Strange | 1,700 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Atari Jaguar. The cost of the console is a lot compared to other systems that I’d likely use more often, so it’s hard for me to justify. The games also rarely show up in my area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsped09 | 223 Moderator · Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 TurboGrafx. I had it when I was younger. I just never got lucky coming across much hunting. I have a few game and the TurboExpress, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrslam | 474 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 NeoGeo MVS and/or AES. This is the only major console that I never, in many years of searching, found in the wild. Never saw an AES cart and only once did I come upon a handful of MVS carts. I've seen plenty in game stores and at conventions, but never anywhere else.

Homeboyks | 30 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 For me it would also be the NeoGeo AES. Loved the old metal slug arcade games and having them on a home console that is as powerful as the arcade machine would be amazing. As cool as MVS is, I'd want to go the AES route as the "official" home console option. The price brings me back down to earth whenever i think about it though.

twiztor | 848 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 my answer was the 32x, but it was my collecting focus last year and i finished up the library. something about those oddball unloved systems with the small libraries just appeals to me.

I'm not a big fan of mini consoles, though, because you can't build your own legit library for them outside of what's pre-loaded. Plus, half the appeal of the Neo Geo is the massive original carts and arcade sticks. It's a lot like the Vectrex that way - the form-factor is one of the coolest features. -CasualCart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronmjr | 52 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Game Gear for me. I had one as a kid and loved it so much. I'd read all about new games in Sega Visions and only ever acquired 12 or so games while it was still current. My original Game Gear needs work, and since I can't play any of my games right now my motivation for buying more is not there. Maybe someday.

MisterGoomba | 132 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I just recently started collecting for the Vectrex and I dont even own the system. Once in a bluemoon I might get a cheap AES game for the NEO-GEO even thought I used to own one with over 10 titles. Started recollecting after I sold it. Im trying to now go after a complete Atari 5200 and N64 set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp1nz | 611 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Definitely Vectrex for me. I have had bad experiences with people shipping heavier hardware, so not really keen on searching for a Vextrex unit online. Maybe someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorkOverlord | 679 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Neo Geo and Game Gear. Neo Geo is more due to the price barrier, but I have no excuse for not collecting Game Gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Geo strong | 68 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Atari Jaguar, I really like the version of wolfenstein the jag got. Especially that the soilders shout ACHTUNG instead of halt or stop. Also the game looks like it runs faster then the pc version. However i only want like 4 of the games so I can’t justify it.

The AES is unbelievable, true arcade experience at home. Plus the games are huge and have 2 boards in them super cool. a couple of cheaper games I’d recommend samurai showdown ( also called samurai spirts in Japan), nam 1975, fatal fury special, and if you like shooters check out alpha mission ii!

That's the way I'll go when I eventually decide to pull the trigger. Along with the games you mentioned, I'll need to get Magician Lord and Ninja Combat. They were two of my favorites at the local arcade growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is both of those games are pretty affordable. I wish you luck finding one! I know it seems like a lot of cash but I feel it’s totally worth it. They also sell Neo Geo flash carts which I recommend called the Neo SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, you're drinking the kool aid on that one. If someone even bothered to just apply the rocket cable update by those bunglers at Tommo the system actually seems to handle just a little bit better than that wretched Mini SNK put out last year which is just even horrible to consider the fact SNK screwed it up on their own. Now, to really make the mini look terrible, one just has to go with the aftermarket fixes by smart coders placing a properly repaired emulator/patches to the device and it actually can and will perform quite nicely.

Loxx O))) | 8 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 For me its GameBoy, I think. I've started one. It's a console I played a little but found appreciation for because of NA and the contests. I think I have around 30 games now? Currently awaiting Might Morphin Power Rangers. The surprise for me is N64. I never really liked it but a few months back I hooked one up to my Trinitron and started messing around. I think my collection has doubled since and, again, I'm awaiting a PR game to come in. Currently I'm still obsessed with F-Zero X. Always loved it as a kid but let a friend borrow it. The douche never gave it back. Got a new copy in Seattle like 2 months ago. Trying to do ever race with every car on every difficulty. Mixing that with stationary bike pedals. According to its flawed calculation I'm up to 600cals burned tonight. Good mindless fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to collect for Saturn but mostly prices out. always wanted a NEoGeo Throughout the year there have been a cheap run of consolized MVS machines that have been sold online that originally popped up through aliexpress. Basically some Chinese group bought a huge huge batch of 1 slot arcade board kits and they created their own printed plastic shells and added the necessary connections so it can work off a TV. The price is quite affordable and they work nicely with that really cheap 161in1 cart so you can experience a large chunk of the library. It might be an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe SNK to be now owned by a Chinese company, so they might even be 'licensed' consoles - admittedly am not sure about these as I haven't purchased one.

The Jaguar has always intrigued me. I know the game selection is bad and the consoles are not the most reliable, on top of that they are expensive. But something about the system has always grabbed my attention since the 90s. Maybe it was the badass boxart for the console. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
