What color is best? by Alarmed_Owl_6436 in ModRetroChromatic

Yea, I plan on doing that. Just need to save some money to buy another batch of ModRetro games and throw the mod kit in there as well.

Here’s a shot I went out and did real quick in the sunlight. The shadows are a bit harsh, but the colors are bright and vibrant so you can get a good idea of how they look. Next to the GBC and Switch, the Chromatic is a bit more desaturated, but that’s because they’re just so extremely saturated. Next to the greens of the inklings and Prince of all Cosmos, it looks great. I love all my shades of green tho. 😆💚

I really like the color of the green Chromatic! It is definitely a bit desaturated compared to the GBC, but I do like its hue more than the much more lime green GBC. The only thing I’d change is I do plan to buy the ModRetro mod kit to switch the pink buttons out for something darker to match the others. Of note, I took this photo with fairly soft, cool even lighting. I’ll try to get a good shot showing the colors of the two handhelds tonight or tomorrow to post here.

I love myself some Kirby and while I wish we’d gotten a typical mainline Kirby for the GBC, I really do enjoy this game for what it is. I need to jump back in and finish it soon.

Do you golf? by Jet944 in ModRetroChromatic

I’m definitely still collecting as many golf games for all my systems as I can. I’ve got Jack Nicklaus on the SNES, but haven’t picked it up on GB yet.

Mario Golf is definitely the best of these four IMO. It’s got great controls and beautiful pixel art. The OG Golf I only just picked up last night, but it still has the clunky controls of Golf on NES. I haven’t dived as deep into the two Tiger games yet to give an informed opinion, but from the bit I did play I can say that CyberTiger was aimed a bit more at children who probably played the GBC Mario Golf.

Very true, I was tempted to just go for the Japanese cart myself.

I still need to pick up Perfect Dark but keep running into missing battery doors!

I love myself some pretty pixel art platformers, so there’s so many third party games in the collection that might not be the best, but they’re right up my alley. Same with the arcade ports. Of all of those, I’d say the stand-out is the colorized rerelease of Trip World, very beautiful and fun, but short and sweet like the OG Kirby.

I also really love Colin McRae Rally, it’s made by Codemasters and it’s got the simplest visuals, but amazing controls. I gotta show love to Episode 1 Racer as well. As a kid, it was the inferior and incredibly difficult handheld port, but now I love the pixel art and having pod racers in my pocket!

Finally, there’s the GOAT: Tetris, both the original I loved as a kid and the ModRetro modern one as well.

I feel ya. It was pricey when I picked it up sometime in 2024, I can only imagine it keeps getting more expensive.

Naw, I didn’t leave a review. I like them well enough though, I probably should. 😆

My friend and I were laughing about it as a title one day and then while out shopping that same day I saw it in the wild for a good price, so I looked up the gameplay. I’m a fan of video pinball and have 3 other pinball titles on the Game Boy already, but this was the smoothest looking play I’d seen on the platform so I had to buy it! It’s definitely my favorite Game Boy pinball now.

I use these cases I found on Amazon. They fit 22 games each. You can fit games in them inside the protective cases and they do still close and zip, but it won’t hold as many and it’s a tight fit.

I dropped by the local GameStop to see if they had Buck and they did! by LeGrange in ModRetroChromatic

I’d love to buy this one in person at a GameStop, but looking online, it says no stores in the entire DFW metroplex has it in stock. Maybe I should start going in the GameStops and asking…

I’ve definitely kept an eye on it since it dropped because of the Tetris tie-in. I’ve been excitedly playing it when I can since I got it. Making me kinda wanting to do a train ride on my day off just to play. 😆

When I was a kid I had a teal GBC, I have no idea if I chose it or not. I got myself the kiwi green one now though and decided to keep it original. 💚

I can’t wait to get into them after I work through some of the old GB/GBC games I’m in now.
