Hello all,
I'm here to learn about the Neo Geo.
I don't so much collect video games (which could be seen to imply some deliberation) as aggregate them in one place. In any case, by own "collection" is very modest, featuring a few:
(I tend to be more rigorous collecting table-top games from the late 70s through the early 1990s.)
My wife tends to be more into video games than I am, but I remain motivated to try and experience some of the stuff I missed out on when these things were fresh.
I don't have any personal experience with the Neo Geo—I can't recall even seeing the NG in arcades, which I barely attended after about 1986. But I have a fondness for toys (including games), and SNK's flagship product line certainly seems to appeal to that weakness of mine.
As of now, I own, well, nothing Neo Geo related, and what experience I do have comes purely from emulation, and that's not particularly extensive, either. I enjoy cartridge-based media, preferring it over optical media for the immediacy, heft, and other reasons. But especially, many of the games on the platform seem very appealing.
I've tended to prefer 3D games overall, since those games feel more like exploration to me than 2D games, and I prefer that feeling while gaming more than anything else (something definitely reflected in my tabletop games). As a consequence, I skipped over most of the 8-bit and 16-bit era during its heyday. In fact, if it weren't for Sony (which proved a gateway to Nintendo), I probably would have skipped considerably more.
My exposure to other 8- and 16-bit game platforms has provoked my interest in arcade games of the same era. And to be honest, as irrational as it seems, I've always really liked the 68000 cpu.
The Capcom CPS2 also seems really interesting, but only for about two games.
Anyway, I'm going to return to going through the tech support threads, as a way to familiarize myself with the hardware of the MVS.
Be seeing you.
