I recently bought a Neo Geo Pocket Color with four games. My favorite game so far is Puzzle Link, followed by Gals Fighters. Sonic Adventure was graphically nice, but lacking fun factor.

Does anybody know any good games for the NGPC?

I don't have one, but there's a strategy game that was supposedly pretty good, although I can't remember the name of it. It was comparable to the Front Mission series. And there are always the Metal Slug games.

EDIT: The name of the mech strategy game was "Faselei!" Good luck finding it though. That goes for other Neo Geo Pocket games too.

I thought this system is already "dead?" Anyways glad you're enjoying yourself ^^; you should've gotten a Gameboy Advance or a DS, just a suggestion..

Holy crap! I bought that sucker back when it came out and the very 1st game I got for it was Samurai Showdown.

It wasn't till later I picked up another great fighter for it Capcom vs. SNK by far one of the best fighters available for any handheld at the time.

The Neo Geo Pocket Colors aren't on sale in their original packaging anymore. I've seen them in some stores packaged with four cartridges, but you can only tell that they're an NGPC when you look on the text on the handheld itself inside the shrinkwrapped packaging. The packaging itself gives no indication that the handheld is what it is.

I'm glad they're still on sale, honestly.

Um..excuse me? I don't know what it is..can anyone tell me?

I actually have that game, but the text is entirely in Japanese. If I could figure out a way to change the text, that'll be great. I'm still looking for Metal Slug though. I played my friend's Metal Slug before; that was fun :3

Technically, yes, the NGPC system is dead. It was discontinued about a year after its release due to SNK's bankruptcy. It was recalled and the company tried to sell it in China, where it thrived. But somehow some of the unshipped units were released in 2003 packaged with games.

I'm still saving up for a Nintendo DS... I have small pockets. :P

YEAH! I'm still looking for those two titles though. eBay only showed one copy so far... >_<

This one is pretty hard to explain. Here's a link to Wikipedia's Neo Geo Pocket Color article. @_@

You'd think they might be able to sell what units they have left faster if they had named the thing "Neo Geo Pocket Color" instead of the cheap sounding "Color Pocket Arcade." At least that's the name on the packaging of the NGPCs I've seen in some stores.

The 2 metal slugs for the NGP were good. i dont know any other games besides those though since those are the only ones i played XD. To bad they stopped making games for it though.

The NGP is indeed dead, for some time actually. Too bad, it was a pretty good system.
