Neo Geo Pocket Color - Features

Features

The Neo Geo Pocket Color is built very similarly to its predecessor, the Neo Geo Pocket, sporting two face buttons on the right hand side of the system, and an eight-directional digital joystick on the left. It is designed to be held horizontally (as opposed to the Game Boy's vertical setup) and features a full colour screen in the center of the unit.

Like the Game Boy and subsequent Game Boy Advance consoles, the Neo Geo Pocket Color's screen is not back-lit, so games can only be seen in a well lit area. The Neo Geo Pocket Color is unusual in that it requires two sets of batteries - two AA batteries for the system itself, and an optional CR2032 battery to retain backup memory and keep the clock active.

As well as a clock and calendar system the Neo Geo Pocket Color has several other features such as generated horoscopes and an alarm system.
