I do have to disagree regarding your pick of Art Of Fighting 3. AofF3 totally blew of what made ArtofF series so attention grabbing in the first place. The Zoom In/Zoom out feature of Art of Fighting 1 snd 2 made the game feature the largest fighters ever to grace any console system of its time and along with a faster paced battles.
Just a grain of thought regrding my neo geo experience.

What is expensive? I don’t know what a latest madden game for any of the current consoles costs in the USA, but here in the UK it going to set you back £30-40.

I had a Neo geo aes with a collection of 20 games. Ok, some were better than others. Not one cost me what EA’s latest gridiron offering would set me back. There were some good games; I had some King of fighters, couple of the Fatal fury series, as well as many of the games mentioned in the guide.

My point to all this! I am recovering from a rather nasty back injury; as a result I needed to raise some cash. Due to some smart buying of the games I got more back than I paid for them. How much would I have got back if I’d bought 20 EA games? Enough to buy a Mc Donald’s?

They may be “expensive” but they always will be, and that’s a good thing.

I miss them….

“When you buy Neo-Geo games, you are essentially paying for the right to play them on the original Neo-Geo hardware and the collectability of these hard-to-find cartridges and CDs.”

I would say that is not entirely true. Ports of games are never the same as the originals. For example, some of the X-box/PS2 ports change the resolution, have loading times for neo geo games, and sometimes also have censorship issues. Also, most people don’t use the neo geo style stick or a proper arcade stick. MAME has problems with flicker and slowdown.

Great article, very nice summary. How about adding a best of for MVS games? This is truly the way to get “cheap” Neo Geo gaming…hell could get a Metal Slug and King of Fighters MVS with a few other titles for less than $120.

Collecting NEO GEO cartridges is so damn expensive I started collecting NEO GEO CD games.

I buy all of them from a reliable Ebay seller which has never failed me.All of them (J) and VERY CHEAP.
Send me a PM in the forum if you want the link (just don’t bid on my picks )

I’m missing the console but I like to collect them and I can always put the original or backed up còpy on the NEO GEO CD-Z emu.

That said, I strongly recommend Samurai Spirits (Shodown) II as this id to me the most balanced fighter ever released.

Truly a masterpiece.

Have fun

I love Neo Geo games, I have a job that pays fairly well and I still can’t imagine trying to collect for the AES.

So I went ahead and bought myself a Neo Geo arcade cab and started on my MVS collection instead.

It’s a very reasonable compromise.
