The design and esthetics of this thing are on point. However, I agree with other comments that the games don't really speak to me, and I've found myself more interested in the pictures of the actual devices than any of the games. Regardless I hope this succeeds. Electronics need more original industrial design!

I feel the opposite -this speaks to me more than any other device I’ve seen, but I was obsessed with calculator games in high school, spending many hours on ticalc.org and IRC.
Me too, this speaks to me so much. The games all look wholesome, in line with the device itself. Judging by what I've seen, the processing power inside will be quite good and would not require optimisations unlike "retro" hardware, which would mean lots of third-party games made with relative ease.

This would be a good device to spend some time with away from social media and work.
