The Hydra Games Console Kit is perfect for all you do it yerselfers out there who can’t stand paying extra coin for flash packaging and TV adverts. OK, so you’ll need to be a programmer, it’s 8 bit only and costs about the same as a full-on supercomputer-cool black bodied major name console. But hey, think of the kudos as you invite your chums around to play 3 colour break-out with a beeps and chirps soundtrack. Wow! £199.99.

 Now you can relive those memories by creating your own classic 8-Bit style games with the Hydra Console Game Development Kit. For beginner to intermediate coders, you need only a minimum of programming experience in any BASIC or C-like language. You get all of the hardware and software you need including the Hydra console, comprehensive programming guide, keyboard, mouse, gamepad and your own cartridge to store your games on.
