Meet Analogue Pocket.
A multi-video-game-system portable handheld. A digital audio workstation with a built-in synthesizer and sequencer. A tribute to portable gaming. Out of the box, Pocket is compatible with the 2,780+ Game Boy, Game Boy Color & Game Boy Advance game cartridge library. Pocket works with cartridge adapters for other handheld systems, too. Like Game Gear. Neo Geo Pocket Color. Atari Lynx & more. Completely engineered in *two FPGAs.
No emulation.
Believing is seeing.
Pocket is designed around a first-in-class 3.5”, 615 ppi, LCD. With a 1600x1440 resolution, Pocket has 10x the resolution of an original Game Boy. Yeah. We can hardly believe it, either. Pro level color accuracy, dynamic range, and brightness. The display is even made from Gorilla® Glass. There has never been a display this advanced in a video game system.
Pocket does it all.
Game Gear. Neo Geo Pocket Color. Atari Lynx.
Pocket is the ultimate tribute to portable gaming. We designed cartridge adapters for Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, & Atari Lynx so you can explore portable gaming history with no compromises.
Analogue isn’t just for games anymore.
It’s for making music.
Pocket has a digital audio workstation built in called Nanoloop. It's a synthesizer and a sequencer. Designed for music creation and live performance. Shape, stretch and morph sounds. Capture music or play and sculpt live.
You can even connect Pocket to your Mac, PC or other hardware with MIDI & Sync cables.

Make your own
games for Pocket.
We partnered with GB Studio so you can bring your game ideas to reality with zero programming knowledge needed.
GB Studio is a quick and easy to use drag and drop retro game creator for your favorite handheld video game system. It allows you to generate proprietary .pocket files with GB Studio and run them off your SD card.
Now you can help preserve video game history, too.
Pocket is designed for FPGA development. We added a second dedicated FPGA just for developers to develop & port their own cores. With access to Analogue's proprietary hardware and scalers - we think developers are going to do some amazing things.
