The Powkiddy V90 is an ultra budget clamshell styled after the Game Boy Advance SP. It folds shut to protect the screen, slips into any pocket, and costs about the price of a couple of new games. The hardware is humble and varies by revision, so think of it as a dedicated 8 bit and 16 bit machine for NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy. It is the kind of device you hand to a kid or keep in a bag as a backup. For cheap, foldable retro fun with zero fuss, the V90 is hard to beat.
