First cart you ever owned

[HeavyMachineGoob]

NGH, MVS, even NGP and NGPC if you want... eh, throw in NGCD too I guess.

Feels like forever ago now but the very first MVS game I ever owned was World Heroes 2, played it on the surfboard MV-1 model. Honestly I think it is still a great game. It's like the first, still has deathmatch mode but has new characters and new stages added. no, I don't own that loose MVS WH2 cart anymore, though I do have it complete in box on NGH.

As for my first NGH cart, also forever ago, pretty sure that was NAM-1975, purchased from someone on this very forum. Somehow today I still own that same beat up old former rental copy. Anyone here remember Home Entertainment Showplace? Still a fun game, hard to believe it never received any kind of update, not a sequel or a clone.

Also, yes this is an uncensored NAM-1975.

KOF 97 as a pack-in for the brazilian NGCD.

 

[HornheaDD]

First cart I ever owned was World Heroes, but also King of the Monsters. Both came with a Neo when I bought it.

For $160. No sticks tho. Came with 2 CD pads.

NOS copy of Magician Lord from the Neostore. They were in stock for years and years. It felt like they were utterly undesirable back then. They cost $50 back then.

Sure, it was gimped compared to the arcade at Pizza Hut, but I sure loved it.

Jpn KOF94 and World Heroes 2, AES. Came with the system I bought in 1997.

To this day KOF94 is an absolute favorite of mine. I was absolutely blown away by it in 97.

Ironically enough, this was in fact the first NG game i ever owned. Once I got into MVS collecting, i think the first few carts i got as a bundle were sam sho, fatal fury, and world heroes. Then it was downhill from there.

Also, Genesis FF2 is a lot of fun

In the order that I got them:

NGPC: Sam Shodown 2!
Home system: Sam Shodown 1 and 2, Fatal Fury 2 and Special (got them all from the same dude on here)
MVS: Metal Slug and Aero Fighters 2
CD: I don't remember, probably one of the earlier SS games or Fatal Fury Special

I bought a poorly converted cab with a one slot and it came with 6 games, Metal Slug, Metal SLug 2, Kof 94, Kof 96, & boots of Puzzle Bobble & Super Dodge Ball. Eventually sold that cab back to the guy I bought it from and gave him back only Puzzle Bobble & gifted Super Dodgeball to my brother.

I remember my first MVS was purchased on Ebay for $450, shipped via Forward Air for $90. It was a conversion into a dynamo cab. This was probably 99 or 2000. Came with a 1 slot and Samurai Shodown 3. Still my least favorite SS.

After I got my first MVS with RBFF2 and Waku Waku 7, this was my first haul in 1999 for $130, I still have all of these carts. Back then a lot of the new-ish MVS games I bought came down in price before later coming back up.

 

[city41]

Ah the days of $10 MVS carts. Kind of funny they were pretty much considered worthless back then.

 

[deez_nutz]

First cart I owned was a world heroes Japanese homecart that I got from 16-bit on eBay.

 

[Takumaji]

My first Neo cart was Soccer Brawl, the place I bought my homecart system had four or five games on offer, SB was the cheapest and I liked it so it went home with me.

 

[famicommander]

My NGPC came with like 30 carts.

My Neo CD came with Fatal Fury 3 and Samurai Shodown II.

My MVS came with a bunch of carts too.

 

[Tw3ek]

Bought a system in a lot with Samurai Spirits, Samurai Spirits 2, World Heroes 2 and Fatal Fury Special, but played Samurai Spirits 2 first so going with that

 

[Johnny16Bit]

AoF 1 & 2, WH 1 & 2 AES JP, along with the console and 2 sticks.
But the first SNK game cart I owned was a US SNES copy of Fatal Fury, such a cool lame game... Now I think of it, it may be the game I got the most copies of in my life...

 

[daytonausa]

Neo Drift out. Guy from these forums I met in person sold it to me as it was my favorite game. Got me into mvs.

 

[zinho]

It was actually a loose WH2 cart that came bundled with a defective aes system. The cart had part of the label missing. I got mad because I thought I was buying a working console and sold it all. Bought a complete AOF2 from a brick and mortar store and I consider that to be the first game of my collection. Years passed and I got a boxed Japanese Neo Geo with SS4, the addiction had intensified.

Well, the early fighting games at least.

 

[terry.330]

FFS, WH2J, Super Spy, Magician Lord, Baseball Stars and TPG. All came bundled with my home cart system.

First new home cart was KOF 98.

I remember a few years ago I felt like picking up MagLord again and looked here, and on ebay and was surprised to see the MVS cart was going for more than $20.

Still a WTF if you ask me, but I mean all arcade/Neo prices are stupid high right now anyway.

 

[Ralfakick]

KOF 94 I bought with an AES system from someone around 97/98

Neo Mr. Do! MVS

No idea Neo CD I think maybe Turfmasters from the Neo Store actually

I had played Neo Geo on the Wildwood NJ Boardwalk and at my PA University but it wasn’t until I rented KOF 95 on PS 1 that I became a big fan

Magician Lord is not a cheap MVS cart. You'd have better luck looking for a cheap AES version.
