A first look at the Pimoroni PicoSystem

I’ve always liked Pimoroni stuff. I’ve just bought another one of their products; a tiny handheld gaming machine powered by the Raspberry Pi PICO. It’s called the PicoSystem and it arrived earlier this week.

It’s a tiny handheld device that looks very like a Gameboy Micro (if you can remember them). The tiny screen is bright and clear and the controls have a very nice feel. The packaging looks great and the device itself is a treat to hold. It’s made of machined aluminium and has a really classy feel. It is shipped with a cute little built-in game, but the fun really starts when you start creating your own games. I’m hoping to get doing this soon.
