Arduboy’s creator is developing a new low-cost color screen handheld.

The simplicity of the Arduboy is one of the platform’s biggest appeals, but its creator, Kevin Bates, is developing a color screen follow-up in an attempt to “push the boundaries of the lowest cost open-source game system.” To help fund its development he’s now selling an early version of the CHGame Rev0 for just $39.
