  1. But build quality of plastic, buttons and screen is not that high like original gameboy :(
    Today no new phone or handheld is with 90th hard plastic quality :(

    1. I don’t know if you’ve actually held the analogue pocket but I have one and the plastic is incredible and the build quality is extremely high

  2. I like the concept of the Analogue Pocket Glow how it uses FPGA technology and allows developers to hardware emulate consoles. The layout of the d-pad and buttons isn’t exactly like the 90’s era og Gameboy, the plastic used is high quality photo luminescent and glows for roughly 8 hours.
