Go Gamer Tetris: licensed Tetris, in a 91 g handheld console

The Go Gamer Tetris from My Arcade comes with officially licensed Tetris and 300 bonus games, making 301 games, on a 2.5-inch colour screen. A 12.7 cm body weighing 91 g, front-facing speaker and headphone jack. It runs on 3 AAA batteries or a USB-C cable. Two packs: the console on its own, or the console with a travel case, power cable, screen protector and wrist strap.

What it does

• Licensed Tetris: the 1984 puzzle game, playable in full.
• 300 bonus games: added by the manufacturer, for 301 games in total.
• 2.5-inch colour screen: in a 7.6 × 2.2 × 12.7 cm body.
• Two power options: 3 AAA batteries or a USB-C cable.
• Speaker and headphone jack: adjustable volume, 3.5 mm headphone jack.

What it doesn't do

• No rechargeable battery: 3 AAA batteries (not included) or a USB-C cable.
• In the “Console only” pack, neither the USB-C cable, nor the batteries, nor the mini screwdriver for the battery cover is included.
• Only Tetris is licensed: the 300 bonus games are “retro-style” games whose list the manufacturer does not publish.
• No TV output is advertised.
• The game list is fixed: no cartridge, nothing to add.
