NeoGeo pocket for me. SNK and others did a great job working around the limitations to make their arcade excellence portable. Had an awesome joystick too, so fighting games were definitely playable.

I feel the same way about the game gear. It had a lot of potential, but we instead got so many mediocre games. I'll take the GameBoy Pocket and NGPC over it any day.

I've never even seen a Neo Geo Pocket Color in-person. That's pretty bad

I vote for the Sega Game Gear because it's the only portable that I've ever owned and with the Master Converter, it became a portable Sega Master System! So many people forget how awesome that is

Yours didn't come with an AC adapter?
