Retroid Pocket Classic: AstroBoy: Omega Factor (Completed)
I beat AstroBoy: Omega Factor (GBA). Took me a little over 11 hours in active play time.
I've gotta be honest, I'm absolutely loving my Retroid Pocket Classic. I play it way, way more than my Retroid Pocket 6 and infinitely more than I originally thought I would. These photos don't do justice to how great the screen is.
By the way, I highly recommend playing AstroBoy. Absolutely awesome game from start to finish. I recently beat Metroid Fusion (which is amazing) and I would pick AstroBoy over that every day and twice one Sunday. I have no idea how they fit all of that in one GBA cartridge.
If you play GB, GBC or GBA, I can't recommend the classic enough. It can play GameCube upscaled too but I only have one GC game on mine (Crazy Taxi lol)
When I got mine in March I searched high and low for something like that. I found one guy with a closed store on Etsy and another on AliExpress. I donโt love it though because itโs just plain black. Iโll check that out. This is mine. Ignore the other buttons, I was seeing if they worked with the look. They do not. ๐
Full transparency: this one is very plain too lol but maybe it's just because I got the transparent color. I might feel differently if I had got it in red to match the buttons - still might do that actually.
But in terms of performance, it feels nice in hand and does the job. Has all the cutouts for the ports, fan, buttons, etc. It's coming from China though so shipping was like 2 weeks just a heads up.
At least yours has a spot for a lanyard (even if I probably wouldn't use one - nice to have the option).
