Great gift! Easy to use
I bought this for fun because my students were using make code arcade and I was curious. This was very easy for all of my students to figure out. They had a great time with it. Iโm hoping to buy a whole set for my classroom.

See Your Code in Action!!!
I teach young people to explore coding and tinkering with electronics. This past summer I began looking for a way to get projects into their hands to actually play and share with friends. The Elecfreaks Retro Arcade for Education (or at home) is perfect. The device feels solid and it also feels like the vintage GameBoy. You start off by building or remixing game code (low cade, Python, or Javascript) on Microsoft MakeCode. Then follow the easy to follow instructions to connect your computing device to the Retro. It will then download your chosen game and you can play it on the device. Battery life is good for playing these small 2-D low res (read RETRO old school) games. It really is alot of fun.

Affordable way to code and play
This is the best. Making your own video games on the computer then downloading them to a game device to play. The best way to learn how to code in a fun way. Elecfreaks has great products.

Neat Gadget, one issue for me
This is a nifty gadget, my only issue is it only lets you put one game on it at a time. It's not hard to figure out how to put games on it or use, so that is a plus.

Works well for arcade makecode
Son loves it, he has been playing it for more than 1 month now. Notes: If he still likes it after the 2nd month, I will buy another one since there are some makecode arcade codes that require 2 consoles, and he has been asking me to get another 1.

Very disappointed in Retro Coding Arcade
Very disappointed. Wrote half of a multiplication game for my coding students. It ran flawlessly on the MakeCode Arcade online simulator, but would not run on the Retro Coding Arcade device. The program I wrote was not that long or complicated. Very simple programs I tried did run OK. Fortunately, my program ran fine on an Android phone. Save your money. Use your phone. (Probably OK for young children with very limited coding experience.)

Quite Useful
Pretty interesting device with relatively long battery life, though there are many limitations on coding because of the MakeCode platform. Spend an hour to make a simple timer program, itโs pretty straightforward.

I have had this less than a month and it wont hold a charge in the battery. Not happy.
