Hey guys, @Primal_Nexus here with a question for all of you. As @UnsignedArduino told me in the ‘Lore/Story for the Biggest Game’ topic, I would need a high-level piece of hardware to run the biggest game since it uses @kwx’s Space Rocks 3D (amazing if you ask me) simulator for part of the game.

So, my question is…

What type of Raspberry Pi should I get? I’ve seen all of the models and the Pi 400 catches my eye, but I want feedback from all of you ([@everyone](https://forum.makecode.com/groups/everyone)) since I want to be using a nice one.

Any answers would be appreciated! (btw I’m not desperate for hardware **YET** ).

Supposedly pi4 is the strongest.

Get the Pi 400. Least fuss. I think they sell an 8GB RAM version too…

the raspberry pi zero is meant for arcade but is very hard to set up.

It is but it is unfinished because you do not have access to everything, again it may be worth it to have one because they will soon update. Also I would start with a raspberry pi 0 because it is a good introduction to making your own computer.

@UnsignedArduino the Pi 400 costs (here in the UK) around £400 and the 8GB of RAM your talking about is for the Pi 4
