>I have been trying to read through the posts and I agree with Shawn and Dion.
Ok, Shawn's simply being fair. I see that he's gone back on his word to me about reporting dion to the ifcc, and that he paid dion (474 after the escrow fee) for an extra game, in order to get the game he already payed for. Again, this is how NGF gets people to play right into their hands, just like Geddon had to buy a copy of Shinoken from Chris Ray in order to get the two games HE already ordered. People always end up playing "nice nice" with "NGF" because apparently having new games is more important than having integrity. (no offense guys! I know Geddon was just trying to get his stuff)
As for you new folks who just wandered into "neo-geo.com" and think you know what's up, you don't know JACK.
>Why is it the neo community has to behave like jerks?
Like jerks?? You weren't around when dion was saying "I AM NEO GEO" and making BLATANTLY racist remarks on a public Neo Geo mailing list.
In the time that I've known of dion, he's lied and done more fucked up things than I can count, but here are a few:
1) Claimed all MVS games were also released on home cart. (a blatant lie that can be backed up by JMK and many others)
2) Lied about his hit count. Said he had 500,000 hits, when he actaully had less than 50,000. (shawn the webmaster can confirm this)
3) Emailed me, TELLING me to ban people who didn't like him, basically trying to throw his weight around as Neo God, saying that they needed to go. I told him that I needed a reason. He didn't provide one, and left in a huff.
4) Claimed to be preparing to PRINT a US version of NeoGeo Freak Magazine. That's why he has the NGF URL, because he was claiming to have ties with the REAL NGF: http://www.neogeofreak.co.jp
and saying that he had a magazine coming out, that was SUPPOSED to be out MONTHS ago. Everyone reacted like "whatever" but dion and chris kept claiming that they had a mag coming out. Since they obviously don't, they obviously have no claims or rights to the Neo Geo Freak.com URL, trademarks or logos. They have since backpeddled on the mag, but it was obvious that this was their plan from the beginning.
Start the excitement about a MAG going, then use the site you CLAIM to be for a publication, to sell games. Big surprise.
5) Sold the "Irritating Maze homecart, which they claim can be played with a trackball, but cannot be played AT ALL. Also they claimed that they would have a Certificate Of Authenticity FROM SNK. In an UNPRECEDENTED move, Alicia Barone (the SNK Prez's daughter), actually came down to Yahoo! Clubs and stated that this was NOT TRUE and that SNK had in NO WAY endorsed the IM project, and that they never promised a certificate either. She also said she didn't know how dion would get the carts to sell, because they simply WILL NOT be playable on the home cart unit, PERIOD. (I also have the posts to prove this along with at least 50 people who saw it)
6) Tried to buy up every copy of Metal Slug X from SNK, in order to paint them orange, raise the price, and make it an "NGF" only title.
7) dion ripped off Shinichirou Mukaigashira, owner of Supersellers. These are Shinichirou's EXACT words, which you can confirm by emailing him:
"I know a man called Dion Dakis. The software of NeoGeo has been sold to him before. However, since he has doubt which is carrying out the criminal act, he is taking care not to be concerned. (The unjust copy, forgery, etc. of a product package)
He has not yet paid the price of the goods purchased from me about 6
months before. (about $600!!) It is very disreputable although his action is seen by news group or mailing list.
(There are many grievances in goods transactions) His transactions are not recommended."
>Super Sellers Group Owner
>Shinichirou Mukaigashira
>order.ssg@anet.ne.jp
You can email Shin and ask... know of many STORES that LIE??
8) Tried to pass off his shoddy goods as "official SNK" for a long time. Eventually, when cornered, he admitted: "All the parts and materials are 100% SNK and the inserts are printed from SNK digital files" Still, the games were assembled by dion, and thus, were NOT OFFICIAL in any way. (some selling for as much as $900, because they were believed to be genuine.
dion's angle was "I can find games nobody else can" and the fact was, this was true because dion made these games himself. (from parts) After being exposed for selling converted carts, dion claims suddenly that he said they were converted all along... another lie.

9) (from GUI LONG) ADOL WAS RIPPED OFF BY dion WHO SENT HIM A CONVERTED NEO CART "SHOCK TROOPERS" ADOL SCANNED THE CART AND THE PICTURE STILL RESIDES IN THE "SNKNEOGEOWARROOM" YAHOE CLUB. dion SENT THIS FAKE CART AND ADOL GOT MAD RIPPING THE STICKER ON THE CART......dion HAD ALSO WRITTEN HIS NAME IN THICK BLACK PERMANET MARKER ON THE BACK AND THE INSERT WAS MERELIE A PHOTOCOPIED EDITED PIC OF THE MVS MARUQEE PICTURE.......UPON SENDING THE CART BACK dion CLAMED ADOL HAD PAID THE 400 FOR THE STICKER THAT HE HAD RIPPED AND GAVE ADOL SOME RIPPOFF DEAL TO THE VALUE OF AROUND $100 AS COMPENSATION IF I REMEMBER THIS ONE CORRECTLIE(YOU CAN ASK ADOL THIS YOURSELF FOR A BETTER EXPLANATION)
and this is among poorly dealing Garg7, Shawn, Geddon, and many others.
10) _I_ stated that when Mouse Master/Keith Scroggins called dion in Las Vegas, dion never answered or returned his calles or emails, even though he was in town. _I_ THEN stated that this was perhaps because dion was afraid that Keith would want to see his fictional Ironclad cart (a CD only game). Keith had sent dion money for two games previously, and upon hearing my opinion on why dion didn't respond to Keith, dion counters with "Well then, since Keith thinks I'm afraid to meet him, then he can just come to Vegas and GET his games." Keith never said ANYTHING, but this is how dion A) controls what people say by holding them hostage over prepaid goods B)proves the fact that dion's mood affects his business practices, and that he's entirely unprofessional.
>Basically Billkwando, JM Kurtz, Jason, and I think 2 more. 5 against 1 isn't too fair. And those 5 are just saying the same junk over and over again, and not making any sense or showing any facts the their claims.
You are one person who OBVIOUSLY doesn't know what's up. Jeff is THE most reputable person to deal with in the COMMUNITY! His word IS fact. For most of us, who've trusted him enough to send our Neos to him, his word is enough. YOU are the one who doesn't know the facts, my misinformed coposter, and maybe I can educate you a bit...
>Dion come back. Never mind the people that are instigating fights, they are just attention seekers. You have helped Shawn and I think NGF is in a much better and respected light now. I think what you and your company are doing is great and I will get some NGF games soon. This I promise.
I understand your ignorance of the issues, but you are a perfect example of how people blindly follow dion and then get ripped off for it. Don't be a lemming.
just because Shawn is playing nice DOESN'T mean you should buy from dion!!! Shawn's a nice guy who doesn't like to fight, it's natural for him to behave kindly, but DO NOT mistake that as him saying that "NGF" is suddenly LEGIT, because they aren't and they NEVER WILL BE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HOPE THIS CLEARS SOME THINGS UP FOR A FEW OF YOU.....
