I just bought a Neo Geo....I think I'm evil.

I just bought a Neo Geo Pocket Color from a guy off craigslist.org for $30. This included the original system, plus a game, both with original boxes and manuals. This is also an original Japanese system, and it's been played so little it still has the original working Japanese batteries. The game is a fairly uncommon Japanese only release.

Just a little history:

The Neo Geo Pocket Color (or NGPC) was released in 1998 in Japan. It was a 16-bit color hand held game console designed by SNK, the makers of the Neo Geo home console and arcade machine. It came after SNK's original Neo Geo Pocket monochrome handheld, which debuted in 1998 in Japan (and was released in the USA in 1999). The U.S. version of the Neo Geo Pocket Color had an exclusive launch on the website eToys in 1999. eToys also sold the initial launch titles in the preferred plastic snap lock cases.

I'm sooooo addicted to this little outdated thing because I love the SNK arcade games, I've been looking into getting one of the console system (AME or whatever) and they're NOT cheap. Looking at about $300 for a system that plays the exact games that were in the arcades, but they're $150+ a pop just because they're so rare.

Help?

The pocket is still a great system
had some decent fighters and rpg's

Hehe as for the AES console
unless your a hardcore collector don't bother

Some games are under 50 but new ones and some older titles are easily 300+ each with some going over 1000

Not trying to say it isn't a great system
When I collected games/systems my AES was one of the best I had and made me alot of money when I sold it all

I was able to get Megal Slug 1st and 2nd Mission for fairly cheap, I think an RPG would be better for trips and train rides and the like.
