Neo Mystery Bonus Review

Looking for a game that you can play with one hand?

Looking for a game that you can play with one hand? Did you accidentally break the control stick on your Neo Geo Pocket, and now you can only use the buttons? Well, then Neo Mystery Bonus is right up your alley! Yes, for only $29.95, you too can turn your portable gaming powerhouse into a one of the most inane slot machine simulations ever created.

Here's how it works. You press the A button, the reels spin, and depending your preference, either stop on their own or wait for you to push the A button a few more times to stop. Sometimes you'll win, in which case you can attempt to double your money by playing a little high-low bonus game. Sometimes you'll lose, and have to hit A some more.

If this was a collection of casino games, or even a collection of different slot machines, it might be slightly interesting. But by itself, Mystery Bonus is utterly pointless, and doesn't require any skill, save the skill it takes to occasionally press the A button to keep the pretty pictures flashing and moving.
