DIY Handheld Atari Game

DIY Handheld Atari Game

Whenever I leave the house, I generally take my DS along to keep me entertained. If I don’t remember to grab it, I at least have my trusty iPhone, which isn’t bad for gaming in short spurts. However, neither of them really satisfy my craving for classic Atari games (though my iPhone does have a couple). So what’s one to do when they want some classic gaming fun on the go? You build your own portable Atari game.

DIY Handheld Atari Game

Someone has fashioned a portable (albeit chunky) game by taking one of those cheap Namco TV Games and installing it into a new plastic shell with a 2.5” LCD screen. It looks like it took a bit of work, but in the end you can enjoy your favorite Atari games for around two and a half hours off of 4x AA batteries. You can even hook up a charger if you’re using rechargeable batteries. The only downside is the lack of sound support.
