Blaze Pro Light Magnifier
Opinion

This has got to be the worst waste of money I have ever spent. The idea is great, and the light/magnify function works very well - but it's so poorly manufacturered that the joints between the upright and the bit that attaches onto the NGPC are extremely loose. The only way it can be used is on a perfectly flat horizontal surface.

Which sucks...

If you're in the habit of straining your neck over a table (the magnifier has to be viewed straight on) then go ahead and buy one. As for me, I'll maybe think about gluing it so it's solid :)

It's a shame, as this could be a genuinely useful device - if only it wasn't so badly made.

Back of packaging
Opinion

The NGP version of Nyko's Game Boy Wormlight. Which, unfortunately, is pretty useless. The NGP does not give out enough power through the link port to power a light with any sort of reasonable brightness.

As is demonstrated by these pics! Admittedly, the quality is a bit poor (it's a webcam!), but its pretty obvious how dim the light is.

NeoGeo Pocket Link Cable (NEOP-TCU)
Opinion

It's a link cable. It links 2 NeoGeo Pocket's or Pocket Color's (or any other combination) together for versus battles and trading, amongst other things. Very cool if you know someone else with an NGP or NGPC, a bit useless if you don't.

Since most games feature some sort of link option, it's a good investment if you have a use for it.

N eoGeo Pocket AC Adapter (NEOP-ACE)
Opinion

For plugging your unit into the mains. Comes in 2 parts - a standard power lead (in this case its a UK lead), and the adapter box that goes between this cable and the NGP. I'd guess that the power leads are interchangable so picking up a foreign adapter shouldn't pose any risk.

N eoGeo Pocket Linker and Pocket Flash
Opinion

The only mass produced "development" tools for the NGP and NGPC. Made by Bung, of Doctor V64, and GB X-Changer fame, these are of high quality, even if the software provided is completely awful. These units allow you to backup cartridges to ROM files on a PC, and copy the ROMs onto a flash cartridge to play back on an NGP.

There have been a number of Public Domain ROMs produced, and short of an emulator, the Pocket Linker & Flash are the only way you'll be able to experience these games/demos as they should be. Some translation projects are also underway, again these units are the only way of playing the translated games "properly" :)

For more information, please check out the development section.
