Buck and the Cursed Cartridge | ModRetro Chromatic / Game Boy Color Compatible

Jump into Buck and the Cursed Cartridge, a fast-paced retro platformer starring Buck in a glitch-filled cartridge adventure. After picking up a suspicious game from GameStop, Buck gets pulled into the game itself and has to blast through dangerous levels, dodge traps, battle bosses, and survive a weird pixel world to escape. Official descriptions from ModRetro and GameStop position it as a new action platformer built for the ModRetro Chromatic, with Game Boy Color compatibility also listed.

From the screenshots, the game leans hard into classic handheld platforming: tight jumps, hazard-heavy stages, boss fights, pixel art environments, and collectible-driven progression. The visual style gives it a strong late-era Game Boy Color feel, which makes it a standout cartridge for both people who want a fun platformer and collectors who like modern retro releases. This gameplay description is based on the images you shared, while the official premise comes from ModRetro and GameStop.

History of the game
Buck and the Cursed Cartridge was released by ModRetro as a new retro platformer tied to GameStop’s Buck mascot. ModRetro’s official page says Buck buys a cartridge labeled “DEFINITELY NOT A CURSED CARTRIDGE,” inserts it into his Chromatic, and gets trapped inside the game. A GB Studio Central interview states the game hit shelves on October 31, 2025 as a surprise shadow drop through a partnership involving ModRetro and GameStop.
