    Default NeoGeo Pocket Color

    I've been really interested in picking one of these up lately because I've heard quite a few good things about them.

    Can anyone suggest somewhere I can pick it up for a reasonable price?
    I know I can get one off eBay for a decent price, but eBay is more hassle than it's worth to me. (Too many snipers, argh.)

    I'd also be interested in some suggestions of good games.

    Thanks.

    Look online for the system, the easiest way to find one. They're not too pricey too, and likely it'll come with a few games (when they were being phased out they were packaged with a handful of games, like Faselei and Bust-a-Move Pocket), if in that package probably about sixty bucks or so. Now, to the games.

    -Cardfighters Clash (one of the best RPGs I've played, and definately the best card-playing game on a console ever)
    -SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millenium (best fighting game on the system, probably the best portable fighting game ever)
    -King of Fighters R-2 (great fighter)
    -Metal Slug (any of them)
    -Puzzle Bobble Mini / Bust-a-Move Pocket
    -Pocket Tennis Color

    There are more, don't want to take ALL of the suggestions from everybody.

    Great, thanks.

    I have heard of some of the games, but not so much of the others.

    No worries, bud. The great thing about the NGPC is that the library actually is chock-full of GREAT games, only a few serious stinkers (and even they aren't typically THAT bad). Awesome handheld.

    It's also fairly easy to get a complete library for, right?

    Are there any games that go for over 40$?

    Over £20? Yep, quite a few.

    Gals Fighters and Last Blade were the last two games I wanted; they're a bit elusive and cost me way over £20 each.

    Evolution goes for lots on eBay, I've seen it at about £70. And then there's Pocket Reversi.

    I'm talking UK released clamshell games though. US cardboard case games are probably a different matter.

    For US games, no. Most US games should be had for less than $30, I'd say you could get every game for that price if you were patient. As far as European and Japanese games go, there are a fair amount over that price point.

    As far as finding a NGPC, besides ebay, I would suggest posting a WTB thread in the Buying & selling forum here.
