Nero Geo Pocket Colour

[IainT V6]

Whilst clearing out spare room for my man cave I came across my Neo Geo Pocket Colour - fantastic little handheld back in it's day - did anyone else have one or remember these?



I only had three games:

Pacman
SNK vs Capcom
Turf Masters (golf)

This was back when SNK were churning out top titles and they also had a tie-in with Sega which meant a certain blue hedgehog was available too. I might have to build up my game collection

Yep! Remember buying it at Makro

Had Full Metal Slug and Pac Man

Had one, it was brilliant!

I bought mine with a 10 game bundle from lik-sang (a hong kong based import shop which has since been killed by Sony being dicks about grey imports)

40 hours battery life, the best D-pad in history and puzzle bobble, lots of fun!

YES! I had one in an aqua colour camo type effect, mother bought me one after my gameboy colour broke whilst in Liverpool for a weekend.

I loved it when I first got it, but I had only had Sonic for it, and none of the local shops near me sold any games.

I turned it on a few years ago and the home system part of it still seemed to work, I feel it was ahead of its time with having the home interface bit when there is no game installed, just didn't have enough advertisement behind it unlike Gameboy.

And it only had pretty much SNK and some minor japanese studios behind it, Nothing really big in terms of titles, except for some very nice SNK arcade spin-offs (Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown, KoF)

I remember Marvin sang of said lik-sang. I made a fortune at school selling various PlayStation based stuff I sold at a disgustingly high profit.
Good times, My NeoGeo pocket also came from him.
Run pacific was another great company to get things from.

Now scouring ebay for more games

If anyone has any games they no longer want, I'd be interested!

I found my old flip style Game Boy Advance a few weeks back. Not used it in... Jesus, over 10 years? Probably?

Opened it up and came straight out of hibernation. Had a quick fight on Street Fighter! Is it even possible for a battery to hold a charge for that long?!

Edit; Game Boy Advance SP. Tekken, not Street Fighter.

Not used eBay in about 10-yrs but I'm back with a vengeance - collection grows

I went to a local comic con a few weeks back and was surprised by the retro gaming presence there.

I have a pocket neo geo like yourself OP, and was trying to get some idea of value. I'm a old man now and will never likely revisit so was trying to get some idea of value. I have been pleasantly surprised.

I only have two games with it, Metal slug and King of the Fighters R2. What do reckon is best, flog it all together or break it up?

I also have a watara/quickshot supervision, which seems is a bit of a rare beastie as well.

Nintendo Batteries are made of ground up pixies, i see no other way. Both my GBA Micro and DS would power up flawlessly after spending half a decade in the attic away from a charger. Pure magic!

If games are boxed with instructions then probably best split and sell separately to max income although we're not talking huge sums here - I've been picking up some cartridges from as little as £6.50 on eBay. That said there are some rare items out there with bidding on one game (Cotton) currently c. £175 and rising
