For the Neo Geo Pocket color this one is pretty good. It’s rather dark for anything I have seen for the hand held from that era. “Dark Arms - Beast Buster”

Pretty cool mechanic for powering up and leveling up your weapons. So it would be a Action RPG game. I think a reboot would be fine for this one.

Any of the DOS games from the shareware era. Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, Jill of the Jungle, Xargon, Hocus Pocus etc.

They are a nice breath of fresh air from the non-proprietary games ported to all the other computer platforms.

Tragically hidden now that we have the worlds entire game library at our disposal. :grin:

@Joystick2600 do you have more cheats for the Neo Geo Pocket/Color Games?

Not yet, I ended up doing some for PSP. The only one I did for Neo Geo Pocket Color is that “Dark Arms - Beast Buster” game. I might work on some at a later time and link the whole cheat folder too.

update/edit: @DaveTheMan1985 I’ve added Metal Slug 1st,2nd Mission to Neo Geo Pocket Color Libretro Froum Link to cheat post

Thanks Mate.

Also just wondering where you found the Codes from?

It can be tricky and time consuming but you can search for cheats in Retroarch/Lakka OS. I just happen to use that feature from Retroarch & Lakka OS to find the cheats from trial and error. It falls into the category of Retroarch Handled cheats. You can find the documentation here.

Thank you for the list! I’ll definitely try Joe & Mac as well as Demon Front. Those look fantastic!

I’ve used the code search function. It’s not perfect but it can help. There are also some tutorial videos you can view on the Odysee channel of @Linux_Gaming for some insight. There are more than one video on cheat code searching there.

I do not have the time anymore for this sort of thing.

The Ganbare Goemon series. We only got one for the SNES back in the 90’s that was localized, and likely censored in some way.

Ganbare Goemon 3 - Shishi Juuroku Hyoue no Karakuri Manjigatame

Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Douchuu - Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Riyuu

There are still fan translations going on for retro games that are worth checking out.

“Castlevania the adventure - rebirth” on Wiiware, i think this is a remake of a failed and crappy gameboy castlevania? Playing on standalone dolphin here on a Snapdragon 865 phone and gamepad. Awesome game, very polished. Looks like something you would play on a Sega Saturn or so.

Nice. Castlevania is one of my favorite series of all time I love everything about it even the Gameboy games. Well maybe with the exception of Lords of Shadow and that cheesy Netflix series, don’t really care for those.

I even have a playlist dedicated strictly to Castlevania music with over 1000 songs so you know it’s real lol.
