ModRetro, the company behind the excellent Chromatic handheld, is further supporting the retro games line up with re-releases of classic titles. The company has announced that it is now shipping new cartridges of Baby T-Rex, one of the rarest Game Boy games released, and space shooter Project S-11.

​

Oh no! The evil magician Sethron has kidnapped Rexette, Rex's girlfriend and hidden her in his spooky castle, where he intends to carry out his demonic experiments. Now the Rex master has to stop him before it's too late! Slam through 16 wild levels of jammin-jungles, crystalised caves, dangerous dungeons and terrifying towers. Can you help the coolest dinosaur around to run, jump, shoot and skate... to defeat all the dangers that separate him from the love of his life? Not an easy job, but would our hero need your help otherwise?

​

You are the lone operative of Project S-11, tasked with a critical mission: infiltrate the advancing alien armada and deliver vital intel to defend your home world from total annihilation. Battle through eight relentless stages filled with swarms of enemy ships, dodging fire and collecting powerful upgrades that transform your combat strategy. Will you rise to the challenge and save your planet? The fate of the world is now—quite literally—in your hands.

Baby T-Rex and Project S-11 are now available for $35 and $55, respectively, on the ModRetro website. Keep an eye out for our upcoming coverage of these games!

Those prices are whack

Those prices are whack

Because it's not a ROM,but a cartridge + things they have to manufacture and deliver.

Wasn't Baby T-Rex the game that was actually a reskin of the Game Boy version of We're Back! A Dinosaurs Story?

Not to mention it was also released as Agro Soar in Australia.

Correct. It was also going to release as Ed the Duck in the UK based on CBBC's mascot, but it ended up getting canned until the GigaLeak.

I keep forgetting that Radical Rex ≠ Baby T-Rex ≠ GON

I'd rather get a ROM to use on my flashcart. Stupid prices for a cartridge.

what the fuck have these goons been smokin to charge that much for a fucking cart!

 

[Segger]

This is definitely one of those things where the value entirely consists of its shelf aesthetics, the actual games don't look fun or interesting at all

bro Project S-11 is such a random choice probably nobody has heard of, yet it's literally the first game I ever owned and didn't have to share with my brother (I think my parents just picked it from a discount bin at gamestop, as this was a few years after the gba released). Game is okay, but the music is top notch. The "Ekans Desert" theme is an ear worm.

Every time I see ModRetro ads, I'm tempted to buy it, but I don't because I already have a modded SP that can play GB games on a nicer screen. This S-11 release feels like it's laser targeted at me... except I still have my original cartridge, so spending $45 for a fancy box and keychain would be dumb.

Never heard of the games, but cool, I guess. Lol

It's a retail quality release in a box, with printed instruction booklet.

But still. Times have changed. The average length of a video game today is far longer, making this era seem quaint by comparison.

Those prices are whack

I don't like ModRetro's boss, but the prices are totally common for GB cartridges. It's rather expensive to have them manufactured properly including box and manual.

 

[CMDreamer]

Not just the prices are stupid, but people willing to pay that much for them. They're getting scammed.

It's just not worth it, there's no real "historical" value on those.

 

[SuffahBish]

Incube8 is re-releasing Dragon's Lair: The Legend as well. Here.

You'd be surprised what people are willing to fork over all because of nostalgia
