About ten years ago, I was working at a Gamestop and was excited about our store getting some Neo Geo Pocket stuff in. I had blown all my money on getting a Dreamcast, but scraped some money together to buy the system and some games off a friend(who kept things in pristine shape). Over the years, I passively sought out boxed complete games locally, and bought several from pawn shops, game conventions, and thrift stores. I finally came down to a handful in which I finally broke down and found off of ebay. Needless to say, after over ten years, I finally completed my 14th US collection. I have always loved the system, and look forward to giving some newly acquired games some game time. Here are the pic/video:

Very nice, congrats! And on a system where most of the stuff is worth playing, too! :D

Congratulations. :) It's the only collection I've kinda, sort of completed. I really should get off my ass about the last bits and pieces I need.

Are you going to look into imports at all? I'm definitely staying away from collecting all of the Japanese releases, but after getting all of the US releases, I did pick up Neo Ganbare Poke-kun. It's mildly frustrating that the Japanese cardboard boxes are slightly larger than the US boxes (and don't open in the same nice way).

Awesome collection man!
The Neo Geo Pocket is such a great handheld. It has so many great and unique games like Card Fighters, Faselei, and Match of the Millennium!

To say I'm not envious would be a lie.
