Neo Geo Pocket Color Game Recommendations

Seems strange, yeah. Fantastic game, regardless. I'd probably pay up to 30 for it, so this may be one of the rare instances where my expectations, and the price of a rare game match up.

If only it were the same for Faselei! I used to have it, and paid around £80, like new, boxed etc. I enjoyed it, but still don't think it was worth that much. Box art was cool, though.

I really enjoyed Beast buster a few years back. Horror themed Zelda type game.

What's Biomotor & PAL Evolution run these days?

Whoa- i just took a casual look at ebay UK for Biomotor Unitron- seems to be going for £20-30. Then a PAL version of Evolution for £130??? WTF.

Biomotor Unitron was released in all three regions early on in the handheld's life as an attempt to cash in on Pokemon.

But the Evolution port was released late, with a smaller print run, and only in the UK and Japan. The UK is the only English version, so you're now looking at the effects of both the NTSC-U and the PAL markets fixating on them. That's what causes the spike in prices.

Surely the Evolution dungeons aren't randomly generated like the DC games, correct?

I haven't played it myself, but my understanding is that the NGPC game is basically a demake of the original. There's an article on HG101 that would fill us in though.

Ah, i see, i see.

TBH, i never actually enjoyed Evolution on DC much, so i'm glad that i'm not collecting for NGPC.

Most i ever paid for a game was Panzer Dragoon Saga which, whilst a great game, wasn't really worth the £150 i paid at the time. Lesson learned!
