From the chunky monochrome Game Boy to the sleek-yet-pocketable Sony PSP, gaming on a handheld is a gloriously tactile and immediate experience, and a group of developers is aiming to recapture the same core spirit with a system which is as customisable as it is adorable. > The Clockwork GameShell arrived on Kickstarter late last year and promised a Game Boy-sized device with a modular construction and open-source operating system. Unlike a great many crowdfunding campaigns, it's actually gotten as far as becoming solid reality and the first units are now reaching than hands of backers. We've been lucky enough to have a fiddle with one of these early units, and have come away very impressed indeed.
