My dad almost got me one as a kid, it was the best thing at the time. I remember my parents sort of bickering in front of me about it. I love the handheld, that I do have. I never sadly got the home system, just a Neo Geo X. Which I also love, but I know it's emulation. =)

Now THIS is what I call a video VGE, What a fantastic way to start your new series with Neo-Geo. I absolutely love it bro. The moment you started speaking, we as your viewers know this was going to be more than just another fun and cool video bro. Excellent work. This made my day for sure. Best Neo-Geo discussion and the history of the units and games in a long time. Also VGE, thank you so much for sharing this on the Neo-Geo thread for others to benefit and enjoy.

[@IamMarkSmith]

Thank you for this series. I am a huge fan of the Neo Geo as well. I had a friend whose parents bought one for him for Christmas 1993. I have had a lot of experience with it since then and now own an AES and front loader CD as well (that is currently not working lol). My favorite game for this system is a really tough question to answer. I would have to go with KoF 2002.SVC Chaos would be second and Neo Turf Masters would be right behind that.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

2002 is my personal fav KOF but probably because it’s the first KOF I ever owned on AES

Glad to see you focusing more on the NeoGeo :) As for favourites it'S very hard to say: I've been playing the NeoGeo for 25 years now. Top Hunter, Metal Slug, samurai shodown, kizuna encounter, King of the Monsters 2, Soccer Brawl, Windajmmers, Last-Resort and Art of Fighting 2 are all games that I come back over and over. I have spent more time playing the NeoGeo AES than any other machine by far. I don't think that it's comparable to anything else and it will no doubt maintain its fans well into the future.

I love my Neo Geo - I'm so looking forward to this series AND best of all, it's running into December too - HELL YES!! This is going to be a fantastic ride. Ironically, I wasn't really sold on the Neo Geo until ports began turning up on the SEGA Saturn - starting with The King of Fighters '95 (which got a UK release) which completely blew me away !! I started collecting SNK hardware seriousy in 2014, after a lucky find of a VERY cheap Neo Geo CD toploader locally along with a few games. These days I'm all in with my Neo Geo CD, AES, MVS, Hyper Neo Geo 64 and Neo Geo pocket color. (I'll try not to ramble too much as this series goes on, but it'll be tough). Also - Not biased. 😉

Great video! Ive got the same 3 consoles except my CD is a top loader of course because they are much easier to find. I actually got it for free because in the mid 2000s, people couldn't give them away let alone sell them. There's a fix for the later serial revision AES jailbars on RGB issue. I did it and it looks incredible. You do sacrifice composite input in the fix but I would never use composite on a Neo Geo unless I had no other options.

This is going to be an amazing series (as always). The first time I played a Neo Geo game was at a truck stop which had 2020 Super Baseball (I don't recall what other games the cab might have had, but I only had time to play 2020), and I was in love. And, once I got a chance to play Samurai Shodown repeatedly, well, I knew the Neo Geo was absolutely something special. Such an iconic system with an amazing library of games. I still have a special place for 2020 Super Baseball in my heart, though my top 5 favorite Neo Geo games are Samurai Shodown II, Fatal Fury 3, Neo Turf Masters, Mark of the Wolves, and Baseball Stars 2 though I love plenty of others.

I have a top loader (not the Z) and I added a region switch for language selection to the back. Seeing as the CD games generally carry both NA and JP dialog and region aspects. I recently got the JP AES as well and one of those 161-1 carts. sure some of the games are janky but the legit ones play great.

Mister and groovymame measured 2 frames for that one. Neo geo was off more than others.
