Spacebot Interactive and IZMA have finally put their retro title Deadeus for the Game Boy up for pre-order today. This retro game is about as big of a throwback as you can get at the developer has put it to a cartridge, making it one of the few games out there that is not a simple ROM hack. You actually need an old-school Game Boy to play this thing, which surprisingly, a lot of people still own. (Yes, you can still go purchase a digital version on their website for $12, they didn't make it that exclusive.) But the team is heavily promoting this throwback version that plays beautifully on the handheld console. You can read more about the game below and check out the latest trailer for it, as you can buy the physical edition for $42.
