Neo Geo Pocket
Protective Case
NCS has taken delivery of protective plastic cases for the NGP Color.
The fit is a bit tight but you'll be able to slip your NGP into the case and play it in a
protected state. An annoying feature of portable handhelds is the amount of dust that the
screen can attract, this new case solves that problem. Retail stands at US$8.00
and the case is now available on our on-line store. |

Neo Geo Freak /
Gamest
The May issues of Freak
and Gamest are now in stock and
will ship to subscriptions today. Both magazines offer a first look at SNK's new wrestling
game called Buriki One. New issue orders are welcome. |

Posters
Three fairly recent posters are available for orders. Due to some
problems that we have experienced in the past couple of poster offers, we will only use
UPS Ground shipping this time around. There were a number of tubes that were lost and we
had no way to track the them with the Postal Service. The change to UPS shipping will
raise the price of each poster order to $10, which covers the tube, poster and UPS Ground
shipping. |

Yen Equilibrium
/ 08:11AM
Our trade position remains the same and the forex has moved slightly
in our favor. It'll likely stay in this position until the FOMC meeting. We're confident
that we'll come out of this ahead but we are being squeezed right now. Not a good
feeling... |

Magazine Archives
NCS keeps a large collection of import magazines such as Saturn Fan,
Playstation Magazine, Gamest and many others in storage. It's grown to a point where the
total weight of the magazines is measured in tonnage. Unfortunately, while we would like
to keep most of the issues into perpetuity, we have been adding large amounts of new
magazines and mooks to our private collection of periodicals. Space is in want and the
logic of keeping 15-20 issues of the same magazine may be flawed. We are compiling a
complete listing of what we have and each magazine's contents which we post for sale at a
set amount of $6 per issue. For example, the first coverage of Sakura Taisen 1 shold be
interesting to look back at. The first looks at Tekken for the early Playstation back in
1995 may prove historical... We should have the archive listing ready by next week.

Capital Markets
/ 10:32AM
We went back into the long SPH contract in the last session but we're
cautious with tight stops. Bias is still on the buy side but techs are weak this morning
after yesterday's late day rally. Our CMGI put play is now above parity but we bought back
the AMZN puts since it will likely not rally back to $170 this week and we wanted to cap
the damage. We'll look to write June contracts on AMZN later this week if we can get it at
the money around $120. |
