Well between the neo geo and the turbografx16. I would go for Turbograx16 but do you also have a Nomad those are pretty awesome. Sega Genesis on thee goooo!

tg16 baby!

I would go with the TG16 +CD or TurboDuo.

Gate of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, Beyond Shadowgate, and Splash Lake. Oh, and Bonk!

yeah i wanted a nomad really badly for awhile but i realised british people are dumb with theyre whole inflation thing so it was difficult to get it without unlimited amounts of cash. same with the turbo duo, though i really want one BAD. does anyone know of a site that sells turbografx16 stuff and ships to europe? btw keep suggestions coming

Yeah i know what ya mean with the Nomad. I saw one that was in perfect condition not even opened out of the box i wanted it soooo badly. Guess what? It was $400 damn dollars! At the time i only had $15 dollars in my pocket so yeah, i still say go for the Turbografx16 Bonk man Bonk.

Get the first ever home game system. The Magnavox Odyssey

a pocket color won't be as inexpensive as the TG16, but I like the games on it a bit better, and when you find them, they usually come with a good number of games. I recommend trying for the 'slimline' ngpc system. also remember that the 'afterburner' internal frontlight mod for the gba would kind of fit--that's if you can still find one.

of them I really recommend 'picture puzzle'--it's kind of a picross type game.
Faselei! should provide a nice turn based strategy fix
Neo Geo Cup '98 is surprisingly deep for a soccer game with stat building items and recruiting
Neo Turf Masters was everything 16-bit golf should be.
Evolution: Eternal Dungeons was a decent rpg
naturally there are a lot of good fighting games, SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium was my favorite.

I did not care much for the metal slug games on that system.

if you do go with a tg16 or turbo express, 'final lap twin' gets ignored more than it should. It's kind of like an adventure/rpg/racer. I couldn't put it down.

ok so i decided to get a neo geo pocket and backlight it. see i wanted to get a turbgrafx but i can find any stuff for it in europe or ebay uk or anywhere. and SS if you were asking bout my sig (which i figure you were since i mentioned it in the topic and im pretty sure you would have noticed danasoft on snightwheels) i just found some pixel art somewhere and got the atari font and mixed them together with mspaint and made it

If you have not allready gotten you're neo geo pocket colour yet I reccomend going to a Game Station. The one near me has loads of 'em on sale for about Â£60 which is more than I'd pay but they have a load of games for them. eBay is you're best bet though if you want it cheap. However the game station ones are in mint condition.

60 pounds?! no thanks. i found one on ebay for like 20 with 2 games and its in good enough condition. also gamesation doesnt exist in spain, well not that i know of. ive realised i kinda want both actually but my priority is the ngpc since i love neo geo so much i feel i owe it to myslef to get a neo geo portable after all the coins ive poured into an mvs. hopefully i can find a turbo at the market on sunday

Why would you get a NGPC when you can get a TG16? If you were talking an actual Neo Geo AES, I'd say get the Neo Geo.

TG16 is win.

EDIT: Not that there's anything wrong with Neo Geo Pocket Color, I totally want one!
