Don't Die Mr. Robot! Debuts on Neo Geo Pocket Color: Celebrating 25 Years with a Classic Demake

Classic arcade-inspired action meets retro hardware as Infinite State Games brings "Don't Die Mr.

Robot!" to the Neo Geo Pocket Color, 25 years after the console's original release.

The announcement marks a significant moment for fans of both indie games and classic handhelds, as the British developer revisits its widely acclaimed title with a faithful demake specifically designed for vintage and modern retro hardware. Originally launched on the PlayStation Vita, "Don't Die Mr.

Robot!" quickly developed a cult following thanks to its engaging mechanics and simple yet addictive gameplay.

Infinite State Games' approach to accessibility and challenge made the title an enduring favorite, leading to subsequent releases including the 2018 Nintendo Switch version, titled "Don't Die Mr.

Robot! DX." In 2025, a 3D version of the game is also set to arrive on multiple platforms, reflecting the continued popularity and evolution of the franchise. "Mr.

Robot has landed on the Neo Geo Pocket Color at long last," Infinite State Games announced.

"He's fashionably late by 25 years, but that’s never stopped him from having a blast.

Players can dodge a variety of uniquely dangerous adversaries—including Spikers, Roombas, Bombers, Zappers, and Seekers—while remaining wary of the unstoppable Brute." The developer’s statement captures the title’s playful spirit and its retro homage. This new demake is available to play directly in web browsers, ensuring accessibility for both newcomers and seasoned fans eager to revisit Mr.

Robot’s escapades.

Additionally, the game supports authentic hardware play; users can download the ROM to experience the title on original Neo Geo Pocket Color consoles using a flash cart, or enjoy it through emulation.

The game is also compatible with the Analogue Pocket, utilizing its NGPC FPGA core for a faithful recreation of the handheld experience. Infinite State Games has also provided technical solutions for those using emulation.

Due to an issue where some emulators struggle with the game’s score-save functionality, an alternative version, "MRROBOT_NOSAVE.ngp," is available for download.

This ensures players can enjoy uninterrupted gameplay, regardless of their preferred platform. With the launch of "Don't Die Mr.

Robot!" on Neo Geo Pocket Color, Infinite State Games celebrates both its own creative legacy and the vibrant community committed to retro handheld gaming.

As the franchise expands across platforms, including the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming 3D iteration, the enduring appeal of Mr.

Robot looks set to delight fans for years to come.
