EF ELECFREAKS Plug & Play Video Games Editorial Review

The Elecfreaks Retro Coding Arcade is a great tool for exploring coding and tinkering with electronics, suitable for use in classrooms, at home, and for STEM education. It has a solid build and is similar in size to the vintage GameBoy, with a good battery life for playing retro 2-D games. One can build or remix games using Microsoft MakeCode and download them onto the device via USB. It is easy to operate, though it can only download one game at a time. The resolution is not as advertised, registering at 160x120 rather than 320x240, and the instruction manual has no English translation. Overall, it is a worthwhile alternative to similar devices with smaller screens.
