Classic Game Room - NEO-GEO MVS arcade machine review

NEO-GEO MVS review. www.ClassicGame... Classic Game Room reviews the NeoGeo MVS arcade machine from SNK originally released in 1990 (1991 U.S.) the Neo-Geo MVS stood for "multi video system" and allowed arcade operators to swap out game cartridges in their big red cabinet instead of replacing entire, expensive arcade machines. CGR adopted a 4-slot Neo-Geo MVS arcade machine and has it loaded with Samurai Showdowm, World Heroes 2, Neo Drift Out and Shock Troopers 2nd Squad! Good time ahead!

[@MocnyBrowarek]

Damn I miss this channel....

[@TechWithSean]

It was awesome

[@TheGorillafoot]

Me too. He hasn't even published on Amazon in a long time.

[@TheWizardjones]

I bought an actual 2 slot big red because of this man. Loved classic game room!

[@jamessullivan8300]

This is exactly what I want in my house/man cave! Spent countless hours at the arcade pumping quarters into one and it was tons of fun. I miss the old arcade rooms/businesses. Old stomping grounds was in Anchorage, AK at Hanger 18 and Space Station. They are no longer and that's a shame...

[@juniorsanchez7441]

Damn shame. It was so much fun spending all day at the arcade with friends

[@stoperfect]

DAMN i was born 1980..that was GOLD times.I am soo sad..we cant run the time back,and feel the same feelings...

[@Hyper_Egret]

Good old Neo-Geo :) great system, great games, everything.

[@nates2948]

My 2 favorite Neo Geo games: All of the Metal slug series League Bowling

[@HAIRYMAN-13]

i dont get why someone would thumbs down this when all it is, is a guy sharing something he loves with the viewers, great vid mate

[@mikediloreto5965]

Mark, I am 16 years old, and I'm going to start working soon. As soon as I have enough money, this is what I'm going to buy. Seriously. When I go to college I'm gonna lug this thing there with me and I will be the most awesome guy in the dorm block. In addition to my N64 with Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party 3, and Goldeneye 007, as well as a Genesis with NHL '94, a Super NES with Super Mario Kart and Mortal Kombat II. Oh yeah. It'll be kewl.

[@TouhouGaijin]

When he said big red monster I instantly thought of Kane.

[@JetteroHeller83]

I bought Shock Troopers 2nd Squad by arcade archives for the Nintendo switch after watching you play it. You do a good job reviewing games. Keep up the good work.

[@TheWyman55_]

You have a neo geo arcade machine and no metal slug? *tsk tsk tsk*

[@lol-ep2en]

TheWyman55 same

[@faceduro6719]

at least he got 4 games with the machine... I'm sure by now he must have had a Metal Slug game

[@Bender4411]

I agree Mark is the best reviewer on the internet. He is also one of the oldest reviewers, he has reviews dating back to 1999. He has a lot of them posted on this youtube account.

[@technogeek1219]

I Remember Back in the Day when They Were Advertising the Neo Geo In a Magazine, they were Advertising it as a Couple Of Hot Dogs, The Sega Genesis Hot Dog Was Bare, But the Neo Geo Hot Dog was Fully Decked Out, Stating That The Neo Geo Was, and Still is One of the Most Powerful Video Game System. Would Love To Own One.

[@Dre_aka_sleepysandman]

I remember these in arcades back in the day...man those was the good ol days. You put your token on the machine if you wanted to play next if their was a line, games like king of the fighters, fatal fury...man I miss those days.

[@Anonsage3]

Bought an MVS with metal slug 1 for $250 6 years ago from a YMCA. Someone goofed.

[@Jesses001]

I so need one of these. I have a gameing room, but no video games. Just pool table, ext. I NEED something like this for sure. That would be too awsome.

[@Mrandreson8]

Mark you need to set up an Earth Base Arcade and share your Arcade Machine collection with Earth. You should call it, the Classic Game Room Earth Base 1

[@DieHardjagged]

Damn, used 77K Times and still looks beautiful, damn if i had the Money and Space, i would already had gotten such a Machine, im jealous Mark :P

[@calvin3464]

The buttons come in 4 different colors: red, yellow, green and blue. That's awesome.

[@zangardo3937]

I remember back in the early 2000s when you could get a big red for $50 in nice shape.

[@someinterwebguy]

I remember him doing that to his Centipede machine. The LCD screen looked REALLY nice!

[@paulpetroleum]

I know a hell of a lot of collectors will jump on me for this, but I have a 151in1 cartridge, well worth the money and you can experience a hell of a lot of games. I

[@xion38]

"The big red monster" MVSKane?

[@Vimame999]

I had a lot of fun playing games on the Neo-Geo MVS! Too many games I enjoyed on this Arcade system, also I am a fan of Sega System 16, and CPS 1, 2, and 3!

[@XeCuTioNR]

Mark needs to get that badass 150 in 1 MVS cart...definitely worth the money.

[@jpsarri]

Awesome!!!!!!! Mark, your are the KING of all us NERDS!!! This video made my day and brought me back to memory lane. Those were the good times.

[@thehumbleofficer]

your the only guy i can watch game reviews from

[@ptick16]

Best comment he has in this video is at 5:26. He says, "But I think the MVS is just more bad azz. It should have been called the "MFVS"". That had me cracking up!

[@someinterwebguy]

Twinkle Star Sprites is an underrated game. Lots of fun!

[@supersnappahead]

Very nice. This would be my one and only choice for an arcade in the home.

[@Peppiinait]

Aww man,i'm so jelly right now.You go big guy!

[@Tenfresh]

If you like Neo Drift Out, you'd love the original Great 1000 Mile Rally. Same play style with amazingly classy cars and delightful presentation. Possibly the best character/car selection music of all time. The 'evolution model' revision added even more great cars!

[@AloanMoreira1]

I am very happy for this great video gaming history channel. That being said, I wish there were videos on KZbin in general or even a website talking about 8bit and 16bit game design ON Arcade system boards only (not on consoles)... Talking about how the art was made using 16x16 or 32x32 tile sets for the background, how they used to be set and called for... When did layers (which added parallax scrolling) first appeared... Programming languages used (types of assembly) and 8bit/16bit sound chips... specially the YM2151

[@georgef551]

For the intrim, if there's a vertical center pot, lower the image more towards the bottom (I noticed a decent-sized unused region on the screen). It doesn't fix the problem, but the rollover will be a lot less, until you get the defecting pot out of the vertical circuitry.

[@tiewin]

The Neo Geo machine is awesome. I also have cabinet in my house. The Neo Geo is the best arcade console to have because you can swap out games. That's really nice i dont have to have 100s of machines in my house. Its a 4 slot MVS and it also has a 161 in 1 cartridge in one of the slots. You should get one of this carts and review Captain Tomaday. Its a very wacky/fun shmup.

[@clookoo2]

I actually didn't know this until now, but CGR was the first video review series to ever be on the internet in 1999.

[@reesercliff]

Wish I had room for a neo geo cab, I ended up just buying a Supergun that will play my MVS-FZ1 on my HDTV via an Xrgb-mini. I do love it.

[@KetwunsGamingPad]

I am waiting for the Neo Geo X, coming out on December 6th 2012, which will be a portable Neo Geo and will let you play ALL these games. It will only be $129 dollars, and it will have 20 pre-loaded games on an SD Card which you can increase in storage. They are also offering a Gold package for $200, which will include a 20th anniversary console or "docking station" and an arcade joystick. I consider this to be MUCH more affordable and worthwhile. It is also officially SNK licensed.

[@jupreindeer]

Some of those multi-game Neo-Geo carts pack a whopping selection. I've gone down to the taco shop and wasted an hour, just on previewing from the menu of one. And, after visiting a local game shop, I was blown away to see an impressive library in there of those Neo-Geo carts. (Plus the $99.99 Intellivision cart...*something* of Doom.)

[@MamaAki]

The neo geo mvs is my fav arcade machine ever

[@chronickevin420]

I used to love these things. They had one in Super Pizza. Games were Metal slug, Bust-a-Move, Aero Wings, and another game i dont remember. It still might be there. I need to check it out.

[@BrianCostelloe]

Got a flashback to when I use to own a Shinobi cabinet which I kept in my bedroom as a teenager. I still wish I didn't sell it!

[@Space-Holiday]

Going to university/college. I want one of these for my dorm room :D

[@shaqfunaki]

"How'd he get the flamethrower. That's my gun!!" hahaha

[@cloob1863]

Mark! Just turn on free play so you don't have to keep using quarters like that... Flip the number 7 dip switch down, it's on the board that you put the games into, on the left side of the board facing it from the front of the machine. They are very, very small and probably have to use a tiny screw driver to push it down.

[@cucososio31]

This is my biggest dream on the life.. A NEO GEO MVS!!! on my room!! amazing dude!! enjoy it!!

[@TheL1arL1ar]

A cool red cab with a name that sticks.

[@OverdriveMediaProd]

Oh man, that's really awesome, you make me desire one MVS Cabinet in my room to be the most cool person EVER!

[@Dukefazon]

Hey, Mark! My home-made MAME arcade machine is complete! :) Thanks to you for planting the idea in my mind. Glad your MVS arcade is okay.

[@HaganeSteel]

Glad you got it working, Mark. :)

[@gumdeo]

Best arcade system ever!

[@MegaAstroFan18]

Thank you for summarizing the video for me, but i watched the video and understood all that. I was questioning whether an arcade cabinet, cartridge based or not, would count as a game console.

[@sinbysin666]

I have many of these (16 or so) on a PS2 collection, I bought for just about nothing. They're awesome.

[@Joolz1982]

Always thought about gettin an AES machine cartridges are soooo expensive though. Great review glad it works Neio Drift looks awesome I remember that from Arcades, hope t gets a PSN release. I should buy Super SIde Kicks 1 or 2.

[@paulpetroleum]

Well worth the money, considering how much each individual cart would cost. Has an easy to use menu system, and would be worth it just for the KOF games, SNK vs Capcom and the Metal Slug games.

[@VirtualArcades]

Wow, that is a large number of plays. I guess this machine was a real money maker for the operator :)

[@zydian_]

i remember playing on a arcade back in the day (it was a 2D beat m up), and litterly the flesh of my left hand was off when i quited playing and noticed it just then x) (On rail shooters where awesome to .... actually every kind of game on a arcade :p!!). i wish arcades came back!

[@yangabernard1]

@2:24 I always do that at our arcade machine god miss the that days...

[@WebVManReturns]

I bought a JAP Neo Geo CD, but it had a broken lid that you have to barely lift or else it breaks. It was able to sell it in the same condition due to its rarity and used the money to get an Xbox 360 which also broke down on me.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

oh man, that is so awesome. if i was rich, i wouldn't have a showroom full of pimped out cars, i'd have my own personal arcade XD

[@IAMERORR]

Thanks to you Mark now I'm much poorer..... but 1 Neo Geo richer! I bought an Australian Neo Geo 6 slot, best damn thing out

[@GhostOfSide3]

Hope Classic Game Room reviews the NEO GEO X in just a few weeks! I know I'm getting one.

[@malmstring]

VERY VERY cool console game indeed. Many of the best 2D games were made around that time. I also want one! Nice review.

[@Bender4411]

I demand you send that to Mark right now!

[@cloob1863]

LOL, there's no better sound than a quarter falling into a arcade machine! The cool thing is you can still turn on free play AND put in quarters if you wish! When free play is on you can still start games while the counter says 0, and the counter will increase still if you put a quarter in. OR you can just hit the "Service Credit" button a bunch of times, next to the power switch.

[@gremistaman]

Mark makes me feel the urge to collect a bunch of things that I actually don't really need...

[@retrostansolo]

I want one of them space arcadey rooms full of arcade machines, systems and games like mark's.

[@gamecollect101]

Wow my cousin & I played the snot outta Neo Geo Mvs cabs down in Puerto Rico when they first released, gaming in general has always been big out there & extremely competetive. Fatal Fury was just as popular as Street Fighter II. Btw Mark's Mvs board is full of radiation...straight from nucleur spillville (Jp). Lol

[@greencoman]

Great review. I am going to start collecting for the Neo Geo. Thing is it gets kinda of pricey but that is all in the fun of collecting.

[@soleram2645]

man... i miss your video

[@Progearspec]

Also i forgot to mention mark the mvs can be set to free play,check it's dip switches it should be on the back or on it's side.

[@4ppleseed]

Needs more Neo Turf Masters!

[@DylanTheDude1]

Good times ahead indeed, great to see you got it in a working state, lukemorse1 is a life saver :D. Now excuse me while I play some AES :D

[@Chuck-RETROGAMECAVE]

Too bad about the rollover on the top of the screen. Still playable but a replacement CRT chassis would be the honorable thing for a NEO CAB. Great Video Mark! MVS is the new AES :)

[@MarchosArcade]

I recently bought a candy cab neo geo not working for $150 , changed the screen crt for another crt and works great came with a 161 in 1 cart scored well i think , you just dont see these in Australia so I'am lucky i reckon

[@mellowdude5476]

I think i seen one of this at fast food place. cool to play while you wait for your burrito to be ready

[@JoshCobra89]

that's awesome that lukemorse fixed it up for you!

[@TheArmchairEmpire]

It would be neat to have something like this, but I definitely don't have the space for it right now. I'll have to be one of those people that settles for PS2 re-releases of some of the Neo Geo games for now.

[@arcadeimpossible]

Great video and review! I can't wait to get one of these. Cheers!

[@1shoryuken]

MVS Arcade Cabinets are the way to go, you could just get a Neo-Geo console but AES cartridges are WAY more expensive than MVS.

[@leekinweng]

hey u are online right now mark? cool i just watched parts 1 - 3 congratulations!

[@scopeshadow4432]

This Machine Uses cartridges it differs from AES preventing arcade operators using AES cartridges from using the MVS system.

[@joshuaworman4022]

+Earl Franco but you can buy an mvs to avs converter if you just want to use an avs. for some reason mvs games are cheep as hell.

[@srbclarke]

I recently had to move my MVS from upstairs to downstairs. Damn, what a pain in the ass that was, especially because my stairs were to narrow for the machine.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i'd believe it, if i had a NEO-GEO i'd go for the 161-in-1

[@johneygd]

let's hope for a mvs sd flash cartride,to store 1000 of games on it,including homebrew games. this console deserves a port of streetfighter2!!!

[@Volviert]

I would like a arcade machine just for the fightning games. Nice video as always.

[@toastwings9358]

my local game store has a 2-slot Neo Geo MVS in the back of the store.

[@toastwings9358]

***** What retro game store? I'm assuming your local one.

[@toastwings9358]

***** Ok.

[@boylekanalismimiolur5042]

I voted as I liked your video due to the insert coin detail in the video.

[@astritgameroom]

Great video.buying 4pcs.this week.I dont know if they are original cabinets from Neo Geo but they run on this Neo Geo MVS carts.

[@tehshokoi]

Can't wait to get my neo geo x.

[@Jadty]

The amount of jealousness I have cannot be measured right now. Someday I'll have my own MVS ;_;. Cheers Mark, looking forward to some nice reviews from the system and hopefully Mohammed from Qatar will donate a few MVS games.

[@a_bich-]

Wow cgr has everything!

[@ZetZatar]

Best "Home" console ever!

[@MrPapabush]

I always wanted a neo geo

[@TVindustries5000]

it would be cool if there was a table top acrcade machine home console. and you could buy games online for it thru the console. and of course, online arcade play. wow that really sounds awesome haha

[@PiN_MiKE]

I recently bought a MVS 4 slot too. :) I love it and would love to have Neo drift out . I played a mame version of it but would love to have it in my cabinet. I have Metal Slug,Samurai Shodown 2, Bust A Move,Strikers 1945 plus,and my first MVS cartridge purchase from eBay ,King of Fighters 2003 :) these bad boys are so cool to have. I left mine downstairs in my living room cuz its so heavy . I am trying to restore it. It looks like someone took all the red off of the sides and the front. I was

[@gollumondrugs]

I'm sure that screen issue can be fixed via the v-height adjust on the screens main pcb.

[@ThatOneSeong]

ive actually seen a NeoGeo AES in person with 4 games complete! Ive left them though in favor of Dreamcast. besides I couldn't find the right power supply.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Everyone, if you are looking into buying an MVS arcade, check your local Craigslist site. I got a MVS 4 slot arcade for $150 with 2 copies of Metal Slug, Strikers 1945 Plus, Puzzle Bobble, Fatal Fury 2, Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, World Heroes 2, The King of Fighters 2002, The King of Fighters 2005, Fighters History Dynamite.and a 2nd 4 slot board.

[@seselapaz]

Hola! I write this review from Los Cabos Mexico, I love your videos and since you own a MVS arcade Neo Geo I wanted to ask you for a big favor....I just got myself a MVS system but it came with a custom cabinet... My projectnis to build a replica of the original cabinet, it won't be an original but at least I could try to make it look as much as possible to one and My question is if you could give me the measures of your arcade machine so I can build one like yours? Thank you! And keep the great work!
