It is quite an interesting design. It must have lasted forever on 4 AAA batteries.

Nice brick! 
I think I have seen other attempts on handhelds on your portfolio page.
Your experience into that has sure gonne a long road,
current Gamebuino design sure is an advancement!

oh wow, seeing the PCB was interesting! Did you do that in Eagle, or something?

I hand-routed the PCB of the trough-hole Gamebuino by hand on Proteus, because some people told be it was the easiest PCB design software to get started with (I did my PCB after 30 min of video tutorial... it's very intuitive compared to Eagle). But since then I had to move on kiCAD... mainly because I can't afford a Proteus license

yeah, usually the good stuff is expensive! XD
I'll have to look at kiCAD, because the free version of Eagle is a bit obtuse at times. And I won't even go into 123d circuits...
