neo geo

[TR0N]

Worth having if you find it's ports or compilations being lack luster.

Nothing beats owning the real deal when it comes to a neogeo.

No load times no worry about or if it's missing any animation to just pickup and play arcade games.

Though as what to own mvs if you are on a budget...or aes if you got the money to burn.

Beside you,don't need a cab to play the mvs at home the board can be consolized or run through a supergun.

While the neogeo is know for it's fighters it does have sports,puzzles,shooters,platformers and some run'n'gun games.

Though if you get one thor that will lead to being called a elitist and a jerk

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

you can als try to track down a phantom converter which allows you to run MVS on the AES. but they are as pricey as one of those top rare games on the system ($500~700).

I'd recomend the super mvs converter II over that given the P1 is junk. From,what i hear the super mvs converter II has a better track record at least.

Btw made by the people that came up with the neo pce flash card.

KoF'98 and Windjammers are the only Neo Geo games I need, but there several other really great titles (Twinkle Star Sprites, League Bowling, Super Dodgeball, Last Blades, Metal Slugs, etc...)

I don't know about flash cards but back in the day(and even now, if you're lucky) you could take your memory card to the arcades and continue your game from where you left off when you were at home.

As for Neo Geo.. I say GO FOR IT.  I collect and play everything that is Neo Geo, it's my favorite system of all time.  Don't pay any attention to the 'Elitist' crap out there.. the Neo is for kind people, too! 

I also recommend the Super MVS Converter 2.. it's much better than the Phantom and costs much less.  No matter what you chose, be it the Neo Geo Pocket, CD, AES, MVS.. you won't regret it.

[bust3dstr8]

Cartridges expensive !? You must be looking at the home system the aes now that is pricey.While the mvs the arcade system it's cartridges are dirt cheap.

As for the ngcd you do get a a arrange sound track and some extras,but it suffer from some realy long load times for it's later release's.Not to mention release for it stop at kof99...so that means no games that snkp made.

[Tatsujin]

HAHAHA..a freeeze is coming!!

[mobiusclimber]

Definitely not a console to get if you primarily play RPGs. There aren't any. (Well, the NeoGeo CD system has a fighting game RPG, I forget which one, no idea if it's any good or if it's even a true RPG. I don't ever plan on spending that kind of money on a system that doesn't have RPGs on it.)

i saw some handheld neo geo on ebay for $30! good price right? or do they just suck

[Tatsujin]

for most games they sux, but for few they really rox. like metal slug 1st & 2nd mission. it's somewhere in the gb color region, in technical and graphical terms, even bit above imo.

[TH0R]

do you need an mvs kit for each game? saw a site that had mvs kits that were pricey but were matching sets of the game it came with , like metal slug and metal slug mvs kit... can't you just get one kit for all games?

[Tatsujin]

one kit for all games.
