I Love My Neo-Geo Pocket Color!

Haha, I ended up finding two cart only copies at a local game store so I'm good on that front now.

I have full sheets of protective screening that i just cut for these retro consoles. I don't know why you would buy a precut one for any amount.

Maybe i should start stamping and selling premade screens.

That is a good point. Where do you normally order the sheets from? I found some that look like a fair deal ( but if you know about something better I'd appreciate the help.

Yeah i get similar stuff

Looking forward to getting some copies of MotM.

Hmmm.. I wonder if somebody has a nice CIB copy for sale... click the link in my signature!

Shame on you for selling the greatest portable fighter ever made, noise.

Got a silver NGPC when it first released in the UK. It's still going strong and my kids like playing MotM, KOF R2, Sonic.

I still have a go on MotM (the Arthur mini-game rules), R2, NG Golf and Metal Slug 1st Mission. I've completed Faselei several times as well but Biomotor Unitron was under par. Card Fighters didn't capture me either.

Overall it's a great handheld - gotta love the microswitches clicking as you play - but the lack of a backlight was a shame. Retro Gamer (a UK based magazine) did a feature on it once. I'll dig out the mag and let you know when I've found it, unless someone's already posted it before?

I don't know why anyone would get rid of Match of the Millennium. I found my copy, complete in box, for 15 dollars about a year ago and it's my favourite game for the system.

I'll probably get Last Blade with he $50 eBay card I have if I can find a PS3 arcade stick that isn't too expensive. Eventually I'll have all of the pocket fighters, and then I'll be a Pokemon master!

With arcade sticks, don't go for too cheap. Even if frugality might net you a NGPC game, a cheap arcade stick is simply a waste.

Yeah. About the cheapest arcade stick that's even worth using is the first of the Street Fighter IV sticks, the little white one, and even playing with that for a while makes you crave some mods to replace the buttons and the stick.

^why? :.(

i've had my fun with it, time to pass it on. eneded up trading for a nes top loader.

Thanks to vlame I got hooked up with a link cable from Yoshimitsu on GameTZ for a great price! Thank you again, man, I appreciate the help and the ability to enjoy multiplayer makes these systems even better.

you're welcome!

I just got my Neo Geo Pocket Color and games today. Everything looks great. I didn't realize how small it actually is. I was expecting something around the size of the Game Boy. I really love the feel of the thumbstick, and the sound is fantastic.

And the fighting games really do work well, even with just 2 action buttons. Why couldn't any other hand held companies seem to get fighting games on the go right in the 90s? It's the perfect quick-play type game that works so well with handhelds.

Actually, good point. The GameBoy SNK games work pretty well too. Then my question is... how come we didn't get more games like SNK vs Capcom: MotM with three modes of play??
