My friend had a neo geo. I asked my parents for one. They saw the price and

I was way too young when this came out but my uncle's friend had this console. We would play Samurai Showdown all night. Good Times. If anybody is interested, amazon's prime gaming has some of the Neo Geo games for free if you have prime. I keep em tucked away on my Pc in case I'm feeling nostalgic.

?? MVS cartridges (the arcade carts) didn't fit in the AES and vice versa.

There were phantom converters who did just that. It was lucrative for certain games like Metal Slug and Kizuna which used to be cheap on MVS.

Last Blade 2 all day, still today my favourite fighting game
I remember one of my friends had a Japanese imported one in the early 90's, he had to have a fan running constantly against the power supply otherwise it would overheat lol

It's sorta of crazy we haven't seen a Neogeo collection on a modern console. We need a 2nd SNK collection.

That's how much the PS6 will cost...(1500)
Digital Eclipse did the SNK 40th collection which was 80s pre-NeoGeo stuff.
Then there's the ACA (Arcade Collection Archives) releases, some are individual games while others are bundled.

Or smaller series focused bundles like the Samurai Shodown one: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0576-CUSA17134_00-SAMUSHOCOLLEUS00

I had an Atari 2600 and then a SEGA Genesis for most of the early-mid 90s. It was either SNES or Genesis at school. I used to go over to my friends house all the time to play to his old NES too until I got one from my older cousin. Got like 200 hundred NES games from the video store for like a $100 when they blew them out. Then bought a SNES off of him for cheap.
I don't think any kids in my town were getting a Neo Geo no matter what. If you were getting another console it was the Nintendo or SEGA you didn't have. Then we all moved on to either to the N64 or PS1 and went to your buddies house to play the one you didn't have. As much as I was a SEGA kid nobody got a Saturn. Personally I went from Genesis to N64 for the wrestling games and Goldeneye then to PS2 to play GTA 3.
BTW Sega Lord X is awesome

Yeh it didn't have a single "behind the car" view game like outrun
It did have some good racing games however, like Thrash Rally, Neo Drift Out and Overtop
The Hyper Neo Geo 64, which was an arcade upgrade to the standard Neo Geo, had a game called Roads Edge that is like outrun but is fully 3D

I don't remember using an adapter or if the board was modified(?) but I do remember I could only use specific carts. All I know is it did work with some games. The next time I travel to my brothers I will see if he still has any of it. If not, no big deal. I am not one of those prove it on the internet kind of people.

As a complete fighting ignorant I agree with you, however the genre is deep enough when you start looking at the different subgenres. Which is why when they add one character from one subgenre (Akuma) to a different subgenre (Tekken) it completely breaks the game (28:20, though the whole video is pretty interesting).

Without being an expert, this may be because of the Neo-Geo's weird architecture where everything on screen was a sprite

It makes sense that such a product existed. If I recall correctly, the only difference in the carts where the physical shape and "pin" layout. I was just thinking to myself "where would an arcade operator find such a product in the days before the internet", but then I remembered that's what the back of magazines were for, all the shady shit.

My guess is that this is done with a ton of 1 pixel high sprites that they scroll left/right, but that's just a guess. It can't be done the same way as on other console since there is no background tilemap.

Hyper Neo Geo 64 is a cool concept, too bad it was overengineered. Different genres really didn't need their own boards that were incompatible with other boards.
Certain parts of Hyper Neo Geo 64 just seem contrarian to Neo Geo's design philosophy out of spite.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
How is it doomed from the get-go, yet survived for 14 years? And that was during a time when consoles had about 5 years of longevity before getting the heave-ho for newer tech. To say nothing of the fact that it's still revered today, still gets 3rd-party games from indie studios, and the games were popular enough that they still see fit to port them to every single console under the sun even today.
It was a niche platform that was successful within that niche. I don't know how some people are construing that as a failure.

Yeah, like most kids wanted Ione so bad. Also like most kids it was a pipe dream with that expensive (for 1990) console and those $200+ games (still insane to fathom).
Of course, I did have that one friend with "money was no object" grandparents that bought them everything- and got to play a fair bit over there. It was pretty insane- arcade perfect games (actual not even "arcade perfect" but actual arcade games at home which was unheard of in times where NES games were still releasing). Those game cartridges that were as large as a hardcover book, full arcade-stick controller. Amazing. God, I wish I was alive then with the money I got now, I'd be so broke
