neo geo

[TH0R]

is this system really worth having? or are there just a couple of good games for it. i think virtual console has downloads, might be a better way to go.

[SuperDeadite]

Like every other system, it depends on your tastes.  The Neo Geo is most known for fighters, it also has some great shooters, sports, and puzzle games.  Do you like arcade games? All Neo Geo games were designed for the arcade.  Most are quite difficult and can be beaten in less then an hour.  What are some of your favorite games?  We can recommend similar NeoGeo games for you to try.

As for myself, I love the Neo Geo.  Can be pricey, but my type of games.

I would highly recommend getting one, though the system/games can be very pricey.
While many would say just download the games/ buy a compilation disc (like on the psp), I think games should be played on their original system.

Call me a purist

And i'm gonna agree w/ deadite, if you love arcade brawlers/shooters/platformers/arcade games in general, this is the system to have

[Lord Thag]

I put off getting one of these for years until one basically fell into my lap. It's an *excellent* system. Lots of great figters of course, but there is more variety than you might think. Price is the big downside, though you can get lots of games for $25 - $50 or so. It's well worth owning!

[Necromancer]

If the prices are too daunting, one can always go MVS or a .......... loading .......... CD system.  Neither is exactly cheap, but their prices are far more palatable than those for AES.

The Neo Geo is for elite a$$holes.  That's why I have one!

[Ninja Spirit]

Hell yeah Joe, right behind ya on that! Top loading Neo CD's broken, but keeping the games and holding out for a CDZ. Currently Last Resort is my favorite

[Joe Redifer]

When you get sick of Last Resort, please give it to me.  I won't even charge you for shipping!  The emulated version on the PS2 SNK arcade pack is awful due to really poor emulation.

[gundarN]

MVS all the way, fantastic system.

[TH0R]

dood, metal slug? nice...what is the difference between mvs and aes?.....is being an elite a$$hole a bad thing? cuz i think i m one 2 

[guyjin]

MVS is the arcade system, AES is the home system. the carts are not compatible.

[TH0R]

can you get an mvs system to play at home or is it the big arcade style type?

[guyjin]

Well, you can use something called a 'supergun' to connect an arcade board (like the MVS) to an ordinary TV and controllers.

[bust3dstr8]

The Neo sux and most of the games are steaming piles.....oh and Pulstar really blows. If you have one
you should get rid of it immediately, maybe sell it to someone on the forums here or sumtin'

[nectarsis]
