Steamboy
The original Steamboy, later renamed the Smatch Zero, was pitched in 2015 as a portable Steam Machine with a predicted release date in 2016.

SMATCH Z
In 2019 the console design was revised to incorporate a superior AMD Ryzen CPU, with plans to ship later in the year. This revision of console hardware was playable at E3 2019. Later that year another CPU upgrade was announced.

Production issues lead to the console being delayed to 2020. The Smatch Z was then intended to release in 2020.

By 2021 the manufacturer of the still unreleased console faced bankruptcy.
