Games that hooked you to the NGPC

[xsq]

so having such a great port on the go was amazing at the time.

It was no port... it was specifically made for the NGPC and (afaik) never released on another platform.

Spoiler:

I had quite a few games, but have sold them all, i would say baseball stars and neo turf masters are really good games. I have put many hours into these games.
Didn't like the metal slug series though, poor ports.

Card Fighters Clash was it for me. IIRC, I bought the game when I saw it used at a shop even before I owned the actual console.

I also liked Biomotor Unitron and Faselei! quite a bit!

The pad was too clicky to play fighting games in class.

Hah Hah! This may be the first (understandable) negative review of the clicky stick I've ever seen.

EDIT: By the way, since there's a fair bit of Cardfighters' Clash love here, I maybe should plug the iOS/Android game that I just launched. Trouble With Robots (iOS: http://itunes.apple.com/app/trouble-with-robots/id849799076?mt=8) is a collectibe card game with real-time battles. Check it out. It's free to download!

The levels are actually based on ones from the negative games, so it's basically a port with a few tweaks.

Negative? That was supposed to say megadrive.

The zones are the same but the actual level design is totally different. It's not a port at all, it's just an original game set in the same zones as Sonic 2.

It's like saying Sonic the Hedgehog on Genesis is the same game as Sonic the Hedgehog on SMS/GG.

Sonic on the MD and Sonic on the SMS/GG are two completely different games. They're brand new levels, not the megadrive levels compressed. The NGPC version is like a best of compilation of levels. The level designs are the same, but tweaked for the handheld. With some from Sonic 1 as well and music from Sonic 3.

While 'port' is maybe not the right term, nothing in it is brand new or original.

This is wrong too, the level designs are the same. Anyone who is familiar with Sonic 2 will instantly recognise the levels.

Neo turf masters all the way. Played the crap out that thing!

I bought a NGPC for Match of the Millennium. Who knew it'd end up being better than SVC Chaos...

I had high hopes that SVC Chaos was gonna be just like Match of the Millennium when it came out

Solid golf cart.

 

[Mrmyers]

Another for neo turf masters here

I still win.

I never played any NGPC games before but I bought one with Neo Turf Masters and I have to admit I'm enjoying it a lot!

Next one to be bought and played will be Metal Slug 1 or 2

 

[JLZ]

When I first got my NGPC, I spent most of my time on Samurai Shodown 2. I never really got on with the MVS SS games, but sunk a lot of time into the NGPC one. I think the music is really excellent.

Now I really only power it up from time to time for MOTM and Last Blade.

 

[Turbogfx]

For me this game would have to be Neo Turf Masters.
It's just great fun, best NGPC game that I own.

I also feel that the putting difficulty is more forgiving, and you don't hit the trees as easily as in the home console version of the game.
Just a great game to hang back an relax in the couch.

I could say the same thing about Baseball Stars Pocket Color.

 

[ShootTheCore]

Card Fighters Clash is my most-played game by far, although Sonic and the Metal Slugs get plenty of playtime as well.

 

[F4U57]

Definitely Faselei!

Great, fun and challenging game. The story was excellent too.

 

[GregN]

Just the name Neo Geo was enough.

Sonic Pocket Adventure for me. At the time I was trying to complete a Sonic collection and bought a NGPC Sonic combo pack of amazon for cheap. Loved the game then started scooping up other games.
