ClassicHandheld turns your iPhone into a custom handheld gaming platform inspired by the classic portable console experience.
Play original Crafted games made specifically for ClassicHandheld, customize your handheld, cast gameplay to a larger screen, or build your own library using supported game files you legally own.
Designed around a nostalgic handheld-style interface, ClassicHandheld keeps gaming simple, focused, and fun.
CRAFTED GAMES
ClassicHandheld includes original games that can be played immediately without importing any external game files.
• Dinojumpia — climb through an endless platform challenge, master jumping and dashing, and chase your highest score.
• Dino Fighters — choose your dinosaur and battle a series of opponents using movement, punches, and unique abilities.
• Dino Chezz — a handheld-style strategy game with chess-inspired gameplay and the distinctive ClassicHandheld dino universe.
Crafted is an expanding part of ClassicHandheld, and more original games are planned for future updates.
PLAY ON A BIGGER SCREEN
Use the built-in casting feature to display supported gameplay on a compatible external screen while your iPhone becomes a dedicated virtual handheld controller.

Choose between different handheld skins and personalize the look and feel of your gaming experience.
ClassicHandheld supports both touch controls and compatible physical game controllers.
