Been selling on eBay since 2009. If I dare spend $1600 in games at once my wife will kick me to the curb. Even at the height of my collecting days I doubt I ever spent more than 400-500 on any given month, and that was a big exception already worthy of “the look” from the missus. 1600 us$ were enough to cover 1.5y of purchasing … I bought very few expensive games (the most expensive one was separate purchase of panzer dragoon saga disc 2,3,4 in one lot for 200 then chase disc 1 for about 2y for 70 … in the meantime I was using the pal demo disc for disc 1 which I got for 15 [need an AR cheat code for it to work off region] … to this day I have no box nor manual or artwork for it, just the 4 discs, heck I got a Saturn floppy drive for 100 and then chased the fdd operator disc for 8mo and got it for 30 … and yes panzer dragoon saga can save directly to floppy [what a silly way to find out]). I believe the purchase of the neosdpro was also quite controversial with the missus … got put in the dog house for a little there, of course had to sell the neosd non pro bought 1y or more earlier or so and the magic key mvs2aes adapter purchased a couple years prior to use the banana cart 161in1 … that helped during the expiation process Edited June 4 by phoenixdownita 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough… I like more the playing than the collecting hence why I rely on flashcarts or burnt or MiSTer … I do have 50 some originals between DC and Saturn (could have just been Ngcd) and quite a few more for later systems, but outside of a bookshelf full of discs I don’t quite see the appeal anymore. The flashcarts are just so much cheaper and convenient. Edited June 4 by phoenixdownita 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I ever played the title was at a local Dairy Queen in the State of New Jersey when it debuted. Was very impressed by the backgrounds and made me curious at Japanese society with their shopping centers and urban lifestyles. Still have fun playing this brawler. Glad you had the chance to enjoy this one Shane. I love it. Anthony.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just buy the Dreamcast version first, @Charlie CatWhat about you? Hi Mike, Well... Gladmort is like a 7 out of 10 at this point for me. The game looks amazing for an indie title. The colors, backgrounds and details are it's strong points. But my problem is that the gameplay doesn't seem impressive enough and it's just bare basic . What I mostly see is simple running, jumping, hit a few enemies and usual generic slashing. I personally believe more could be done, but for a small group that's developing a game for the Neo-Geo, I give them so much credit on doing so. But more definitely can be done with it. If they postpone it's release date and concentrate towards the game more, it would really be to their benefit for sure. Do I want it for the Neo-Geo? Yes.... But more can be offered for it that I feel they are rushing this product to be available to the public too soon. And since the Kickstarter turned out to be a huge success, it's all the more reasons to use the funds to develop the game better than it already is.

I didn’t sleep on the couch that night, but if we had a doghouse- I probably would have been sleeping in that instead. Lol I have pre-orders for a couple of Neo CD games from PixelHeart, but they were very cheap. I bought Breakers and Neo Drift. Breakers has been shipped, but Neo Drift is still unreleased. Issues maybe? 🤷 Oh! If you like Laserdisc games, the Taito LD Collection is out for Switch. It comes with Time Gal, Ninja and some shooter completely remastered.

Madwindoman Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 7 hours ago, ColecoGamer said: I’ve pre-ordered 4 MVS games: Deamon Claw, Super Bubble Pop (received), Knight’s Chance and Vengence Hunters. That’s $1600USD so far. Gladmort seems nice, but it seems to be missing something. People have said the hero looks a little bland and needs a cape. I believe they should redo the entire hero sprite and add more detail. I know its time consuming and all that, but presentation is everything in a Neo Geo game, which is why I redrew everything in Sensitivity. Now I’m worried about the attract screen looking nice. It’s a fun but stressful job! I can relate man. I’ve preordered project neon/final vendetta/knights chance. And I’m using Canadian funds. I don’t mind spending big bucks on a neo geo game as long as I feel I’m gonna get my moneys worth. That means a game has to have a whole lot of replayability to keep me coming back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glazball Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Hi friends - I've been trying to get the newish emulator Geolith up and running. The documentation says it needs 2 BIOS files: aes.zip and neogeo.zip. I cannot seem to find aes.zip anywhere! Does anyone happen to have it and could share it? You could post it in this thread as an attachment or pm me. Thanks in advance! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidiot1981 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Several years ago I ordered an AES game from NG DEV and had somewhat forgotten about it. It finally arrived and I can now say I'm the proud owner of Kraut Buster! It's truly a thing of beauty. From the gorgeous graphics and silky smooth animation to the incredible soundtrack I'm digging this with a shovel. It borrows heavily from Metal Slug but that's fine by me as I love the Metal Slug games. I have to say that the NG DEV team knocked it out of the park with this one imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought everyone got their orders years ago. Well, at least you have it. My issue with NGDEV team is how they keep their pre-orders limited. I never seem to find a chance to buy anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next on their release list is Neo Drift, which is another expensive Neo Geo Cd game. I could be wrong, but the chances of PixelHeart re-releasing Metal Slug 1 & 2 for Neo Geo CD is quite good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I don't know if anyone here remembers Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings, but Video System called their US branch Mc O'River. Guess they did it just to stand out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 So I'm trying out one of those fake NGPC games from aliexpress tonight. That's a console I assumed there'd never be bootlegs for. I never noticed until I got the pocket, but some ngp games save to cart--I'd always assumed they all saved to battery-backed system ram running off the rtc battery--meaning save-games might really be a concern on these fakes, not sure yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they did it just to stand out. I know the games as in number 2 and number 3 but never seen the first. I finished them via unibios cheats just to see how imaginative the devs were. One of them (2 or 3 can’t remember) if set to eu region is brutally hard (hardwired to 8 and ignores any difficulty switch settings, I struggle already on the first level with the moveable Eiffel-ish tower robot thingy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
