SNK NeoGeo

What let the Neo Geo down in a big way was it's price. And I'd bet that SNK is kicking itself right now, if it had knew how much the video gaming industry had grown. Nevertheless, the Neo Geo found itself a niche market, with those who had the money, a more 'adult' gamer, and those who simply wanted to keep up with technology. The SNK system was far, far ahead of it's competitors at the time, which were the Super Nes and Sega's Megadrive. However the SNK's price stategy let it down big time.

I think this is about the SNK Neo Geo Pocket? :-) Right, well Ive got one of the pale blue ones - they didnt have cammouflage blue when I went to the shops :-((( They're ace! Well worth buying.

It arrived last year and was dubbed by Special Reserve ... more

I recieved a NEO GEO POCKET COLOUR for my birthday in March and have been stuck on it since. It has outstanding colour and graphics for a console its size and great sound too. Many of the games are identical to the Mega Drive but considering the size and weight the Neo Geo Pocket Colour comes out above the mega drive any day. I currently own all three game boys, All three Nintendos, a playstation, dreamcast and game gear so I know a good console when I see one. This is a must buy and an essential for travelling or long journeys. ... more
