I love my NGPC as well as you guys. It is the only handheld with a VS game, and has one of the best handheld versions of Sonic, therefore being one of my favorite handhelds.

Excluding sony and nintendo handhelds, I guess the only 2 handhelds I could possibly like are NGPC and Game Gear. But, I never finished a game on either of them so....I hate every handheld?

The WonderSwan is really cool. I've got the SwanCrystal. It's a shame this system didn't prosper a bit more.

I love my NGPC as much as anyone else, but I've always had a soft spot for my Lynx. It's the first system I bought new and the only one I still own from new that's older. I enjoy the hell out of Warbirds, California games, Shadow of the Beast, Gauntlet, Ninja Gaiden....the list goes on.

I'm totally in love with my Turboexpress too...

Yes some of the games can be quite tough to find.

I play the NGPC the most but I have all the other major handhelds.

Second to the Neo are Turbo Express, Game Gear, and Lynx. I really don't have a clear winner for second here.

Game Gear has the best library
Lynx has great screen and arcade ports
Express is best screen but not many mobile friendly games.

In third would be the Wonderswan. Great screen that is unfortunately not backlit. Great library if you know some japanese. Very limited library if you dont. Front Mission is way playable.

M o b i l e friendly.

Great games on the platform, but not great if you are just playing around at the airport or coffee shop. Password saves if there are saves at all.

I agree, there is a library, just not a mobile library. What i do not is take pictures of passwords on my phone. and that helps a little. Most Game Gear and NGPC games have level saves or continue points.
