The GameShell from ClockworkPi.

GameShell DIY handheld is a great way to play retro games

Updated on February 6: I have updated this review after receiving a working GameShell from ClockworkPi. My original device had a broken component, and it caused all of my original issues. I have added new text and struckout old text that is no longer relevant. 

Ever since the Nintendo Switch came into my life, I’ve played a lot more games. You would think I was already playing them all the time due to my job. And sure, I played a lot. But I spend most days writing about them. And in the evening, I dislike hiding away on my PC in the office or taking over the television to make everyone watch me get frustrated with a race in Forza. The Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild made me realize that I am happy with handheld gaming. And now, all I can think about is getting more handheld devices to have access to games beyond the Nintendo eShop.
