In all my life, I've never seen an English art version of Buriki One before VGE. I mean, NEVER! This happens to be the first time I witness anything like it before. Amazing...Simply amazing. Where did to obtain this for the collection bro?

Hi guys,

 

Back with our pal @BettyHordeClinic. We haven't seen a video from Big Bill in a while. So let's see him in action playing Viewpoint for the Sega Mega Drive/genesis. Enjoy. :)

 

From the description,

"Viewpoint[a] is an isometric-scrolling shooter arcade game developed by Aicom and originally released in 1992 by Sammy and SNK for the Neo Geo hardware family. It was met with a highly positive critical response upon release for its cutting-edge visuals and hip hop-influenced soundtrack, though later ports for the Sega Genesis and Sony PlayStation saw much more mixed reviews."

I'm pretty jazzed today. I've got another handmade neo stick coming in (off of ebay), for a pretty good price. I wasn't going to buy it but then I got an discount offer ($49+shipping), and started looking into its history/origin--maybe to the point where it started feeling a little like mild cyber-stalking. 🤣

 

The sticks a bit different than my usual style, with a project-box case, Japanese controls, and an astro city(?) layout.

But I really like a good story, so even though I don't have this thing yet, here's what I know of the story:

 

Ebay pics.

Quote

"Hand Built By Benj Edwards. Serial #1. BX-108 Neo. 2019"

 

So who is Benj Edwards?  Currently one of Ars Technica's writers (and several other outlets), with a story right on the front page today:

(embiggen)                                                                                                                 (embiggen page snap)

 

Also defunct pages at Vintagecomputing.combenjedwards.com, and probably most importantly bxfoundry.com 

And (Twitter), which is apparently where these were sold initially. 

Also...checking the '@' function...he's a member here on AA, but with no posts, so @BenjEdwards

 

So that leaves us looking at the history of the 'BX' line, carefully snipped and reassembled from the waback machine of vintagecomputing.com, along with twitter posts giving us an idea on pricing from an SNES one, as well as the custom board inside it. I also notice by 2021 he'd switched from hand-signing the bottom, to a sticker. Also not sure if he bothered with a custom board for mine--it'd keep things neater, but there's no need for electronics in a neo controller, so its usefulness would be limited to cable-management. It'll be fun to see once it arrives here.

 

SNES twitter advert:

Pricing seems to have been in the $200-250 range

 

I also recall back in the day this mention of a benj virtual boy stick at retrorgb. Huh, who'd guess a stick from this guy would ever wind up in my collection of hand built neo geo controllers. I bought it from 'Retro Reclaimation' on ebay, which seems to sell estate/thrift-shop kinds of things, so maybe an unhappy ending for the original owner. Other hand made neo sticks in my collection posted to this thread: the Butteroj stick, MAS Stick, and my own Colt 45 stick.

 

Some other BX sticks, the robotron one looks fun.

Hi Reaper,

 

Man, I have to say that this stick is really nice. I really think that it's a perfect size controller that I need to have in my collection. Looks interesting on the background of the builder Reaper. I agree, the Robotron looks like a great one for sure. :)

Hi guys,

 

Chipsonsteroids the makers of "Neotris" has mentioned that they will be developing another Neo-Geo game soon. Here's what they mentioned on their Facebook page.

 

 

https://www.facebook.com/Chipsonsteroids

 

totologic | Arcade-Projects Forums Chipsonsteroids 1h

 

Gladmort (code name: Dance of Death), a new Neo Geo game, will be tested on its Alpha version during STUNFEST 2023 in Rennes, France. Come meet us at the NeoGeoFans stand, from 19th to 21st May

 

For now we prefer to keep the gameplay visuals a secret until Stunfest. The game logo is also temporary.

FYI, music is a part of the game (Stef Sirrah is our songwriter) In other news, so I'm well in partnership with Pixel Heart for game development

Another Neo-Geo game? Damn!!

Ooh interesting Super Spy on the phone app, that's a unique one along with Crossed Swords too whenever that hits.  The whole idea of having a terrain to move around and take shots at stuff first person with fists, guns, swords, magic all good.

Hahaha. I agree Tanooki. I love The Super Spy. My father enjoys playing this game even 33 years later. :)
