Am I right in thinking the screens aren't backlit? If so how are they to play in evenings etc? Under a lamp like the old gameboy days?

Sadly no back lights, but you can apparently mod the gba front lit screen into one... Under a lamp or sunlight it's pretty sweet still

Wow now that's a neo Geo pocket collection, must be some money there with games like cotton etc

Cheers!

Took me years to get them, would be too expensive now. I got very lucky picking some up as clearance type items on amazon.

Do love the font they use on the Japanese one's for color on the front, little more fun than the standard uk one. Is cotton good fun to play? (ignoring how much it costs at the moment)

Read a rumour that most the carts are multi language and it picks up based on the systems settings, is this actually true or being hopeful the main Neo Geo system's trait carries into the hand held?

Cotton is Cotton really, cute shootem up with witch on broom. I got it on x68000 too. I’m fairly sure the japanese only releases are in japanese.

Thanks, I bought the Pocket Colour and Sonic and Card Fighters Clash from Gamestation when they used to do Retro Stuff and obviously before they closed lol

vanpeebles · 28 Sep 2018 at 18:52

I reckon Card Fighters Clash and MOTM are my most played pocket games, followed maybe by KoF R2 and Turf Masters.

pingwing · 28 Sep 2018 at 19:32

I need to get a lot better at MOTM FAST! KoF and Turf masters are on the list of things to find as a mate picked them up recently as a pair for 14 quid and we're aiming to have most the multiplayer games on the platform between us, makes that link cable worth wile!

Started playing puyo pop this week and am finding it a tough learning curve, it's not as simple as Tetris or Columns from back in the day by any means

vanpeebles · 28 Sep 2018 at 19:50

I liked all the mini games too, for such a tiny cart, it was jam packed with goodness.

lakitu · 28 Sep 2018 at 23:02

Has anyone played Faselei! I've been playing it this week and really enjoying it.

vanpeebles · 28 Sep 2018 at 23:11

Yeah, love the tile based moves.

It’s a game I’ve been looking out for, is it worth the 20 odd quid it’s going for??

elh_2009 · 29 Sep 2018 at 19:46

Ive been keeping an eye onf Faselei as well and am wondering the same

vanpeebles · 29 Sep 2018 at 20:55

Who doesn't like mechs with an rpg twist?

lakitu · 30 Sep 2018 at 12:54

Yeah I'd never heard of it before but it's a really fun game! Love the NGP, shame they didn't release more titles.

elh_2009 · 15 Oct 2018 at 08:55
