After we save NeoGeo, let's help JFK with that head wound.

 

[The Pleasure]

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.

 

[ReasonBeing]

I had both the console and the arcade. It was awesome to have the same cart work on them both. Friends over, arcade. Hanging on the couch, console. It felt futuristic.

Is it? News to me!

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

One curious thing comes to mind, the Neo Geo never really had a game like Top Gear?

 

[Methos#1975]

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

Console was doomed from the get go being that expensive and having no third party support. Hell, the price of the console was today's PS5 Pro price. With today's inflation, it should be more than US$1500

But was a nice machine that still holds up
