Hi! I was just reminiscing about my NG collecting days, particularly my quest to find an original US Last Blade 2 mini-marquee,the thread of which is here, and thought I would post a quick “hi, remember me?”
Wondering if there are any other olde-timers here.

There's a good hand full of us left. Pretty much all filled with piss and vinegar at this point and still love the Neo. So, I guess not much has changed. ^_^ Lol, was checking out your thread above and found this gem of a post - Ahhh, those days when $34 was considered "whopping" in the Neo scene - even for a mini marquee. :sneaky:

Did you ever move back to America
I’m still in Tokyo! I work for 8-4 now.

Haha. I would have totally paid way more for a LB2 set back then too.

Oh yeah? Hope you have peace in your life. Hope you're doing OK.
Yeah, doing great. Thanks! I love working in the game industry. 90% of my game collection is back in the US though. I wish I had more time to collect/play.

Sounds like you’re living the dream, congratulations! Were you going for a complete MVS art set collection? If so how far did you make it?

Glad you decided to check in, still a surprising number of active members form 15-20 years ago.

I hope to be on here more. Neo Geo was a big part of my collecting days. No, I was never going for a full collection. I just collected art sets for the games I liked.

I sold off almost my entire collection several years back only to halfway get back in a few years later.
Only NEO•GEO games I'm wanting bad these days are Blazing Star and Real Bout Special.
I'll pick up others if I come across them for good prices here & there.

You can’t have my Real Bout Special AES, sorry.

Quality over quantity, I know a certain other Sage who could learn a thing or two from you.

The internet has changed but this place resembles our past. Like a nursing home for gen x gamers
This. I hate the fact that people post valuable info on Twitter or Facebook. And then you never ever find it again when you search for it. That discord thing is also so chaotic.
