NeoGeo Pocket Color

SNK reveal attractive price, plus 14 launch titles

As of October 1 there will be some healthy competition for Nintendo in the handheld market with the launch of SNK's NeoGeo Pocket Color. This splendid little 16bit box of joy will sell for Ł59.99, 10 quid less than expected, as a result of the recent N64/PlayStation price drop. But what are you going to play on it? Take your pick from these impressive launch titles (all Ł24.99):

NeoGeo Cup Plus

Turf Masters

Bio Motor Unitron

Pac-Man

Pocket Tennis

Metal Slug

King of Fighters R2

Puzzle Bobble Mini

Crush Roller

Fatal Fury: First Contact

Samurai Showdown

Dragon's Wild

Cherry Master

Mystery Bonus

Not bad, eh? We've played most of them and heartily recommend Puzzle Bobble Mini, Metal Slug and King of Fighters R2. And how about the perfect arcade conversion of Pac-Man? Sweet. Don't worry if you can't afford a game straight away as the NeoGeo Pocket Color has loads of neat little features to fiddle around with - there's an alarm clock, world times, a calendar and a clever little horoscope program. Did we mention that some games are compatible with Sega's Dreamcast? No? Well they are. Not bad for 60 quid.
