## Summary

A maker built a fully functional pocket computer inside an Altoids tin using an ESP32 microcontroller, complete with a handmade keyboard and small screen. The device runs DOOM via a PrBoom port, NES and Game Boy emulators, streams internet radio over WiFi, and even supports AI voice chat via the xAI Grok API. The project was shared on the ESP32 subreddit by user SuperRadMaker, who also has demo videos on YouTube.
