I'm leaning a bit towards the Neo-Geo Pocket Color, but still not exactly sure what to do. Basically it's like this, I want to collect for GameBoy Advance, but the Neo-Geo also seems like a very interesting system with a great selection of games! So I'm very mixed up with all this and want to know of any good handhelds out there, and out of these two I mentioned, which I should collect. If you can help would be very apprieciated!

It really is, probably some where around 1000 games if I can remember correctly. There are a lot to choose from. The Game Gear isn't too bad, but it's not really solid in the killer app department. There aren't a ton of great games for it but it's still a fun system to collect for. Getting boxed games for the system is really tough to do now.

Gamestop is now selling them really cheap. Plus this is backwards compatible to play the Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. I want to get a PSP, but I got a DS and I am enjoying that right now.
