TG16 is win.
EDIT: Not that there's anything wrong with Neo Geo Pocket Color, I totally want one!
odd that you didn't list any reason why tg16 was better. I have both, and while tg16 has a fair number of 'borderline' titles, it only has 3 games that I really want to play (devil's crush, final lap twin, rondo of blood (which I can't play anyway) ), while the overall game quality on a ngp/ngpc is far better. the control experience is also a lot nicer.

if you like fighting games, for example, ngp(c) is probably still the best handheld for that, even with gba's and nomad's titles. A lot of that is thanks to the ngp/c 'thumbstick' which is the best controller I've ever seen on a handheld. it's quick, sturdy, easy on the thumbs and like larger neo geo systems it provides that 'click' that lets you stop worrying if the move's about to go off or not.

don't get me wrong, I'm a diehard GBM fan, but ngpc really has it beat in the fighting department, even considering the primative graphics.
actually if I could find a 'slimline' ngpc, an afterburner internal light kit and one of those ngp flashcarts, I might consider carrying an ngpc on off days.

At my Gamestation, they have NGPC's for 30GBP...

I've not ventured much into consoles, but what is a Neo Geo AVS? Is it like the MVS but smaller and like... a home console? If so, sounds cool, i've never played a Neo Geo ever.

What that exists? Wow i gotta look into that. well actually as it turned out i cant get either unless i can manage to get one for under 35 euros since my 400 bucks i had is now going towards plane tickets so i can go back to atlanta for 3 weeks. Unidentified assilant, the aes is the home console for the neo geo sadly though it costs around 300-400 dollars i believe and the games can sometimes cost the same amount (last hope) but thats just because its the same thing as the mvs just the carts are in different shapes.

How about a Wonderswan Color? They have some great games, and they're going quite cheap on Ebay right now!
