I just remembered to check my ngpc serial and its 0419196. Just out of curiosity, is that high, low, or somewhere in between?

My Euro NGPC serial number fell off ages ago but I remember it being 034XXXX.

I can't imagine B&W models went much past 0100000.

My slimline is 0900790, but I have no idea where slimline serials start.

I'd say yours is low to middling joseph, looking at both the run of systems as one, or just looking at the life of the initial NGPC alone.

It looks like these serials are linear, with the NGPs being low numbers and the slimlines being high, are we to assume that this means there was little more than 1 million units produced worldwide.

That’s funny compared to playstations 80million or whatever, how common. ;)

Would I also be right in assuming other than the three distinct models there were no revisions made during the systems life, making the serial numbers fairly irrelevant to 'collectability'?

I forgot to add that my NGPC is a silver one and i dont think its a 'slim' one...it seems pretty chunky and the back isn't smooth when you put the cartridge in....I think Moog said in another thread that the 'slim' one does that.

......I think its cool that they are individually serial numbered. . . . .I've not noticed if my dreamcast or megadrive are.

The NGP (B&W) back surface is flush with the inserted cart, it also used triple a's to keep the machine slimmer.

The slimline is closer to the original NGP in size than the NGPC, but uses AA's so is slightly deeper.

I had an early one, and it had the nasty habit of dropping the clock/date screen data, and resetting to the start up screen.
I sent it back to SNK UK and they told me that it was a problem with SOME of the original NGPCs, they also said that the machine had been revised and in the "newer" ones none had this problem.

This was when SNK UK actually thought there would be a relaunch of the NGPC in the Europe region!
