Neo Geo Pocket



"Get pocket power!"

NGPC Backwards Compatibility
The Neo Geo Pocket Color is entirely backwards compatible with Neo Geo Pocket games, but most people don't realize that if you REALLY can't get your hands on a NGPC, the Neo Geo Pocket could play ALMOST any color game, just not in color. A few exceptions, like Match of the Millennium, actually had some hidden pictures or other silly little extras if you tried a reversal play. You shouldn't worry though, as the NGP was actually a failure, released only in Japan and dropping out of the market in under a year. As it was quickly replaced by its Color version, only 10 games were released expressly for the original Pocket, and most got superior color re-releases or sequels, so you can pretty much ignore anything that isn't the Color unless you are interested in collecting for the system.

You can also hook up your NGPC to a Dreamcast for other goodies, but the cable isn't typically a cheap buy, so good luck with that.
