Pages: (1/5) > >>

knave:

I need to find some good games but I have no idea.

Samurai Shodown looks good as does World Heros.  Which Versions are the best?

Are there any reviews or ratings around?

Please help me learn what to look for.

What are your top 5 Neo Geo Picks?

Thanks

My top 5:

Metal Slug 3
King of Fighters '99
Mark of the Wolves
Samurai Showdown II
Bust-a-Move

Crowquill:

As mentioned in the "bringing home the cab" thread, there are a ton of great games. Here are some of my favorites:

Fighting - King Of Fighters (any, but 99 is my favorite), Samurai Shodown (I favor 2), Mark of the
            Wolves, Last Blade 2, Rage of the Dragons

Puzzle - Bust-a-move 1 & 2 (AKA Again), Puzzle de Pon, Magical Drop (any)

Beat-em-up - King of the monsters, Sengoku 2 & 3

Shooter - Prehistoric Isle 2, Blazing Star, Strikers 1945 Plus, Shock Troopers, Nam 1975 is OK.

Platform -  Any Metal Slug (3 is my favorite), Spinmaster, Magician Lord isn't too bad

Sports - Baseball Stars 2

1st-person fighting/shooting - Super Spy, Crossed Swords (always liked both of these but they don't
            really fit in any other category).

For the most info on Neo-Geo hardware see: www.hardmvs.com
For the most info on software: www.neo-geo.com (lots of reviews)

There are also several other decent fan sites that I can't find right now.

ahofle:

Metal Slug series
Bust a Move/Puzzle Bobble
Viewpoint
Irritating Maze
Aerofighters/Sonic Wings 2/3, Strikers 1945 plus (all good shooers)


DarkBubble:

Fatal Fury Special
Burning Fight (Sure, it's a blatant Final Fight rip-off, but it's still fun.)
Samurai Shodown 2
King of Fighters (Tie between '95, '97, '98, and '99)

I just realized that I stuck mostly to the fighters and beat-em-ups.  I think the first game I played on Neo was Magician Lord in '90.
