From GameStop to game-trapped, Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is a fast-paced platformer where one bad cartridge leads to a wild, glitch-filled adventure.

When Buck, a die-hard retro gamer, buys a mysterious cartridge labeled “DEFINITELY NOT A CURSED CARTRIDGE” from his local GameStop, things go sideways fast. The moment he pops it into his Chromatic, he’s sucked through the screen and trapped inside the game! To escape, Buck must battle through pixelated worlds, outsmart glitchy bosses, and uncover who—or what—is pulling the strings. With help from a rogue hacker, hidden cheats, and his trusty blaster, Buck’s only way out is to beat the game itself.

    The Best Christmas Gift

    The ModRetro Chromatic is the gift that keeps on giving! I got Buck and the Cursed Cartridge for Christmas and it is awesome. A new game that captures retro platforming and exploration. It’s just plain fun. Highly recommend!

    This game is great!

    I was hoping for a great platformer for the Chromatic and this really surprised me with how great the gameplay is. The callbacks to other titles and the humor are also wonderful. I’m loving my Chromatic and these new titles make it all worth it, the are far superior to the Mario Land titles, etc.
