Then why are you here, if you don't like the Neo Geo?I don't.
A lot of people want things that (or were) seen as unattainable, or just for the elite or the rich. I like how the Neo is basically the same hardware as the arcade. I also get other things that are pro gear, as they are often better value than the consumer products, and don't have all the useless "features" the consumer-grade things have.I've been wondering this about myself.
I remember the first time I saw an AES.it was set up as a store demo. Coolest thing ever. Believe it was the year it came out. So I was 8 or 9.
Do I like the nostalgic novelty of being able to acquire something from my childhood that I couldn't have back then? Is that more important than the actual game selection? Or do I really like the game selection? Or, is it just awesowm to be able to buy it now that I'm an adult and can just cuz I feel like it.
Both? Don't know...
Probably all of the above.
Some of the Neo games are good, some are ones that Neo fans might like but others wouldn't, and some are just games you want to like, but can't (like The Super Spy).
He is from Belgium. If you lived in a country that didn't officially have the Neo Geo released there, and you didn't read the imported American/British magazines (EGM, etc), you might not know about it. People didn't really have the internet in the (early) 90s. Not sure if the Neo Geo was really released that much in Europe.I don't understand how you could play games in the 90s and not even hear of the Neo Geo.
Ban pls
