Wasn't too hard to figure out what gae it was considering how amazing it was to me as a youngster. Certainly anyone who owned a neo must have experienced the same that I did as a child. All it took was one search and up poped up "BIOMOTOR UNITRON"! Holy hell was that easy! The android market even had a free emulator and the rom i downloaded (from phone) extracted and started the experience all over again! But i couldn't figure out how to get bigger games with more files to extract working such as samaria showdown. Anyways if someone could help that would be great. In the meantime.... BIOMOTOR !!'!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222357488673126708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253169075025271186.post-28320012199875278092011-10-29T17:52:03.595-07:002011-10-29T17:52:03.595-07:00Well, I'm glad to hear it feels good in your h...Well, I'm glad to hear it feels good in your hands. I don't think the boxiness of the system is a horrible thing, actually. I guess it just looks a bit ... dull? Of course, so does the original GameBoy, and I like that quite a bit. Anyway, I may have to pick one of these up at some point, esp. if they're priced as well as you say they are!Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253169075025271186.post-45946039341039527512011-10-25T04:42:06.321-07:002011-10-25T04:42:06.321-07:00Didn't realise they were that expensive.

Other than that it's quite a nice console if a bit boxy but it's comfortable to use and the joystick is a work of engineering genius.<br /><br />As for acquiring more games, I have pretty much everything I want on it. I'll keep an eye out for games like Neo Poke-kun, Ogre Battle and Magical Drop but I feel I've pretty much got everything I need on the system. <br /><br />I took the pictures using NeoPop, supposedly the best emulator for the NGPC but it was really slow and the sound was terribly. It's a much better experience on the actual hardware.<br /><br />Anyway as I said it's a very easy system to collect for and really cheap, I'd recommend it as an easy system to collect.Retr0gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690223519107108541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253169075025271186.post-88400630567817218212011-10-24T16:08:41.360-07:002011-10-24T16:08:41.360-07:00Ah, yes, the NGPC!

The system design seems a bit disappointing -- kind of like one of those fan-made contraptions -- but not terrible. Anyway, you've piqued my interest in getting one of these for myself at some point. Thanks for that -- and best of luck to you in acquiring more of the system's games :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.com
