i want to look at retro games as well as raspberry pi singles. I have no clue what frequency to buy.

There are lots of scopes under $500 that have higher bandwidth, but for me personally in that price range I would be happy with a 2 channel 100 MHz scope and as much memory as possible. A good question…

Hi Scott,

I have had a lot of fun building a few of these kits. If you have some soldering skills you can't go wrong for $20.99 US. Here are the specs and a link to the vendor.

As far as looking at the electronics of video games with a scope you will probable need a better scope and a lot of foundational electronics and software experience to be able to interpret what you are looking at. If you just want a basic scope to look at lower frequencies this kit is pretty great.
