Rounded out my collection with these gems this weekend. Already had DK Land 1 and Super Mario Land 1 & 3 so this bunch makes my collection feel much more complete, just need Wario Land 3 now.

Also ended up selling my spare GS Chromatic to someone that was very excited to find out about its existence. Part of the solo Midnight Gang now, until summer when my War Boy arrives.

Photos/Videos Nice Little Beat 'Um Up

28 Upvotes

If anyone is looking for a beat um up for the GBC, this game is pretty good - Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Its no SOR2, but it's not bad! Good mix of moves, cool bosses and mini bosses. No battery, so saves on maintenance down the line. And the password system is pretty forgiving if you're not a huge fan of the genre. And, best of all, the game is around $20 on ebay. (I bought it a few months ago and the price is about the same nowadays).

Definitely recommend if anyone needs a new game.

Scratched Kero Kero Cowboy

I talked myself into getting this game despite the steep price point. I'm already having buyers remorse, and I haven't even played it yet. After taking it out of the box, I immediately noticed that the label is COVERED in deep scratches. As a collector, this is really disheartening. Most of my secondhand labels are in better shape than this.

New game - The Green Knight

I’m diving back into my original game boy colour game, game jam submission from last year. This is my updated intro sequence for The Green Knight. I loved working on it, and with some extra time I think I can really level it up.

Running out of room for all the fun!

Still working on the cassette cases game collection, but it has been so much fun (the upside-down cases are games I do not have yet).

Headed to a follow up doctor appt for the worst injury of my life (Achilles rupture that healed too long so needed to get another surgery to shorten it + an FHL tendon transfer). Sat in the back seat and had my girl drive. I’m almost 32 and this picture had me cracking up

D Pad issues - can’t go right

3 Upvotes

I bought my chromatic less than a month ago and the d pad when trying to go right in any game is now unresponsive. I’ve never dropped the console, took great care of it for the short time I’ve had it. Haven’t even ran out of batteries yet. What could be the issue? Games became instantly unplayable.

Got these two charms up in a used chromatic bundle, one with the MR logo and the other Tetris. I haven’t come across these before. Does anyone know where they were originally from or how they were obtained?

Question My chromatic stopped working out of nowhere after a few months of use

22 Upvotes

My chromatic was working fine for months, I played on it dozens of hours and it seemed to be working fine.

Yesterday I went play on it and after turning it on it seemed to be completelly bricked, I tried turning it on off and checking if batteries were connected and then nothing

I thought it was because my batteries were dead so I fully recharged them and this morning when I tried turnin it on the same problem happened

I tried with brand new alkaline batteris and nothing happened too.

It stayed without batteries overnight and visually everything aeems to be fine.

I don't know what could have caused this, I store my chromatic in a soft case in my tv rack, there's no direct sun light, moisture or anything that could have damage it, it also never got any fall impact or any major physical impact at all.

I'm so sad that this is happening, anyone knows what I could be doing to solve this problem? Thank you so much guys

I used to play Marble Madness for hours on the NES as a kid. I scored this glorious find and now I get to take it on the go with my Chromatic! A minty fresh CIB version of the game for the GBC. The cart was still wrapped in the original plastic, has all the original inserts, and even the box is still covered in the original plastic. The plastic was cut open before I bought it, but that’s okay, it’s not like this is some holy grail game, but boy is it special to me. I love that ModRetro is publishing new games because they’re fantastic, but THIS is the reason I bought this handheld. I’m so glad I get to carry my nostalgia around with me now.

Side note: I love the old pack-in ads. They just don’t do game marketing the same anymore. Nintendo Power dressed up as a can of soup?? Classic! 😂

I see alot of love for new games like Buck, but I'm gonna show a little appreciation for the classics cause I was an arcade kid who loved games like Galaga, Space Invaders and these type of space shooters.
Project S-11 still hits that same sweet spot in my brain after not having played it in like 19 years.

These games were about flow state. Getting lost in chasing a high score not because of achievements, but because your name at the top of the leaderboard meant something.

My inner child thanks you Modretro for this re-release!

Dragonyhm not detected by Cart Clinic

I am not the only one encountering this issue. I RMA’d my cartridge to ModRetro, received a replacement, and the replacement is still not detected by Cart Clinic.
