Epoch Game Pocket Computer is a gaming handheld launched in 1984. Powered by NEC uPD78C06 (1-core, 6 MHz), 2 KB RAM. Features a 2.6" LCD display (75 x 64).
The 2.6-inch LCD screen has a resolution of 75 x 64 pixels. The image is rudimentary and individual pixel blocks are clearly visible, yet that is exactly what defines the device's retro charm and offers an authentic look at how portable games appeared in the mid-1980s.
For controls, the console offers 2 face buttons, a simple layout well suited to the titles of its time. The body measures 152 x 88 x 28 mm and weighs 250 g, so it sits comfortably in the hands and slips easily into a backpack or bag.
Battery life is one of its strong points: two AA batteries deliver up to 40 hours of play, and swapping them is quick and easy. Audio comes from a piezo speaker, producing the simple, sharp sound effects typical of the era.
Games load from cartridges, so the library grows through dedicated titles rather than emulation. This is not a device for running ROMs from other systems, but original hardware valued for its historical significance and the authentic experience it delivers.
Ideal for: retro hardware collectors, video game history enthusiasts and anyone curious to discover what portable gaming looked like in 1984, with generous battery life and a compact format.
