Micro Video Players with Classic Arcade Animations
NOTE that these are only animated simulations of the classic arcade games – they are not actually playable, and the videos do not include sound.
These screens require a power supply (not included). If you are comfortable soldering, you can connect them directly to any 5V DC power source. Or you can use our USB power cable and any standard iPhone or iPad-type charger to power them.
We've taken recreations of many of our favorite classic arcade games (see below for the full list) and loaded them onto two sizes of our BrickScreens mini video screens. Everything is self-contained in the OLED/LCD module except for the power connector and a small button you use to select the video game you'd like to have play on the screen. Use the button to select a specific game, or select "random" to cycle through all of the games.
For each game, there are two separate animations: one animation that represents the "power-up" sequence of the original game, and one animation that represents the "gameplay" sequence of the game. The "power-up" sequence plays once at the start of each game, and the "gameplay" sequence then will loop. The effect is amazing-- although some detail is lost on these tiny screens, the overall effect is mesmerizing. We think it will transport you back to the 1980s!
The 0.96-inch OLED screen is loaded with a selection of 16 animations that originally played on tall, thin monitors, while the 1.44-inch LCD screen is loaded with a selection of 18 animations that originally played on square-shaped monitors.
Here's a demo of the 0.96-inch screen:

Like all of our BrickScreen products, these screens operate on 5V DC. The kit includes an expansion board that can connect directly to our USB power cable (sold separately), as well as a DIY power cable, if you'd prefer to use your own custom 5V DC power source. The display consumes approximately 130mA of current during operation.
