Pocket Arcade Machine with 12 Classic Games

The Pocket Arcade Machine is a fun and interactive STEM project that combines retro gaming, dual display graphics, programming and 3D printing into one compact handheld gaming console.

Using a Kypruino board, a 1.8" TFT color display and a 0.91" OLED display, the arcade features 12 playable games, including Tetris, Snake, 2048, Breakout and Space Shooter. The main display shows the gameplay, while the secondary OLED screen displays live scores, remaining lives and game information.

Designed for beginners and experienced makers alike, this project introduces game development, display integration and interactive electronics through a fun and practical STEM build.

Perfect for makers, students, classrooms, workshops and STEM education.
