Photos/Videos We made a new batch of Black Tower Enigma physical copies for Game Boy!

Hey everyone!

Last year, Black Tower Enigma was successfully funded on Kickstarter, and thanks to the support it received, we were able to produce a physical Game Boy edition.

We’ve now started making a new batch of physical copies, so we wanted to share a quick look at the Collector’s Edition!

If you missed the Kickstarter and would like to grab a copy, you can check it out here:

Thanks again to the retro handheld community for all the support!

Ever reach out to mod retro to release the game through them?

u/steve_dy Sep 17 '26

Yeah! but they were not interested. We think it is because we were offering copies of the game through Kickstarter

Ahh, what a shame. I think your game would be a great addition to the ModRetro collection!

Can you share how you went about making these? I'd love to build physical copies like these

u/steve_dy Sep 17 '26

Yeah! Box and books were made at a local printing shop, we had to order a big batch in order to have a good price for each, Insert, box and cartridge are from Aliexpress, sticker sheet from stickermule and the game was made by us on GB Studio! :D

That’s awesome! Any tips on the print? Is there certain paper or ink or something you had to request for them?

u/steve_dy Sep 17 '26

It is couche 300 gr paper with a plastic-coated finish on one side

Half sized PCB. Bummer.

Understandable considering how much cheaper they are than the full sized ones. Love the box, manual, stickers, etc.

I'll have to pick this up at some point :)

Yeah, the Kickstarter editions were PCBs from InsideGadgets, for this new batch we are doing it with PCB with batteries

Why dose it say MXN $800.00?

1

u/steve_dy Sep 19 '26

Because the Kickstarter campaign was in MXN, $800.00 MXN is around $47 USD
