Neo Geo Pocket Color Turned 10 Years Old On 8/06/2009

[triverse]

I am just a little behind on this one (as usual it seems lately) but the Neo Geo Pocket Color turned 10 years old 2 days ago.  Anyone have one, ever want one?  What were your fave games, let us know here!

For those that have no clue what a NGPC is, here is the wiki.

I loved the little system and got a Japanese one even before it was released in Europe simply for Crush Roller, the sequel to the classic arcade game.

Just like it's big brother the NeoGeo Pocket has one of the most impressive quality/crap ratio's ever seen in video game history.

The Dreamcast is another one, but doesn't come quite as close as either NeoGeo's ratio wise.

Possibly the best d-pad ever with the tiny click stick. It's so depressing that no one has licensed the technology behind it so they could put it in a console or handheld.

One of my most played games on the system is without a doubt Capcom VS SNK. The mini games alone were worth the price of the game.

What more could you ask for? A great sonic game, Bust-A-Move, 2 original Metal Slugs, lots of fighters that played like a dream on the click stick, strategic games like Card Fighters Clash and Faselei. Oh and how could I forget Magical Drop.

My best friend has one and they are pretty awesome. The control stick d pad is really cool. If the psp had one of those it would be much better. I am a big fan of Metal Slug and although they weren't as good on the Pocket Color they were still fun. Capcom vs. Snk was my favorite game but I also liked Dark Arms and Evolution. What a shame it did not make it.
