The Ultimate Handheld Gaming Tribute
Palmer Luckey, the genius behind Oculus VR and founder of defense technology company Anduril Industries, has once again proven that innovation knows no bounds. In an unexpected collaboration, Anduril has partnered with ModRetro to create a limited edition Chromatic console that brings military-grade materials to handheld gaming.
The Anduril Edition Chromatic represents more than just a gaming device. It is a statement piece that merges the precision engineering of defense technology with the nostalgic joy of classic gaming.
Defense-Grade Craftsmanship
Each Anduril Edition Chromatic is finished by hand in America with Cerakote, the same ultra-durable ceramic-polymer formulation that protects Ghost, Anduril's flagship autonomous air vehicle. The body is made from the same magnesium aluminum alloy used in Anduril's attack drones, ensuring exceptional durability while remaining lightweight and cool to the touch.
Titanium Nitride, a finish typically reserved for high-performance tooling, is applied to each screw through vapor deposition. A Sapphire screen cover provides near diamond-hardness protection for the Anduril wordmark and custom display below.
Pixel-Perfect Gaming Experience
The Chromatic display was engineered from the ground up by ModRetro with one purpose: to deliver the exact size, subpixel structure, and color balance required to experience Game Boy games as the original artists intended. The console is fully compatible with Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Chromatic cartridges.
Additional features include USB-C for lagless video output, a backwards-compatible link cable port, IR link functionality, and a 3.5mm headphone output for premium audio. The device runs on three AA batteries or the optional ModRetro Rechargeable Power Core.
The Complete Bundle
The Anduril Edition comes as a complete bundle including the Anduril Edition Chromatic console, Anduril Edition Koss Porta Pro Headphones, collector's packaging, a stainless steel Anduril Logo Charm protected by PVD Titanium Nitride finish, a Chromatic Tetris cartridge, and three AA ModRetro batteries.
The included Porta Pro headphones deliver a rich, detailed audio experience across various genres, perfectly complementing the gaming experience with frequencies ranging from 15 to 25,000 Hz.
Engineered for Excellence
All six sides of the device are painstakingly fixtured and laser-etched on every single interaction point. Custom CNC grooving adds additional decorative detail to the body. For collectors and gaming enthusiasts who demand performance and reliability under any conditions, the Anduril Edition Chromatic stands alone.
The bundle is available at ModRetro and Anduril Gear, with free shipping available in select regions for orders meeting minimum thresholds.
