I forgot to add that the first game I played was Art of Fighting and thought how huge and awesome the characters looked.

What Neo-Geo games do you want to see on the Virtual Console? Why?

More importantly, could another console like the Neo-Geo ever exist? I'm leaning towards no.

How crappy was the World Heroes series? Seriously.

Also, which arcade cabinets did you see more often growing up?

The single game standard cabinet? or the multi-game "i've got a memory card slot" versions?

In the midwest, I actually saw the 4 game versions more often, which I thought was kind of bizarre since I could barely even find neo-geo systems for sale much less anyone who owned one.

I never owned a NeoGeo machine, but I played the hell outta the arcade games. Their fighters, especially King of Fighters, were my favorite of any fighters, 2D or 3D... and they still are.

The reason I say this is because the story behind King of Fighters was always epic in so many ways. I felt that even though each "saga" had their main characters, every character has a back story and contribution of the current story worthy of a RPG. I mean, seriously, almost every character had enough detail to where you wanted to find out about all of them in one form or another and why they were there in the first place. As you can tell, I love me some KoF (I could live without the 3D KoFs though...).

No disrespect to Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, or any other fighters out there cuz I have fun with a majority of them as well, but you guys have to admit that the story behind many of the King of Fighters "Sagas" and a majority of their fighters have a lot more detail than just simple "revenge" motives like most other fighting games do. If I can hear anyone admit this on tonights show, I could die a happier man.

I'm so sorry... my laptop was crapping out momentarily and I guess it posted it about 4 time... again... soooo sorry.

But, as an actual question, if you guys had to pick any NeoGeo game (that wasn't a fighter) to remake to something epic for current gen consoles (I mean Final Fantasy 6/7 storyline epic), what Neo Geo gem would it be?

If you could have one neo geo cab in your house, and it was a three game model, which three games would you want in it?

Also, did any of you actually KNOW someone who had a machine at there house and if so, how many of those freaking expensive games did they have for it?

@BovineD

Second the more talkie talkie of Stella!

I know I'm too late with my comments, but...I'd love Neo-Geo as well if either my parents or those of anyone I knew could afford the thing! I mean, you'd have to be the kid from Silver Spoons or Richie Rich for your parents to spring for that stuff!

remember neo geo intro music on old games all way through latest games. giga power

Are we allowed to talk about the Neo Geo Pocket? I have one of those and it has pretty much the best portable analog stick ever. It has some great games too.

Do you remember how expensive the Neo Geo consoles were though!? I didn't know anyone that owned one, so I experienced most of the games at the arcade.

Also, is it just me or is Samurai Shodown 2 pretty much the best thing ever?

Neo Geo is the love my life. I may start crying listening to this episode. Speaking of crying. It is what I do when I see how awesome King of Fighters XII looks like it is going to be.

Important questions!!!

Magical Drop 3 is the greatest puzzle game ever Yes/no? (If you answer no we are no longer friends)

Which Metal Slug is your favorite? (Mine is 3 followed by 1)

As great as the KoF, Samurai Shodown, Last Blade, Metal Slug and Fatal Fury series are.......Please talk about some more obscure games like Ninja Masters, Magical Drop 3, Twinkle Star Sprites, Blazing Star, Shock Troopers, Crossed Swords, Nam 1975, League Bowling, Kizuna Encounter, Nightmare in the Dark, Waku Waku 7, Money Puzzle Exchanger etc. etc.

Have any of you guys played a Hyper Neo Geo 64. (SNK hardware from the late 90s. Only 7 games produced) The games are really amazing no?

When is Stella coming back to Baltimore so we can reignite our Samurai Shodown and Last Blade Rivalries. :D

Topher want to come over tomorrow and play Neo Geo? :):):)

OMG SO EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE!!!

Sorry for the triple post......

But some memories are flooding back.

1990 the Columbia mall Babbages. They had NAM 1975 playing on the TVs, The Neo Geo and the six available games behind the counter. It was like some unattainable pedestal of gaming. I had read about it in EGM. The arcade at home. It was to good to be true.

1991 Magician lord at the bowling alley in Ellicott City. It was so hard and it took so many quarters from me. I loved every second of it. Playing the game on that big red machine that we all know on sight.

1993 Flickers arcade in Chatamn Mall. The first time I played Samurai Shodown. The first SS character I ever played was Gen-an.

2001 I got my first Neo cabinet. A beat up conversion cabinet I bought off of ebay. The screen would go out sometimes and you would have to hit it to make it work. I still loved her. Many other cabs and home systems to follow.

2003 When I was in Japan I walked around Osaka till I found the SNK headquarters and the famous arcade across the street.....Neo Geo Land. An entire arcade filled with Neo Geo cabinets including 4 50 inch cabs. It was the greatest arcade ever. Sadly they closed Neo Geo land a couple of years ago. :(

Today I own several cabs multiple, home systems and 40-50 carts.

I love Neo Geo. Shit. I'm getting a little misty. I'm going to go hump.....HUG one of my cabs.

......SNK 4 EVER!!!!

The Neo Geo is good, but it ain't that good.

Craptastic, I missed the cutoff.

the stick on the neo geo pcoket is totaly digtal and clicky.

it only has 4 ways with possible 8 direction postions like a street fighter 2 arcade cabinet joystick there is nothing analog about it.

it is a replacement for a D-pad and fighting game arcade sticks not analog controls.


it will not register anything other than the 4 digital x-y postions,

@RobotFart + @Char Aznable :

That's not a controller - it's an x-ray imaging machine that turns whatever you face it towards into a boss. As you can see, here are the results when you aim it towards your crotch...Bubbly-PenisMan!
