To celebrate a decade of DesignSpark we are giving you the chance to win a Picade console in our #DecadePicadeGiveaway on Twitter between 9.15am on Sunday 5th July and 11.59pm on Sunday 12th July. We would like to thank you all for being part of our journey so far and look forward to the next ten years! 

Power-up your TV with a Picade Console! It's a compact, Raspberry Pi-powered retro games machine with authentic arcade controls that plugs right into your TV, monitor, or other HDMI display.

The Picade Console is fight stick-style arcade console that riffs off the larger Picade with the same retro feel, same joystick and buttons, dedicated power button, and driven by the same powerful combo of the Raspberry Pi and Picade X HAT USB-C. It's beautifully packaged, comes with stickers and a neon-infused A3 Picade Console poster, and full assembly instructions.

It comes in kit form and takes an hour or two to build. The enclosure is made from powder-coated MDF and acrylic, giving it an authentic arcade look and feel. All you'll need to add is a Raspberry PiUSB-C power supplyHDMI cable, and micro-SD card.

*TV not included! Using a CRT TV requires additional adaptors.
