bloody wicked console.. you can also buy the neo geo pocket which is the same hardware but looks like a gameboy.. was selling a few year back when the GBA came out so have a look for that as well might be cheaper

DanRSturbo

Couldn't you only buy it as a Jap import ?

I think you can get neo geo emulators and roms

creedy

I had one of them

i got mine fromm japan about 2 months before it came out over here.

much better than the gameboy, but not as many games

Fil

I think you can too, well ive got the lot!

lunatixantix

I've got mine kicking about the house somewhere, been meaning to sell it lol just taking up space now

Fil

and i belive you can get neo geo emulators for the psp

M.A.D.RST

All im after is the cartridge console and cd console

They made three different versions of the cart system,
Jap
Usa
european

Jap was the best as it played all games at there full speed and show all blood and stuff and played everyones games.
Usa was the same but didnt show blood and stuff and only played us games.
Euro was crap, it played the games at a slower speed and showed no blood and stuff and only played euro games.

But you could and can chip the system to play all games and show all blood.

i remember seeing r-type on it when it cam out overhere in the late 80's and being amazed by the grpahics compared to the sega master system

Šhatter Box

i was just talking about this last night to my m8 he has just got the cd one. games r still going for 100 pounds it was out at the times to take on the snes

Fil

R-type LEO i think,

on the 44" screen oh yes

Rippers

I have three of the arcade game boards one being a multiboard version which has been converted to a console which you play on the TV. It also runs a chip that allows the game to be either Jap/Eur or USA which is usful as you can turn the blood on in some games which is missing in the USA games along with the boob bounce
Got about 40 games inc Metal Slug 1-5 inc the X version aswell
My favorite Neo Geo games are Magical Drop 3 and Wind Jammers.

...... I'll go and get my anorak and leave

Rippers

BTW R-type was never on the Neo Geo there was a very simular game called Pulstar with a sequel called Blazing Star both games had some of the R-Type staff work on them

M.A.D.RST

Jim Galbally

BM08

Cheers for that

Shame its such small playing area though!

My fave arcade games were Gauntlet, Alien Syndrome, Sega Rally, Guerilla War, Ridge Racer and perhaps Slap Fight too.

Good times

Rippers

In the Arcade R-type, R-type 2 and R-type Leo where made by Irem and later released on Megadrive, Master system and SNES.
I liked R-type but prefered Gradius/LifeForce/Salamander/Parodius as I've always been a Konami fanboy
Paperboy was wicked I had it on my NES back in the day the 3D angle was so funky always used to fook up on the ramps at the end The arcade version had proper handle bars check it out:

Paul i think you need to organise a Streetfighter night!!

Rippers

Sounds good not sure if I'll invite my Chinese friend as I wouldn't mind winning a few bouts

Franco

iTrader: (2)

Streetfighter + Beer =
No praticing though you, i'd like to beat you at least once!!

I wouldn't mind getting a megadrive again just for R-Type

Rippers

If my memory serves me correctly Rippy was good at SF2 aswell

Franco

iTrader: (2)

Make sure you invite some shitters then!!

Fraz

Remember NeoGeo well, wish I never sold mine.

R-Type what a game, best version came on the PC-Engine which was arcade perfect

Rippers

The PC-Engine rocked did you have splatter house

BM08

Who remembers the moves?

My best and most visually amazing move was the spinning piledriver using zangief(spelling)

Steven_RW

Alien Syndrome arcade machine cool!

" BIG TIME "

I was brought up on all these games aswell. I'd love to have a massive collection of all the arcade machines but I'd have to be minted to afford em!
