This time, I’d like to show you my old times arcade version
using Raspberry Pi Zero, based on Picade Desktop Retro Arcade Machini, as seen in this site:

The goal of this project is to build a retro vídeo game as a gift to my brother that was portable, easy to use, beautiful and very funny.

Supplies:
Raspberry Pi Zero W. It is highly recommended to use the Raspberry Pi Zero W, since this device connects to the Internet over Wi-Fi.
Joystick and buttons. It is not necessary the zero delay board, since in this project the joystick and buttons will be conected directly to the Raspberry Pi Zero W GPIO.
12V x 5A switched power supply.
5V x 3A homemade power supply (project included). This part is unecessary in case one prefer using a 5V x 5A switched power supply.
7 inches LCD monitor.
Laser cutted acrylic and MDF parts.
USB DAC PCM2704 board.
A pair of speakers.”
