I really don't know what has come over me. I've recently gone into some retro buying frenzy. I've bought an original Gameboy, a red Gameboy Pocket, a teal Gameboy Color, a Game Gear, and blue Neo Geo Pocket Color. I've also bought games for the systems I've purchased. The Game Gear I ordered itself came with around 11 carts, and the blue Neo Geo came with Sonic Pocket Adventure and SNK vs. Capcom.

As you can see, my new obsession has remained strictly handheld and I don't know why. With the exception of the Neo Geo Pocket color (which is amazing) I don't really play with them. I guess I'm just interested in the old technology. It can't be nostalgia. Apart from the Gameboy Color, I never owned any of these other consoles.

At any rate, I got two new handhelds (plus games) added to my collection.

I'm actually quite shocked at how heavy this thing feels considering its size. This is actually my new favorite Gameboy. It came with Sonic Advanced, but I'm about as interested in Sonic the Hedgehog as I am listening to Republicans on AM radio.

Another Neo Geo Pokcet! I actually bought this because the first one I got wasn't in excellent condition. I mean, it isn't awful, but the small scratches were distracting.

It came with 3 games in their original boxes. They weren't sealed and nor was the the Neo Geo Pocket, but they were all in like-new conditioned with no cosmetic damage at all.

Gameboy Micro?
Match of the Millenium for the NGpocket? That's just awesome.
The Sonic ADvanced trilogy was truly incredible. Only better games on the GBA I can think of are Astro Boy Omega Factor, and Medabots perhaps.
I love my Neo Geo Pocket Color. If we ever meet in real life we're gonna have to play some SvC together.
NG Pocket Color! *drolls* Did you buy it at eBay?

Also, I need to get a GBA Micro ASAP, I reall want to stop using my DS as a second GBA since the games sticking out of it it's kinda distracting.
@Styos: Dude, I'm with you. I hated having those GBA carts stick out. It did take me a while to find a Micro that wasn't horribly overpriced. I got that one from chasethechuckwagon.com for $30. Which is what Gamestop sells them for if you're lucky enough to find one in the store.

And yes I did get the NGPC from Ebay. It was actually reasonably priced considering it and the games came in the box.
its so tiny


thats what she said


about your penis
I hope you tipped your mailman Alex.
He brought the goods today, on a Saturday!!!
very nice. got batteries?
You're officially the only person I know who owns a Game Boy Micro.
The Gameboy Micro is amazing I've actually found one in one of the stores I worked at last year . It was lonely and lost in the backstore :(... I took it home. I HAD TO !!

I really need to get a NeogeoPocket My Capcom VS SNK Millenium match doesn't have a mate!

Great additions!
Nice haul :)
The Game Boy Micro is surprisingly awesome. I picked up one of the limited "20th Anniversary" Micros a few years back (it looks just like a Famicom controller, with a shiny gold faceplate), and I love both its portability and feel. The only downside is that action-heavy games that require constant use of the L/R buttons can be a little uncomfortable, but it handles most games admirably.

Also, I might as well brag that I also have the "Controller II" faceplate for it, which has a fake volume slider and microphone printed on it and the number II instead of I. Apparently that's kind of rare and was only released through Japan's Club Nintendo.
@Qraze: Plenty.
The Neo Geo pocket is brilliant. It had the perfect controller for a handheld. I want a handheld with the power of a NeoGeo, the NGPC stick and 4 face buttons. Port Neo games over to it and I'd be content forever with the device.
HEY! I like AM radio. This guy's a jerk.
