The Neo Geo Thread

Do you speak/read Japanese? Sam Sho RPG would be so cool to play.

So I'm curious, ebay seems to be an unstable bust considering what I have here, but I've got Super Dodgeball for MVS, it's not loose, it's realistically not complete either as I don't have the lame cardboard box and bubble bag, but the rest is there, the good stuff and in a shockbox.

HOw does one determine the value of something that doesn't have something to go by other than loose carts being $300 and a complete kit not selling for like $800?

My advice is see what the art, or similarly rare art, sells on its own then just combine them with a slight premium?

Hey guys, been reading this thread, lots of great stories :). Was wondering if anyone had a loose US copy of Magician Lord for the NEO GEO AES for sale, if anyone does pm me. Thank you.

Well I think that may be one of the fewer remaining cases of a game where the MVS release costs more than the AES home copy of the game.  Then again I think that one was a pack-in option so maybe that's why, just like NAM 1975.

 

Fairly recently I got a sweet sort of deal out of ebay adding another game to my list, The Super Spy.  Nothing too remarkable but if you can free play quarter feed it, the game is quite fun if you're in the mood.  A nice first person title where you can just pound on or stab targets, blast em if you can pick up a firearm.  It's pretty decent.  A sweet bonus happened though, for some reason the seller decided to within the box, use a free USPS mailer bag and inside ship the game in an original MVS World Heroes box with its bubble bag which is nuts.  I have that game, without the kit contents, so that was a sweet bonus.  Now to find the 2 art cards and dipswitch sheet and I'm set.

I've been on a beat em up kick lately. Just beat Streets of Rage 3 & 4. So I booted up Burning Fight for the first time in a while. Not a bad game! I like the variety of weapons and the mini bonus games inside the stores. The stage graphics are nice and highly detailed. The enemies look pretty goofy though. Its very tough and I can only get as far as the elevator stage on Normal difficulty. The SOR games are better for sure. They have way tighter gameplay and obviously better music (thanks Yuzo).

Here is an interesting comparison:

SOR 2: 16 MEG

SOR 3: 24 MEG

Burning Fight: 54 MEG

Burning Fight gets dumped on unfairly, demands some more respect as it's pretty good as a wannabe Final Fight of the NG world.  Sure you could do better with like Mutation Nation but not too many more with bare handed beat downs.

Yeah, I think it just gets crap because the other ones are so awesome.

"The Neo Geo version has seen hundreds of little refinements, additions, tweaks and improvements, not only its code, but also in terms of the graphics and sound. It’s been fully integrated with the Neo Geo hardware and software behaviours, and we hope you’ll agree that it genuinely feels like an original Neo Geo title!"

Sweet jams!

That Neo version does look nice, but it's a sizable cost for the MVS one which is a shame but understandable.  That 25% off is massive, takes it from like $430~USD shipped from GB, down like to around $320 and that's big.

I have recently acquired a few NeoGeo AES carts and some of them show glitches. I cleaned them thoroughly with alcohol but nothing changed. Could the cart be defective? If so is there somebody who can fix them?
