The handheld gaming market is seriously starting to pop, but what are the best retro handhelds? This is a question we get asked a lot, so here's a list!

Do you have one of these? Do you use it? I want one but I’m afraid it’s going to end up another plastic brick in a drawer.

    I got the powkiddy X55. I only use it for ports. I really feel like the true power of these devices is in ports and native linux ARM games.

        Ok we can categorise them:

        • floss engines like raptor, am2r, quake, rvgl, sonic mania, devilution etc.
        • mono / fna games like Stardew, Celeste, tmnt, etc
        • freeware games like tyrian etc. There’s a game jam version of dome keeper as well.

        Just look at portmaster for some inspiration.
