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.

    Platform Perfection!

    Who would have thought that GameStop's longtime mascot would get his own game? And it's great! Movement is responsive and fluid. The levels, enemies, and bosses have so much variety and get progressively more challenging without being impossible. Fantastic music. Beautiful graphics and colors. This game is full of charming nostalgia that is sure to please gamers from all generations. So much content and fun to be had packed into one cartridge. Don't sleep on this game!

    Great game!

    Love the game and how it's not a "young" persons game. I crack up with some of the language. Another must have game from Modretro!

    An Engaging Adult Platformer

    I wasn't sure of this game when I ordered it. Gamestop? Hmm, well, I'll try it. It turned out to be an extremely fun platformer with quiet a bit of adult humor. Controls are spot on and the collectibles are simple to understand and somewhat easy to find. I let my 10 year old granddaughter play it and she loved it (I'm not going to tell my son). All in all, you won't be disappointed with this one. One note I would mention: the cartridge would not update using the updater or save progress. I guess there have been a sparse few reports of this happening. ModRetro tech support is sending out a new game. 5 starts to ModRetro for their support.

    Sarcastic humor

    A great game that pulls you in with its sarcastic humor and offers a well‑balanced difficulty level. An absolute must‑play for any Chromatic fan.

    Awesome game

    Fun, very unique game. I can’t think of anything to compare it too. You’re a bunnie fighting in a cursed universe with a shot gun! What’s not to love haha. Great game though for anyone who likes platformers, and old school retro games.
