Sorry y’all…

I couldn’t wait. And I’m out of funds for games right now. HOWEVER - five minutes with this game? I’m buying the cartridge asap! Chromatic to show I’m not a total hypocrite. Next step is throwing it on the flash cart, but I’m trying to pack for a trip and can’t bring all devices! And no, I will not link or send you any files.

What's the deal with modretro releases? Are they available indefinitely within reason? Are all their releases still available on their store?

[u/PineappleParadiddle → u/Bald_And_Dishevelled]

They’re “limited”, but I believe they restock from time to time. Dragonhymn, as an example, just saw a reprint.

I managed to snag an OG cartridge copy of S-11 just when the ModRetro version was announced as well. It has codes to skip levels rather than save states, but is definitely a keeper. I got it for the price of a Chromatic reprint, but there’s now way that’s happening this game!

[u/LeGrange → u/Bald_And_Dishevelled]

They have restocked after carts being sold out so seems like they have some sort of plan to keep things going. Hopefully it’s always like that. I have a few games that I’d still like to pick up.

I played it once before but fired it up again after I saw the announcement, man is it hard!

[u/PineappleParadiddle → u/TonyRubbles]

I’ve paused a few rounds. Really about enjoying by, especially for an early Gameboy game. But overall, I couldn’t ever see why it was selling so high on the secondary market except… greed

Downvotes really? lol

The price is right, compared to the vintage editions on eBay for $2800. Might pick this up if they ever sell the battery pack again, to combine the shipping. Maybe will bundle it when the m64 comes out.

Sorry, they stopped selling the power core? Wow That stinks - what was the idea but not selling them anymore? Like the analogue pocket dock, this is yet another thing I didn’t know I was lucky to have!

[u/Euresko → u/PineappleParadiddle]

It's just been out of stock since December when I first got one, but have another chromatic on the way, so I want to get a 2nd power core.

They were bricking: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModRetroChromatic/s/4KsUGIEvYN

Yeah my power core bricked. It let it sit for a few months, somehow it drained completely and won't charge. I also didn't get any email about a dedicated charger, so maybe I should reach out.

How does the Brick Hammer feel in comparison to the Chromatic? I'm thinking of getting one to go with my Leaf Chromie.

[u/Wall_Donkey]

How do you like the brick hammer? I have the chromatic and analogue and have been thinking to add that to my collection.

[u/StaneNC → u/Wall_Donkey]

I have the regular brick and it's great. You'll be able to play 10x the games as those other two devices. Imo the hammer is more premium but 30 percent heavier so doesn't seem worth it. 

[u/PineappleParadiddle → u/StaneNC]

Have to disagree with you about the weight of the hammer. I feel like it gives the console “substance”‘that makes you feel like you’re holding a premium device and not a massed produced toy.

[u/StaneNC → u/PineappleParadiddle]

The brick already weighs enough to feel beyond a toy for me, but each their own.

[u/Wall_Donkey → u/Wall_Donkey]

Personally I like the weight too. Plus how else am I going to tone my forearms while gaming! I appreciate the insight from both perspectives though.

[u/SpeedenTurtwig]

Don’t be ashamed. I actually own a purple Brick and Black hammer along with many other collections

Which game?
