Handheld gaming consoles, the cheap kind they advertise on click-bait. They're just wee computers, and there's some good custom software you can slap on them to make your own lil PSP or DS emulator.

And since they're quite inexpensive you can dick around with the electronic side without losing much. Some are as low as $30. Definitely recommended!

SBC handhelds are so addictive. Even though they all do the same thing give or take, it’s still so fun to collect them, tinker with them, etc.
