Gentlemen good day .

Just picked up my 1st Neo Geo Pocket and boy am I in love. Why didnt i pick this thing up when I was a kid ? I'm in my 30's now , and appreciate this little handheld so much more for what it was doing when it came out . The thumb-stick is insane . One downfall which everyone complains about is it not being back-lit. I'm currently on the hunt for someone to front-lit mod it for me. So what i did was install a Pocket Emulator on my PSP and no way does it compare to the real thing. Just wanted to throw that out there since I was a huge fan of Emulation at one point. Well here's what i picked up , also have Cap Vs SNK MOTM on its way picked it up from Ebay since NGPC games are hard to come by in my area on CLIST or even online forums. Next thing up on the list will probably be Dark Arms since everyone is raving about it .

They did sell Wormlights, knock-off wormlights call Cow lights and other peripherals to compensate for the back of backlighting.  Even when the frontlight mod is done (usually by sacrificing a GBA SP screen) it still doesn't give an even amount of lighting.

I remember looking for the wormlight. It was way overpriced! The cheapest i found it was $50 loose and way above that for a boxed unit. I gave up that search lol.

I just started playing Dark Arms: Beast Buster 1999, and I frickin' love it! It's got a fairly deep weapon creation system for a handheld and it's super fun. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid NGPC games that's cheap and isn't just a fighting game :D
12 hard black inches of pure fun, the TurboGrafx 16.
