Charlie_ Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Neo has a bunch of fighters (World Heroes is my favorite series!) but there are lots of shooters, beat 'em ups and puzzle games on the Neo-Geo that makes it worth having even if you don't like fighters.

I think the system is worth it just for Crossed Swords World Heroes series I love (especially 2 Jet) I also like playing "The Super Spy" and thought that was a true technological breakthrough in a first person prospective for its time in 1990. I've been trying to get the carton box version for a while. But the Japanese sellers are the only ones I see that supply them and the S&H that they want (with the product cost) from Japan is high. Crossed Swords is another great game that I need to play again. Its about 5 years since I played in on the MVS & AES. Too bad I don't have CSII for the Neo Geo CD! Anthony...

I have only one carton box in my collection, it is Ghost Pilots. One of my favorite games, I realize it isn't a spectacular game, but the graphics are solid and mindless shooting can be fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to go to a Dairy Queen in Paramus, NJ in the early-mid 1990s to play this game and spent like 7 dollars in quarters in co-op mode. Such a great game. Try Viewpoint. Its my brothers second favorite game on the Neo-Geo. He spend almost an equal amount of time and money on this title. Anthony...

Purchased it new at EB for my AES. I remember going to the lobby of the movie theatre in the Middlesex Mall, South Plainfield NJ. We would play Baseball Stars, Ghost Pilots, and Magician Lord on the MVS cabinet. They also has a nice Dragon's Lair machine! Are you still in NJ? I'm in central NJ, Middlesex county. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few MVS carts, for my cab and the Super Converter II. I have Andro Dunos I like to play, but that is on my 108 multicart so I hardly use the original anymore. I see in your profile you are from The Bronx. I was born there. Lived there a few years too after we moved back from Jersey to my fathers parents home. Was a kid at the time, but grew up spending every holiday (along with any other excuse to be) in The Bronx. On Hone Ave. off of Morris Park Ave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm close by in Pelham Bay near the 6 line subway. I go on Williamsbridge Rd to eat at Pasta Pasta on Saturday and stop at Conti's Pastry shop to get pastries on Sunday! I also pick up sub sandwiches at Ann Clair for the Super Bowl and New Years.I nice to see your from the Bronx! Yeah. after the 161-in-1 cartridge, I hardly use the older versions anymore. Andro Dunos is fun to play. Later for today, I'm going to play Cyber-Lip for the AES system. I have the carton box version on this one. Anthony...

I couldn't get the MVS version out because it was somewhere in my room. Played it for three hours and still surprised on why they didn't have a AES release for it! Fun game no doubt Anthony...

METAL SLUG X (I died laughing whenever you turn into a zombie or get super fat) Man, Blazing Star and Pulstar are amazing shooters. But the prices on them for the AES are over $1,000 bucks! MVS has better pricing on them (noticeably with Blazing Star) The CD version of Pulstar are going up in price (I notice as of late) . Too bad that Blazing Star wasn't on the CD! The Real Bout series was very good and have those on the AES. Made a BIG difference in Fatal Fury by far! Metal Slug X was made to help fix the problems they had in MS2! My favorite is when you get Marco to fall asleep and the bubble comes out of his nose! Anthony... Edited May 11, 2014 by fdurso224 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorussell Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I guess the slowdown was the biggest issue. They made some cosmetic changes to X, and made it more difficult. Plus, you can fat in more stages than just Stage 4, as in MS2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, you can fat in more stages than just Stage 4, as in MS2. That's true on the cosmetic, slow down, and challenge issues. Its a better version than MS2 with the correct tweaks to it. The price for a Metal Slug X really went up for the AES over $1,000 now (like most of the MS series)!. The good news is the MVS version is still around the $100 bucks range and widely available on Ebay. Anthony...

If you need to hold back on these two games, that's fine. Both are common and widely available on ebay! Many times I see games like these two at a good price and walk away happy handed. So no need to rush into them. All good things come to those that wait! Anthony... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating- and especially that it is "only" listed at $4,000! I first heard about that title on Racketboy's (now grossly out of date) article on the subject: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/snkneo-geo/the-rarest-and-most-valuable-neo-geo-games Factoring in seller's fees to Ebay and it is almost as if whoever posted that auction actually used the Racketboy pricing. Perhaps they did... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
