Neo Geo

Ok a few weeks ago I was lead to a music video by Keith Apicary.  Now I have never really played a Neo Geo and would like to know more. It's crazy as I can only think of the the Lyrics Neo Geo Neo Geo.  It's driving me MAD.

Here is a link to the song that I can't get out my head.

Also if Keith is a member I would really like to chat with him. Seems like a pretty cool guy

    He posts over at racketboy.com fairly often under his real name which is Nathan Barnett. He is a cool guy and that song is amazing! You should check out some of the other videos on his youtube channel. There are a few gems in there.


  • Cool thanks
  • The Neo Geo was by far, the most powerful 16-bit machine of the time. It held up very well, even as far as early PS2 years, which was around 2002-2003! However, the major hurdle in it's success was it's incredibly steep price tag, and has only gotten pricier with each passing day. Understandable since this was basically a home arcade machine, and Neo Geo arcade cartridges will work on it. While incredibly powerful, it wasn't as advanced as the SNES, which it could not do certain effects as well as it could, such as rotation or transparencies.



    That's the gist of it, and there's more to it than that.

    You ovbiously didnt click the link did you?
  • Does anyone know why the Neo Geo home cart system was, and continues to be so costly?

    It cost so much at first becuase it was an arcade in concole form which is just awesome. Supply and demand is what keeps the cost high, especially for some of the more popular games like Metal Slug.
  • I just need to point out a few things that are absolutely untrue so far:



    1). The Neo AES is a 24-bit system, not 16

    2). You cannot play the "arcade carts" on an AES without a converter



    But to answer the OP question - Neo collecting is popular and expensive because your dick grows an inch after your first AES purchase, and it grows 2 inches after you spend over $1,000 on an AES cart

    I knew I was missing out on something by only buying the cheaper AES carts. I'll definitely have to invest in some $1k+ carts now. Is it 2" per cart or just a one time deal
  • Also, what happens if your a female AES collector?

    Well, the chick in the video is pretty hot for the five seconds she's in it. I guess I'd just tape that shit to the side and call it good?



    When I get my MVS in the mail, I might just have to lay down that rap extremely intoxicated. I seriously love this fucking guy.

    Yes, that is untrue. It's 16-bit. If you call the Neo Geo 24-bit, so is the Genny, and SNES too.

    Can you ever back up your statements with facts? Or do you think everyone just believes you because you seem to know it all?



    ". The Neo Geo was marketed as 24-bit, though it was technically a parallel processing 16-bit system with an 8-bit Zilog Z80 as coprocessor."
  • What even more amazing is how close the Genesis hardware and Neo Geo hardware are.





    I miss my AES never should have sold it.

    Here's the 16-bit systems processors, if you don't believe me:



    Neo Geo: 16-bit 68K and 8-bit Z80 as a coprocessor.



    Sega Genesis: 16-bit 68K with 8-bit Z80 as a coprocessor. Same processors as the neo geo.



    SNES: 16-Bit 65816 with an 8-bit processor called the SPC700 as its coprocessor.



    So with this said, is this enough to approve of my post yet?
  • I'm not hyped on the technical jargon but why does the neo geo shit look so much better? Is it something to do with the size of the carts allowing more storage? I mean these things look arcade quality (Hell, they were arcade quality in the day), my question is what makes it so?
