Most of us adults experienced the odd sensation of our gaming handheld shrinking as we grew up.
Rather thanboosting the size of handhelds for adult-sizedclaws, one company is going in the opposite direction.
The people who first brought us thepostage stamp-sized handheld called Thumbyare back with a sequel, theThumby Color.
The Thumby Color is a sequel to the original, ultra-tiny thumby. This time, you may actually be able to hold it.Image: TinyCircuits
Just know youll need keen eyes and fingers not likely to cramp to fully enjoy it.
Hell, it even has a rumble motor.
Theres a lot packed into the mere 2- by 1.1-inch frame.

Any smaller, and were reaching Game Boy for ants territory.
Note, that only 13 MB of that internal storage is available for loading your games.
TinyCircuits promises youll get two hours of game time from its 110 mAh rechargeable battery.
Though, at least in this case, the Thumby Color has a backlit display.
The company said any games made for the original Thumby should work on the new version.
Users who want to code or add games to their library need to go through a program calledThonny.
It also has some truly classic color choices, though some will cost more than others.
The Kickstarter-exclusive black goes for $75.
TinyCircuits said it expects to start production this fall and ship in spring early next year.
