What is NeoGeo? I know it was a handheld game that went the way of the Game Gear, but what does it have to do with arcades? |

* Gozur bashes head against the wall Ok... I am calm now Neo Geo / SNK mades arcade machines long before the hand held unit. They have home consoles (AES) and arcade standards (MVS) and Neo Geo CD offering. Take a peek at http://www.neo-geo.com and you'll see what games are played via Neo Geo hardware. Chances are you've played at least some of them before. Remember Google is your friend. -Goz |

For a while, it was almost hard to find a pizza parlor without a neo-geo unit. :) One of the most popular is the "metal slug" series. They did have a brief entry into the console market with a neo-geo console.. but it was extremely expensive. If I remember correctly it was about $500 for the console and each game was around $100-$200.. anyone else recall? |

Yep, I remember the Neo-Geo home system very well. I wanted one very badly, because the graphics were fantastic when compared with my Atari 2600 -- they were just like the arcade games I saw in the malls. Not only was the system pretty expensive, but the games were outrageous: $100-200 is what I remember also. And that was at a time when the Atari games were coming way down in price... -- Chris |
