ppl who have visited the geny forum will notice my questions about the Nomad. i have the same interest in the Neo Geo Pocket Colour.

i have noticed on lik-sang that the unit and the games are quite cheap. why is this? how old is the technology? game boy colour equivalant?

who has one are they any good?

Boggles my mind that you don't have one

The graphics are on the level of GBC but the games are based on fun-factor and they rock... It is hard to compare the NGP to Gameboy because NGP is usually 2d backgrounds or landscaping.. NGP uses different kinds of programming than Gameboy products... They are almost opposite.

It is Neo-Geo man I mean come on! Neo-Geo is the best

The best thing about the NGP is the controls and control stick... The control stick is a fully 360 rotatable joystick that feels so good in the hands. You will like it!

Metal Slug 1st and 2nd mission are recommended and SNK Match of the Millenium.

Here are some pics...

Actually, the joystick is a standard 8 direction stick very similar to the ount used in the NeoGeo CD controllers.

If you had a 360 degree stick, you wouldn't be able to play King of fighters because it would be virtually impossible to find the diagonals used in moves (you'd have a 1:360 chance of hitting them ).

Just because you can move it in a circle doesn't make it a 360 degree stick.

Generally, if you have a circular stick (I refuse to say 360ยบ... they're accurate within minutes these days, not just degrees), a digital game will use ranges to approximate "digital presses".

At my local Game fellas store, they have a whole bunch of neo geo pocket color games and systems. The unit sells for $25 dollors there. I think thats a good price.

If you're looking for a cheap alternative to a GBA, it looks mighty good

SNK vs Capcom, Match of the Milennium, is the best portable fighting game there is. Period. I've been playing it since it came out in late 1999 and I still play it.

True it is very good, but i have to say there has been one release to match it. Street Fighter Alpha 3 for GBA. That is some portable goodness right there.
