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?

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.

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?

CJK:
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...
