For some reason this game has alluded me for a long time. I've been out bid 100 times, then when I finally just used buy it now it got lost in the post and I had to get a refund. I'm glad I've finally got it, I've missed playing this game.

Sanwa original pink and green mesh. Pink has some wear on it. It's weird, I think I see why sanwa went with the more subtle design now. The water transfer that was employed here was a real thin layer, albeit it with a really good but thin coat of clear coat industry grade. The effect is dangerously close to being worn off it, definitely for display only. Not using these.

I haven't gotten any video game stuff lately and I've actually been on a kind of vacation. That might change now. After reading about that retron 5 thing, I decided to try it out. I waited until the end of my shift to call the store and they had one left. I wasn't really expecting much and since they kept calling it "that video game thing" I was certain I'd get there and they would have one of those stupid AtGames Genesis dealies.
But at $30.77, I could care less if it is a steaming pile of crap.
I won't have the time to try it out tonight, maybe tomorrow. Or maybe I should keep it sealed and sent to be VGA graded!

I would have jumped on that too at that price. I've heard mixed reviews but to me it looks like a cool gadget just for kicks. Kinda cool like living room material, keep my real consoles in the game room and use this for the guests whenever.

Goddamn, I would have been all over that at 40 bucks.

One major flaw with the Retron 5: input lag.
But at $30 it's a steal! Have fun with it!

and here I thought it was only that the emulator code was stolen and that flash carts don't work!

That monitor looks different...cool find, had one years ago, fun times and a good conversation piece but for me I had to let it go, it was just a novelty.

Happy to finally knock this one off my wishlist. Probably one of the only (well-known atlease) Neo Geo fighters I've never played in any form. Really excited to try it out
Nice!
You're gonna love it, play LB2 also.

Thanks man, I spent some time playing it yesterday and had a ton of fun. Love the atmosphere of the game. I have the DC version of LB2 but I'd prefer to upgrade to the AES version. It might be difficult to find a loose copy in the 150-175$ range. I'll just have to keep my eyes open.
Congratulations! Hopefully one day I'll find one
