AES collecting (or: I hope you brought your wallet)

I got my AES system about two months ago. So far I've got:

- Fatal Fury 2 (Jap). It came with the system.
- Blue's Journey
- Magician Lord
- Cyber-Lip

Yeah, I know that MVS is cheaper, but I don't have the space for a cabinet. I plan to get a Phantom converter later on, after I get all the older, cheap AES carts that I need. AES is just so cool. I love the oversized carts and the huge Neo controllers. The older games aren't that expensive either. It's the newer ones that'll kill ya.

After I complete my AES collection, I'll tackle all those great MVS carts, like Blazing Star and Shock Troopers.

Funny that I love the Neo so much. I'm not a real fan of fighting games, and though many people don't know it, there are a bunch of good shmups, platformers, and action games for it.

I can't wait until I can afford to dip into the Neo scene.

Being a college student and all I just can't flip it right now. I am still amazed at how Nash manages to afford it and he is in college to.

Only a year left of school...Then I too will be posting my thoughts on the Neo scene.

Good Luck with it all Melf...

im hoping this summer i get a neo geo really really hoping

A bunch? Wha?

Blue's Journey, Magician Lord, and Cyber Lip are three titles I'd love to own, I imagine they're quite cheap too.
Simple matter of fact, Neo Geo is out of my league, I spend waaaaaay too much on games already. *-neo

neoalphazero,
Those three can be had for rather cheap(under $50 a piece). Magician Lord was one of the factors that made me take the plunge with a Neo. Metal Slug 3 being the other.

Remember, you can play the MVS games on your AES system with a Phantom converter. I plan on getting one later on. I'm not a fighter fan, but the Neo has more than enough to offer. :)

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of titles. I left out some quiz games, Mahjong games, and all the sports titles. It's amazing just how many puzzle games the Neo has!

Well, Actually, Windjammers is freesbee competition game. But very fun game at that :)

Congrats Melf on your Neo Geo addition. Its definately great system to own :) I only wish I had money to afford all the new games like MS3&4 and KOF2K1 :)

Nice to hear that you're pleased with your NeoGeo, Melf.

I also got my AES system 2 months ago and haven't gotten anything for it yet. I'm getting the Phantom-1 once I finish up my 8, 16, and 32 bit libraries (almost done).

I have decided to get MVS carts ONLY- I want my $$ to go the furthest I can get it. Plus, I am interested almost exclusively in fighters on NeoGeo, with MS and Magical Drop being the few exceptions.

Are there any notable games that are AES only? The only one I know off hand is Samurai Spirits RPG...

The only AES I own so far is Metal Slug 3 and I don't plan on jumping into any more $250+ purchases anytime soon.
