Not long ago I played Last Call BBS, a puzzle anthology that included a minigame about assembling model robot kits—using tools to snip them off the plastic sprues, then connecting, painting, and even stickering them. I get a sense of the same pleasant tactility watching the release trailer for Retro Gadgets, an upcoming game that will let you build your own videogame handheld, calculator, digital pet, or chiptune starter kit.

"Lose yourself as you build, solder, code, customise, and play with electrifying gadgets at your relaxing workbench", says the Steam page description. "Build video game consoles, weather machines, lightboards, radios, drum machines... any gadget you can think of. What will you come up with next?"

If you can't think of what you'd like to build, Retro Gadgets will let you find projects other makers have shared via the Steam Workshop "Check out gadgets made by people all over the world", it says. "Download any gadget, play with it, take it apart, see how it works, build your own version."
