SNK AC Adapter Review

You get what you see.
This product is a perfect example of getting what you see.
What does it do exactly? You plug one end into your power outlet, and the other end into your NeoGeo Pocket Color, and you can play without using a battery.
It works like a charm and has a long cable, but the problem is that the system can run for 40 hours on batteries, which is a lot of playing.
I like this product because I don't usually go places and I don't want to have to buy batteries every few months or so.

Well...it's an AC adapter...and it's first-party
Like I said in my title, it's an ACadapter, and it's first-party, meaning you don't have to worry about it screwing up your NGPC. And to the guy who said that this takes away all the portability, ever think people play their NGPC at home or in a place with a free outlet? Why wast batteries when you don't have to? And then when you want to leave, just unplug it! Please, think before you review.

The right choice
A previous reviewer said the Game Boy's adapter was compatible and would cost less. Game Boys use three times as much power as NGPCs, though, so using the wrong adapter means risking burning out the unit. Always get the manufacturer's model and avoid universal solutions when you're dealing with power sources, or at least check yourself to make sure the power rating printed on the unit matches the source exactly. Besides, this one's nicer than the other AC adapter designs because the transformer block is in the middle of the cord instead of at the contacts, meaning you don't have to make any extra room for it in the wall socket -- it'll plug in like a regular two-pronged power cord.

The adaptor works fine
I've owned the adaptor since the system was released in the U.S. a couple of years ago, and it works just fine. It's an AC adaptor, not much to get wrong there. If you don't want it, don't buy it...but don't be scared off by that bizarre anti-AC adaptor rant.

You've got to be kidding me!?!?!
By using an A/C Adapter with ANY type of hand-held system, you are virtually taking the word "portable" out of "portable video gamimg systems" such as Neo Geo Pocket Color, Game Boy Advance, etc. In this day and age, who in the world wants to be connected to an wall-socket while playing video games? Or, worse than that, plug this A/C Adapter into an extension cord, then plug the extension cord to the wall outlet ... what a mess! You're better off spending your money on any of the new-wave "high-tech" batteries on the market today, such as Duracell's "Ultra" or Energizer's "E2 Titanium", both proven to last longer in high-tech devices. Better yet, go purchase the "3-in-1 Worm Light" for Neo Geo Pocket Color...which includes a re-chargeable battery pack w/charger.
