    Maybe my favorite gaming device that I’ve bought!

    I absolutely love the chromatic! I’m so happy that there is a gameboy clone that is over built and high quality for those who want it. The buttons feel great, the screen is beautiful to look at, and it’s overall a very reassuring device. It’s also great that new games are coming out for it.

    The only negatives that I have to share are that the IR blaster was scuffed when it arrived and the bundled Tetris cartridge also looked used from I’m assuming testing. Fortunately, I’ve heard their support team is very responsive to these issues.

    Overall, this device really has breathed new life into my gameboy collection and it’s just such a joy to use. If you are passionate about gameboy, I’d highly recommend the chromatic!

    My favorite handheld!

    I love the Chromatic. The whole device has a very high build quality with an outstanding screen that shows a very pleasing color reproduction, a dpad with accurate diagonals and the best is, it is just plug and play. I use the system menu very rarely, because there is just no need to do so the majority of the time I use the Chromatic. Some minor things could be improved. The AB buttons are a bit loud, the closure of the battery lid is a tad too sharp and selecting a color palette for GB games is a bit uncomfortable.

    My favourite GBC alternative

    I've been using this a lot to play my small collection of my old favourite cartridges. I find the aesthetic of the device to be really appealing and the screen clarity in particular is stunning. I also have an Analogue Pocket, and although that is a more versatile system, I still reach for the Chromatic when I want to play GB or GBC games. It may be a personal preference, but I really do prefer the experience with this over the Analogue Pocket, just slightly. Really happy with it, I just wish I'd gotten a second one as I love the selection of colours. The included version of Tetris is really good, too. It's more feature-complete than the original release, but I still prefer the old version more. It's a nice bonus that comes with the system though.
