Since recently fixing up a broken AES, I've flung myself into the wild world of Neo-Geo home console gaming, an expensive hobby if there ever was one.
Of course, I know the smartest option for AES owners is to avoid AES collecting altogether and buy an adapter to run MVS carts. But looking around, I come to learn there's a 161 in 1 multicart for the AES, a conversion of the same 161 in 1 for the MVS that had been available for years prior. But looking into that, I can't help but be disappointed since it doesn't truly contain 161 different games but something like 96, with the rest being hacks. Still, the cart does cover the vast majority of the Neo-Geo library but lacks key titles like Baseball Stars Professional, Metal Slug 5, Twinkle Star Sprites and more.
So this leads me to wonder a few things.
Why is the multicart the way it is? They threw on friggin Legend of Success Joe, but not Nam 1975.
Why didn't they include the full Neo Geo library instead of wasting storage on hacks?
Is there any hope for a better multicart in the future, one that _does_ contain the whole library? Such a thing would make the hyper expensive Neo SD not needed.
Thanks and look forward to hearing your guys thoughts.
