Yeah, they are. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had any interest. Here's the one I got: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180320042058

This seller also has a few more I think.

I really liked SNK vs Capcom Cardfighter's Clash - it was so awesome and different. Pity the DS version is like some unwanted bastard child version...

Just an update, I received my NGPC today and I LOVE IT. The only game I have atm is Sonic Pocket Adventure, but it is by far the best portable Sonic I have ever played. Loads better than the GBA ones, and slightly better than the Game Gear ones.

I own three of these consoles (two of them I obtained through buying lots on ebay for the games included) and one I bought at a thrift shop for $10 dollars in mint condition with the box. I agree with what some posters here have said: most of the library, while small, is solid. Even the casino games, while lacking in visuals, were good for their genre. And yes, the port of Puzzle Bobble on the console was very boring. Anyways, I have Faselei, and it is technically impressive for the console. Though the screen may have not been backlit, it was still easier to see than say, the Wonderswan Color screen.

Although the screen is unlit, it is the easiest to see unlit portable system. The only one that comes close is the Swan Crystal.

Exactly. But what about the original GBA?

Personally, I thought the GBA's screen was bad. I had to sit in a very unique and uncomfortable position in order to see the screen.

Agreed. But I have never been more disappointed with a handheld screen as I was with the Wonderswan Color. I turned it on and was like "Where is the screen? OH WAIT, THERE IT IS! I think." I wonder if the original monochrome unit is clearer. Thankfully, the Crystal improved on most of those issues.

I really loved a lot of the games for the NGPC, but the ones I played the most were Sonic and the Card Fighting games.

Do not touch the DS version though, seriously.

Wish granted!

I know the ones I can't wait to get for my system:

Top of the list:

1. Bio-Motor Unitron
2. Falselei
3. Sonic the Hedgehog: Pocket Adventure
4. Gals Fighters
5. Dark Arms: Beast Busters
6. The Metal Slug missions

I just bought Biomotor Unitron! Had to wait forever for it to show up on eBay

As others have said, both Metal Slug games are great. One game that hasn't been mentioned yet that I used to love is Magical Drop. I regret selling my NGPC and may reacquire it one day...

How do you like it?

Does anybody have a full list of games that don't work on the original B&W Neo Geo Pocket?
