A far cry from the days of Magician Lord, the Metal Slug series was known for its lush environments, creative sprites and screen-filling assets. The problem then became that out of all of the Neo Geo games, Metal Slug was one of the most graphically intense. As such, when the Neo Geo Pocket Color was released three years later, there was no question that it needed to launch with a Metal Slug title. Even though it debuted in 1996 - a full six years after the console debuted - Metal Slug quickly became representative of the brand. Outside of the fighters, nothing better epitomizes the Neo Geo brand than Metal Slug. As the majority of its library can be picked up loose for under ten bucks on eBay, Pocket Power (using only original hardware/software) is devoted to guiding new and old NGPC collectors alike before prices rise and availability lowers thanks to nostalgia-hungry collectors. Much like its arcade/home brothers, Neo Geo Pocket Color games have aged incredibly well for a fourteen-year-old handheld system. While largely ignored on its original release, gamers have since picked up the handheld console and begun to experience the unique features it has to offer - and for good reason. Coming out in the wake of the Game Boy Color and only two years before the Game Boy Advance, it’s no secret why the Neo Geo Pocket Color enjoyed limited success in America.
