Over the last few months I have gotten a lot of questions about what games will or won’t work on the Retron 2. For a while I have been putting together a list of some of the games and issues associated with the Retron 2. I have also got some help from DK Oldies and a few friends over at DigitPress.

Super Scope 6 Gun will work but you can not use a controller it wont let two player mode work on Terminator: Arcade, Metal Combat, etc. At times different copies of the same game can work differently in the same console. This may be explained by a malfunction with the cartridge itself. Some copies of Dragon Warrior or Super Mario Bros. 2 for example will not work in the Retron 2; while other copies of the same games will operate in the same machine. Konami Justifier also does not work at all.
Will Reproduction cartridges play in my Retron?
Yes I have personally tested a few of my repro carts in my Retron 2 and Retron 5.
Had to the list Kirby DreamLand 3
added Kirby 3 to the list. Thanks!
I have had problems with Faria, Dragon Warrior IV, and mega man 5 on the retron 2… basically anything with the gold label that talks about the battery.
