Arduboy is both a device you can buy and an open specification(verification needed) for an Arduino-powered 8-bit gaming device. Think "open-source modern gameboy".

It comes in various configurations, with the most common being the Arduboy FX. This configuration gives you a credit-card-sized game system with the ability to store up to 16MiB of programs, called Sketches. Other configurations (such as the Original and older) didn't come with this extra storage and can only play one game at a time. See Determining Hardware(section needed) to figure out which device you have.
