It was delicious! 😋

The flood was in Rathbone place, I went in a couple of days later and the caged area at the back where they had the PC engine LT running and all sorts of retro gear was covered in water and taken off sale as they were waiting for an insurance check. it stayed like this for weeks and then...

I bought a used but boxed console in 1993 for about £300 from KT Konsoles up in Scotland via mail order, used games were approx £120 each.

Minced beef pie, very tasty..

My Neo Geo and Samurai Shodown came from KT consoles in Scotland… with a huge home made 5 Volt power supply!

After joining this forum I found out about arcade versions of the home carts, so went to my local arcade and asked if he had any and he gave me a boxful of carts and a machine for about £100. Previous to that all my Neo Geo playing was on an imported home system.

My 1st ever Neo Geo home cart was a used Samurai Shodown in I guess about 1993, 1st new game was KOF 94 which I preordered after a recommendation from my local games importer. I had not even heard of MVS games until early 2000’s when I found this forum, then I bought loads as they were cheap...

The pcb‘s came first, the carts followed.

I have had both on MVS and the NeoSD on home cart, I find the DS one more fussy with which MVS board it runs on, the Onion carts both worked flawlessly.

Have there been any recent updates, I have a AES cart and although not used for ages all games tried seemed to work fine. Worth updating or not..
