Warning Screens

Neo Geo Pocket Color
"WARNING! This game is not compatible with this system"

Many Game Boy Color, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and WonderSwan Color games were designed to play exclusively on their newer colored-screen handheld revisions, and not on their original monochromatic systems. This resulted in some interesting warning screens programmed in for when you popped in a Color game in an incompatible monochromatic portable. Most games will just give out a plain generic message, while others would show nice artwork letting you know the game is incompatible with the system.

I realized that there wasn't any place on the ol' Internet to find all of these often overlooked pieces of game screenshot trivia. So, inspired in one part by Super PC Engine Grafx Warning Warehouse and in another part by the guys from the Hardcore Gaming 101 Forums, I decided to take it upon myself to snap'em all!

In my quest, I found that most of the Game Boy Color warning screens are mostly bland, with a few gems here and there. Additionally, the WonderSwan Color warning screens are even worse. They are mostly uninspired generic messages, included here purely for completeness purposes.
However, the Neo Geo Pocket Color, while having a short list of games, has the best and most adorable warning screens with SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium. Each screen has a specific message for every time you put in the game (up to 12 times), the western versions stick with a generic message, but they at least retain the excellent artwork.

As far as as I know, these are all the warning messages for these three portables. -ReyVGM
