Not sure this counts as classic or not, but I think it's close enough.

Lately I've been investigating this console more and more, and I'm finding it to be very much to my liking. I always felt that arcade gaming was where the real fun was, but I never did enjoy paying endlessly for it. The Neo Geo home console is based on the exact same hardware as the Neo Geo MVS arcade boards, meaning you can get true arcade games at home. Not some lame port that doesn't do the game justice.

Thus far I've only been able to experience this console through emulation, and a few times in the past that I've played it in an actual arcade. but I'm loving this machine. all of those great arcade games can be played at home. Metal Slug, Karnov's Revenge, etc.

If anyone has one of these home consoles, or even the arcade cabinet please reply in this thread with how you feel about it, state some of the best games for the platform, or some of the worst. show a downfall for this system (other than the cost :P) because as of now, I see none.

I was playing a Neo Geo game last night with anther German in it. it was called WindJammers, and seriously, as lame as you might think a frisbee game could be, that game ROCKS! I played it for probably about an hour with a friend, it's simple to pick up and play. but you have to be fast to be good at it. It's really just a fancy Pong kind of game, but I had some real fun playing it.

Sorry, but I felt that picture deserved another posting! :D

I remember wanting a Neo-Geo so bad I could taste it! Price was the biggest issue, but the quality for back then was out of this world for home consoles.

I was pretty much stuck to playing the games in the arcade, like most people. The game that I remember the best was called Magician Lord, I believe. I remember being blown away by the graphics, and it was pretty fun, too!

It's a pity the system and games were so much. It was really cool.

I just can't help but post this...

Uh... anyway. I always wanted to experience the Neo*Geo, but I don't think it was ever available where I lived, nor could I ever afford it anyway.

I remember playing one of those SNK Neo*Geo arcade systems at the time though. It had a really cool-looking (at the time) 3-D bowling game and 'Magician Lord' (which I was also blown away by).

aes is a great system as is the cdz the cd is way slow. but man the games are one and the same as the arcade machines sadly its always been steep in price and not often found in the wild :cry: but should be a piece that all collectors should appreciate 8)

Neo Geo always bugged me. Sacreligious as it might sound, it's gaming library always seemed a little empty, and most of it's games seemed to be pretty much standard titles bolstered by using insane amounts of memory.

Plain Jamma has a lot more interesting games.

Metal Slug = in excess of £100
Gunstar Heroes = about £35 new

You're going to struggle to convince me that Metal Slug was worth the extra £65, even if it DOES look & sound way better.

I remember some spoilt S.O.B I knew having one of these. :evil:
I want one. I looked on EBay but I feel no shame in saying I can't afford one. Dang.

Forget even trying to aquire this thing (unless ya got ends..) I made the stupid assumption that I would be able to start a colletion for this thing...almost $600 later I only have 1 console 2 controllers and 4 games...pretty weak..so anyway I "wandered" into emule and guess what? I now have over 300 games...you guys hear of NeoRage?...F@#* those ass@#%!s on ebay jacking collectors!

As do I. Beyond the plethora of (godlike) fighters, it had some damn good games.
