The PowKiddy Q80 is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2019 and built on an SoC architecture. It is aimed at players who want to revisit classic 8-bit and 16-bit titles in a compact format.

The platform list covers the Nintendo Entertainment System, Family Computer Disk System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, as well as the Sega Master System, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Game Gear and SG-1000. Arcade games are handled through MAME, Final Burn Neo, Capcom Play System 1 and 2 and Neo Geo, while TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine and its CD variants round out the offering.

The library also reaches rarer systems such as ColecoVision, Intellivision, Neo Geo Pocket and Neo Geo Pocket Color, Pokémon Mini, Game & Watch, ZX Spectrum, Sinclair ZX81 and CHIP-8, plus adventure games via ScummVM.
