seeed studio MicroCard Game System (Arduboy)

I've actually been sitting on a few Arduino based kits for some time, but only now have I started to program with the Arduino IDE since getting the Arduboy.Even with some technical background I've always had a fear of programming for some reason. With this device I've started to follow my own curiosity in terms of programming.I was about to get the Odroid GO, with a color screen, more buttons, inputs and outputs, memory card slot, wireless communications, and game system emulation, until I actually saw the Arduboy website.Because if I wanted to PLAY games I already have many capable portables, but to get started learning to MAKE games I wanted something easy enough to learn. The community open source games and tutorials on the Arduboy website sold me.I started with the game loader to play games at first. Then only after running into the loading problem that some games have did I have to use the Arduino IDE. After one night of frustration I figured out that I just needed to reinstall the Arduino IDE.Then I just started following the tutorials and my own curiosity.This listing from Seeed Studio ships from China! So the shipping might be more, and it came in a paper box, not the plastic 'food bag' shown in the picture. After ordering I noticed the other Amazon listing shipping from Robotshop, probably from the US.I've only gotten started. I haven't even reached graphics programming, but if I can learn to do that with 1-bit graphics then I can learn to program games on anything. This is a great place to start.

I bought this one for developing some apps for my own project. I like this BUT honestly, the price is little bit expensive

Awesome little handheld, does play emulators but has a pretty good selection of indie games

Authnetic. Works perfect.

Very cool little system
