If you’ve ever desired a thumb-sized Game Boy Advance, look no further than the Thumby Color by Tiny Circuits. Unlike typical handheld emulator devices, the Thumby Color is powered by a Raspberry Pi RP2350 processor and features 16MB of storage, limiting your ability to play beloved Game Boy classics. This limitation is partly due to its 0.85-inch square LCD screen (128 x 128), which is not ideal for such games.
However, the device comes pre-loaded with a variety of games, including a first-person shooter named Monstra. Leveraging MicroPython, individuals with knowledge of the language can create their own games for the Thumby Color. Pre-orders are available today at a price of $49 USD, with shipping set to commence in November 2024.
