There was a time when you had to travel to your nearest arcade or beg your parents for a Game Boy if you wanted to play Tetris.
Gaspar’s creation looks endearingly wonky, but manages to play Tetris (not to mention Snake) as well as any premium device.
Cardboard enclosures are an increasingly popular trend among DIY hobbyists, especially for projects that are essentially works-in-progress or casual tinkering endeavors.
In this case, Gaspar swears he did not opt for a popular soda brand box for his choice of casing.
“You think you got me, but the answer is very simple: That’s just how many calories are in the box.”
