The NeoGeo
Pocket,
and its color incarnation,
represent SNK's take on the whole portable gaming
craze . . the NGPC is far and away the better
of the two, with more titles and better ones
at that. So far the problem
with the system has not been the quality of the games,
as almost ALL are worth playing and Metal
Slug 1st mission in particular picked up awards
as best portable game of the
year from several gaming mags . . What's questionable
is the quantity of games, and whether development
will continue into the future. Certainly, 3rd
party contributions have been lacking, as all
the quality titles are coming from SNK themselves
. . but with Nintendo's "gameboy advanced"
being readied for action, SNK's
lil puppy looks like it'll remain only
a niche handheld among fighting
& SNK enthusiasts . . |

| Emulation
of the system is still lacking sound at this point
. . the first
NGPC emu that came out was crippled shareware
released by a Japanese programmer
who wanted 500 yen ($5) . . . that didn't sit too
well for most people, primarily because contacting him was
difficult and no one wanted to send the yen to Japan . .
. next, a FAR better emu came out,
with support for more games including Sonic, but
the name of the emulator - RAPE? (standing for Rather
a Pokemon Emulator?) caused quite a fuss . . check
out our EPISODE on that (click here) . . anyways,
development for RAPE? seemingly died with a letter sent
by Nintendo to the authors . . the
Big N thought RAPE? was a gameboy emu, and was thus its
usually pissy, legally threatening self . . . what
progress will be made in emulating the system remains to
be seen. |

The
only non-crippled shareware NGPC emu out there currently,
RAPE? - besides being controversially named - has
great compatibility, control, and runs in win2k
. . . main thing it's lacking is sound, otherwise
a great emulator and your only real choice . .
