Title: Neo Geo Question Post by: airsoftmodels on May 08, 2014, 11:12:39 am From age 11 to age 14, (1980 - 1983) I rode my bike to the arcades daily in Ashland, Oregon. There were 3 arcades in town. Every game I saw during that time has been burned into the synapses of my brain! I could even tell you where in the arcade each game was located.
Then tragically, everything changed: we moved to Southern California and I got an Atari 600XL for xmas in 1983 and an Apple //c in 1984. Sadly, I completely stopped going to the arcades. :( I guess I was extremely lucky that I was there during part of the "golden age of video games". However, newer arcades like the Neo Geo system are completely foreign to me. But since I see one in John's Arcade, and many on this forum have one at home, I now realize the importance of the Neo Geo to the video gaming experience. So, may I ask what are your favorite Neo Geo games so I can check them out and hopefully some day buy a 4 slot Neo Geo for my home! Thanks.

If you are talking about "Home" I usually think AES. If you get an AES I recommend magician lord, fatal fury special and world heroes 2 jet. And also if you can find em a handheld neo geo controller . If you are talking MVS , just buy a multicart 160 in 1 and try some of the games out and buy the ones you like.

I also like the Samurai Showdown games, Puzzle Bobble/Bust a move and King of fighters series, KOF 99 is my fave. Title: Re: Neo Geo Question Post by: Space Avenger on May 09, 2014, 09:11:05 pm Metal Slugs
