Retro Gadgets — Craft, code, and share your own real-working relics

Step into a cozy pixel-art workshop and power up a world of hands-on invention. Night falls, the bench hums, and your latest retro gadget comes to life with a start-up sound, fluttering gauges, and a glowing screen. You’re ready to give it a name and take the next leap from idea to tangible device.

What you can build: video game consoles, weather machines, lightboards, radios, drum machines, cameras, and more. If you can imagine it, you can assemble it on the bench.

Power to invent: solder circuit boards, add buttons, switches, speakers, and lights. Connect CPUs, audio and video chips. Press the on button and watch your gadget spring to life. You control the vision, you shape the machine.

A World of Gadgeteers: explore gadgets created by players around the world. Download a design, study how it works, take it apart, and then build your own version. The library grows with every creator.

Cosy Workbench: everything feels tactile and satisfying—open drawers, solder and paint, print and place stickers with tweezers, connect parts with magnets, twist knobs, tap buttons, flick switches. It’s a calm, focused workflow like no other.

Unbeatable Components: an ever-growing catalog of buttons, switches, dials, gauges, LEDs, LCDs, chips, joysticks, speakers, and more. assemble lean, flashy machines with ease.

Striking Styles: personalize your gadgets. Route boards into new shapes, spray colours, design stencils, print and apply stickers, and even upload a logo for a professional finish.

Be a Software Superstar: once your hardware is built, code with a Lua environment or upload directly to the CPU. Create games, weather stations, drum machines, cameras, video players, radios, and beyond—the possibilities are endless.

Gadget Archive: store your creations in the archive, pull out an old gadget to refine, or start a new project whenever inspiration strikes. Build as many as you want!

Untether Your Gadget: when you’re ready, send your creation to your computer desktop and continue tinkering outside the game world.

Play and test: once built, power up and see a tangible prototype respond to touch, sound, and light. Fiddle with knobs, tweak a circuit, and watch the LEDs flutter as you debug in real time.

Creative freedom: name your device, share designs with the world, rename versions, and iterate. The game encourages experimentation, so there’s no wrong path—only the next gadget awaiting your touch.

Retro Gadgets invites you to craft, test, and share your very own retro tech masterpieces. Are you ready to ship your first device?
