Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure

One of the better 2d Sonic games

Game no: 479
Genre: Action 
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999

This game is basically an original game but it has elements of Sonic 2 in it. So the stages are new but the music is from Sonic 2. As well as the gameplay. A Sonic game is basically you going to point A to point B and fight some bosses after the end of act 2. The game is fun as a sonic game should be and as the last game of the neo geo pocket color I give this game a A rank

SNK vs Capcom - The Match of the Millennium

The Final Neo Geo fighting game and it is one of the best

Game no: 477
Genre: Fighting
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999


Basically is the crossover that we wanted and we got. This game is deep and amazing. It has a rich story where both bosses from Capcom and SNK are trying to stop our heroes. The final boss is also super hard which is always the way of this types of games. I can say for two buttons you can do all the moves and specials which is a real feat of this small machine. This is a must play for any Neo Geo Pocket owners. I give this game an A-Rank

SNK Gals' Fighters

I think by this time they just recycle the sprites 

Game no: 476
Genre: Fighting
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 2000

This game was release at the end of the Neo Geo Pocket life cycle and I think they want something to be made fast since this game is just all the girls from different fighting games. The art is the same as their respected game series (Fatal Fury, KOF, Samurai Showdown) and they have the same tight fighting controls. There is a story and it quite interesting. Overall fighting games on the NGP is always a win. A-Rank

Samurai Showdown 2

SNK does make great fighting games

Game no: 475
Genre: Fighting
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999

A pocket version of Samurai Showdown. What amaze me is that how they manage to make it deep with only 2 buttons and a very limited pixel count. All the combos are there as well as the super move. The story is so so in my book but the gameplay is fun. I give this game a A Rank. 

Puyo Pop

 Man this game is hard

Genre: Puzzle
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999

The famous puyo pop game in pocket form. There is a story behind this game but it not that interesting. The thing is that this game is fun but if you play the campaign mode it get super hard after the third round and you can finish it no matter how much you try. I think is that controls of the Neo Geo Pocket is not that intuitive. I didn't finish it so I give it a C Rank.  

Pocket Tennis Color

 A simple tennis game 

Game no: 474
Genre: Sports
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999

This is a simple game where you basically play tennis and try to swing the ball to other opponent. There are a tons of characters to choose from and it controls well. Really there is nothing much to say but this game deserve to be a B Rank for me. I finish he game until I beat the first player. This game really have no depth

The Last Blade: The Lost Destiny

The pocket is really meant for fighting games

Game no: 470
Genre: Fighting 
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 2000


This is a weapons fighter where most of the characters have some sort of projectile weapons (one us a shaolin monk and the other uses turtles as projectiles). The combo system is deep and you can counter their attack if timed right. The points that you get can be used to buy artwork and video endings. For a pocket title this is one of the deep ones. I like it. I give it an
A-Rank.

King of Fighters R-2

The pocket is great for fighting games

Game no: 469
Genre: Fighting 
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999

Awesome gameplay but this time you can play as 3 people this time. The combos and moves are the same with just two buttons. But the background is a bit bland. I enjoy it. So I give it a B-Rank.

Fatal Fury F-Contact

Sprite based combat as it best 

Game no: 468
Genre: Fighting 
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999

It turns out that a handheld machine can have a deep fighting game with just two buttons. This game is a just Fatal Fury but in a pocket mode. The colors and most one color but it still looks as detail as possible. You can do the same combos. I really enjoyed this game so I am giving this an A-Rank. Great pocket game 

Bust-A-Move Pocket

A cute pocket game 

Game no: 467
Genre: Puzzle
Platform: Neo Geo Pocket
Release Date: 1999

The normal bubble game in a pocket form. The stages are short and you can finish it in less than 30 seconds. There are 100 stages. Once you finish the stage it will saved in the game. Very straightforward. B-Rank
