I know almost nothing about Neo Geo, but I knew you can reconfigure carts and/or systems to be intercompatible. ;D

NES Super Mario was way off from the Arcade version... especially the later levels

That was a huge desirability point with my friends and I. Seeing the cabinet with the cardslot, finding out what it was for, then the expressions on our faces as we discovered just how much the home version cost.

Chad, NeoGeo being identical to the arcade was one of the biggest selling points at the time. It was true the pinouts were altered, but if I recall, it was done to prevent arcade operators from taking the cheaper (?!) carts and using them in their cabinets. Coming around, that was how that NGF ---uvula--- started his business, by altering the pinouts of MVS and AES carts and selling both carts to the various markets.

There are slight differences in level layout and item placement.

yeah, I know now :p Got any specifics? You almost have me wanting to fire up SMB and see the "new" levels. I never got very far in the arcade version.
