How to Buy and Play Madsox Games Titles on itch.io

Updated 2026-10-16

Madsox Games is a small British games studio that sells its titles directly on its itch.io page, madsoxgames.itch.io. You can buy and download any listed game from that page, with prices shown in USD per title. Several releases are Game Boy–style games, and the page currently links to a Summer Sale 2026 event. If you want a specific Madsox game, the page itself is the storefront — there is no separate launcher or store required.

What you'll find on the Madsox Games page

The page lists the studio's catalog with title, platform tag, genre, and price. From the current listing:

Title	Platform tag	Genre	Price
Retro Maker Simulator	Game Boy	Simulation	—
Grave Rogue 2	Game Boy	Adventure	$4.50
Exit 8-bit	Game Boy	Puzzle	—
Grave Rogue	Game Boy	Adventure	$4
Retro Handheld Simulator	Game Boy	Simulation	—
Death Row Brawl	Game Boy	—	$4.50
Death Row 2	Game Boy	Role Playing	$6
Death Row	Game Boy	Role Playing	$3

The page also carries a Summer Sale 2026 link (itch.io/s/190510/summer-sale-2026), which may change prices or bundle terms while it runs. Check the individual game page for the price that applies at checkout.

How to buy a title

Open madsoxgames.itch.io in a browser.
Click the game you want from the catalog grid.
On the game page, select the purchase or download option. itch.io handles payment and delivery; the price shown on the listing is in USD.
Complete checkout through itch.io's payment flow.
After purchase, the game appears in your itch.io library, where you can download it or use the itch.io app to install and update it.

Expected result: the title is tied to your itch.io account, and you can re-download it later without paying again.

How to play them

These are Game Boy–tagged releases, so expect Game Boy–style presentation and controls. The practical path is:

Download the files from your itch.io library after purchase.
If the download is a ROM-style file, you'll need a Game Boy emulator to run it on desktop or mobile.
If the download includes a standalone build, run that directly instead.

The page does not specify which format each title ships in, so confirm the file type on the individual game page before buying if emulator setup matters to you.

Choosing between the Death Row titles

The three Death Row entries differ mainly in price and version:

Death Row — $3, Role Playing, described as a small, dense horror role-play game set on death row.
Death Row 2 — $6, Role Playing, the same description, positioned as the sequel.
Death Row Brawl — $4.50, a separate Game Boy title in the same setting.

If you're new to the series, start with the $3 original to test whether the style works for you before paying $6 for the sequel. If you already know you like the format, the sequel is the fuller purchase at twice the price.

Common snags

Prices are per title, in USD. There is no indication on the page of a bundle price or an all-games pack, so budget per game.
Sale timing matters. The Summer Sale 2026 link is live on the page; buying outside a sale period means paying the listed price.
Platform tag ≠ guaranteed format. "Game Boy" describes the style and target platform, not necessarily the file you receive. Check the game page's download details.
No pricing or login terms beyond what's listed. The page does not state whether purchases require an itch.io account, though itch.io checkout normally does. Treat account creation as part of the process unless the game page says otherwise.

Quick answer

Buy from madsoxgames.itch.io, pay the per-title USD price, download from your itch.io library, and run the files with a Game Boy emulator if needed. Start with Death Row ($3) if you're unsure about the series, and check the Summer Sale 2026 link before paying full price.
