I remember buying mine from Gamestop, after the NGPC had officialy died. It came in a cheap plastic after market package with 5 or 6 games, metal slug first mission, pacman, samurai showdown 2, KOF, neo turf masters, and another one. But remember the games only came with the GB style protective game covers, no original packaging. Maybe it has something to do with them going broke?

I just recently bought 20 NGPC Games Complete along with 2 Neo Geo Pocket Colors all for $210. In my opinion it's not that tough to find the games complete you just have to look and be patient.

This past summer I found 3 complete NGPC games at some garage sales.

Congrats man, yeah just keep looking I'm sure you'll find some more great deals.

I just picked up Match of the Millennium as well and I've been playing the hell out of it. I'm not usually a huge fan of fighting games but this one's got me hooked.

This guy just went off on ebay. I bet a hundred at 4 minutes left over the phone while i was at the bar. Kinda just crossed my fingers becuase i couldn't refresh like a madman.

I have a neo geo pocket color, and 3 complete games. Unfortunately, there are only really maybe 15 or 20 games that people like to play on the NGPC so in lots like this there are usually doubles for me, but this one was perfect! Worm light and everything! I really thought i had it. Oh well.

I settled on picking up a psp instead. I'm looking forward to throwing neo geo and NGPC on it. I'll probably pick up some NGPC complete games here and there, but an ebay lot like that doesn't come around often.


did a racketer get it at least? Just curious...

Ha! I remember that exact one. I worked at a video/music/book store and we had them for like 30 bucks, plus I got 20% off....and I was like nah...
doh! :shock:

the usually sell the units around here for 40, and the games, which are rarely complete for 5-15.

I had mostly loose games when I briefly played/collected for this little gem. I bought a bundled system with like 20 loose games (off amazon) for like 90 shipped then I bought like 5+ boxed games all of which I found through neogeo.com which is what I recommend. They can be found just not as easily as loose.
