Following NeoDragon's comment in the collections thread, it does seem that there is a bit of a Euro revival going on around here!

Which is great news obviously!

Especially when most of the old Euro sites that I used to frequent closed ages ago!

Anyone who hasn't checked out Toobar's site should do so!
Even though my grasp of French is very slight, I really enjoyed looking at the site :)

It is strange that this little gem of a handheld is being a bit overlooked in the States?

I can only imagine that a lot of people are gonna really regret not appreciating it, when in a couple of years or so it becomes as collectable as AES!

Shawn should expand this sites coverage of NGPC!
A price guide? History? Background?

Someone needs to feed my obsession with detail and try to research as much information about the pocket as possible!
Dates, production runs, recall loses etc, etc.

I know I'm a freak for detail!


What do you guys all think?


BTW. MOOG
Good Avatar! Almost looks like a Moog! :)

I agree the NGPC is overlooked my most, including a lot of SNK fans. People just need to get hold of one and play for a short while and then they will see! I would certainly like to see more info surfacing on the little gem.

You like my avatar Metal Slug?

I think are little NGPC. is going to be a BIG collectors item in the future which is great but a bit irrelevent as judging by our posts we'd never part with them or our games :)

Yeah, I dont get how some neo collectors aren't interested in NGPC. I mean, it has some games that beat out their MVS/AES counterparts and other unique titles that are just as great.

Thikning about it, my NGPC allows me to play Neo 24/7, and I don't know a collector on earth who wouldn't give his/her right arm for that ;)

That's true! The first 'SNK' brand that I owned is actually an NGPC.
I got my Neo years later, abd yes, NGPC can be played anywhere, anytime!!!
