Advertising is an important aspect in today's market of world video-gaming, so is timing. Of course you've got to have a good piece of kit to sell, but without the first two you're more or less guaranteed failure. You see, the Neo Geo PC (pocket colour) was a very powerful little machine that had some great games - if only a few. And it should of beaten the GBC - or at least rivalled it, after all it did have about 10 times the graphics power and memory, but the public refused it, and so the only way to get games for it is through import. It arrived last year and was dubbed by Special Reserve as 'this year's must have' but no-one cared, or at least bothered to care, they all had GameBoy's or GBCs and a good games collection, so the Neo Geo was always going to have an uphill struggle - to convert nearly 20 milllion UK gameboy owners to a relatively unheard of machine is impossible. And so the demise of the super handheld was here.
A great shame, but if you still want games then check out import sites

Probably now in tears over his "little" problem, he now has no feelings or time for any person, expect himself, and his pity.

Yes, your point do I see, but the Gameboy is half price compared to consoles indeed, to get the big picture, include consoles in the mixture, the overall view, with the PC in too, is that handhelds are about 10%, that just don' pay the rent, the consoles are bigger, no hand held trigger, but I thought I'd just rap, because I like talking....never mind.

Fant Mast - the handheld market is probably the largest of all - the GB has sold double the no of PS and the games are always near the top of charts - take Pokemon for e.g.

The neo-geo had a big problem: The 3D stick!

People were complaining a lot because it was ment to fit in your pocket but the stick kept on breaking! This was bad designing by the makers of neo-geo!

That's why the GBA has stuck with the D-pad
