The Official NEO-GEO Thread!


Recommended Posts

It's got a higher serial number, 265847. I know the earlier ones are supposed to be better but I don't really plan on modding it or anything. And yes it's Japanese. Eventually I'm going to get a Magic Key convertor which should take care of both the region select and being able to also play MVS games.

That's excellent to hear Alex. Glad we were able to help as best we could for you. If you need any further assistance, you're welcome to drop by any time to post your questions that you would like to be answered.

 

Enjoy your Neo-Geo! :)

Hi guys,

 

This afternoon, we have a video from WikiAudio in regards of the history of the Neo-Geo. An interesting video. Didn't know that Wiki was on YouTube! The voice simulator is annoying though.

 

For some reason, the video won't show up on the thread. It jus links you to their video.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5GwdnTfkWo.

 

From the description,

 

"The Neo Geo (Japanese: ネオジオ, Hepburn: Neojio?) is a cartridge-based arcade system board and home video game console released on April 26, 1990 by Japanese game company SNK. Although it is a member of the fourth generation of video game consoles, it is the first system in the Neo Geo family, which ran throughout the 1990s before being revived in December 2012 with the Neo Geo X handheld and home system. The MVS (Multi Video System), as the Neo Geo is known to the coin-operated arcade game industry, offers owners the ability to put up to six different arcade titles into a single cabinet, a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace. With its games stored on self-contained cartridges, a game cabinet can be exchanged for a different game title by swapping the game's ROM-cartridge and cabinet artwork. The platform's popular series include Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown. The Neo Geo system is also a notably costly and technologically uncompromised home console, commonly referred to today as the AES (Advanced Entertainment System). The Neo Geo was marketed as 24-bit, though it is technically a parallel processing 16-bit 68000-based system with an 8-bit Z80 coprocessor. Neo Geo hardware production lasted seven years, discontinued in 1997; and game software production lasted fourteen years, discontinued in 2004. As of March 1997, the Neo Geo had sold 980,000 units worldwide. In 2009, the Neo Geo was ranked 19th out of the 25 best video game consoles of all time by the video game website IGN. There is an amateur and professional commercial homebrew market for the system."

Hi guys,

 

This morning, I felt we should watch a past Neo-Geo video that was posted previously on the Neo-Geo thread. The history of the Neo-Geo by the good people at "Famicom Dojo" was an excellent upload filled with informative information on the Neo, and with quirky laughs to enjoy as well. Here the video once more!..
