and hardware design are all open source.
  • Pico-8, an 8-bit “fantasy console” designed by Lexaloffle. It normally costs $15, but comes preinstalled on the CHIP when you buy a PocketCHIP bundle. Pico-8 is closed source, but games export as HTML5, and are freely editable by anyone with Pico-8.
