Buck and the Cursed Cartridge

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.

    Buck Is Gold

    One of my favorite Gameboy games. Fantastic platformer I couldn't put it down. I loved ever second of it. You play as Buck the Gamestop mascot sucked into a cursed video game and have to clear it to escape. 6 large worlds and a huge variety of gameplay. Pick it up. It is so worth it.
