lol yeah more or less the same thing for me i bought mine a little earlier though i wanted to play sonic and metal slug. at this time i was only 14-15 so i couldnt really afford many games for it and ended up with MS2 and sonic. I got so much enjoyment out of it, but when i read in a dreamcast magazine that the NGPC was being discontinued i panicked and traded the whole lot in ( back then of course without ebay whenever you think somethings being discontinued you try to getrid of it before it isn't worth anythin <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" /> ) i traded the whole lot in for £45.
when i was 16 i discovered ebay and saw the manic prices the NGP stuff was going for. i traded in my MS2 for £10. oh dear.
it wasnt until i played some SNK fighters on the dreamcast that my interest in the neo pocket was rekindled. i was sure id seen these characters on thatlittle handheld i had a few yearsback!!!
i rebought a system earlier this year and was glad i did i missed out on greatgames like cardfighters' ,MOTM and neo turfmasters, and im sure theres plenty of more greatgame to come.
