After making my return to neo-geo.com earlier today after an 18 year absence, I realized I didn't belong here if I didn't own a Neo Geo (I'd sold mine a decade ago to help buy a home).
So I went to the local game store down the street tonight and bought one. US AES with original hook ups, one stick and a Japanese copy of Samurai Shodown. $999.
Going to start hunting for a second stick and more games. It's been a great day. Thanks for all the insults in the other thread. Made me feel welcome.
