PocketSprite: Miniature size, maximum games fun

Tech Tools: A games emulator so small it fits on your key ring

This games console is tiny, but you can play Nintendo Game Boy and Sega Game Gear and Master System games on its miniature screen and pad. PocketSprite claims to be the smallest playable emulation device currently available, and I’m inclined to take its at its word.

The $55 device, which fits on your key ring, is also an open-source development platform, so if you’re handy with code you can do almost anything you like with it. It has wifi and Bluetooth, plus a rechargeable battery, and updates with a single click.
