Neo Geo Support Officially Comes to an End

Melf, you should get your hands on the Super Converter II. Unlike the Phantom-1, it allows you to play all the newer games (Metal Slug 5, SvC: Chaos, Samurai Shodown V, etc.) as well.

I have an AES now with around 20 games, but with all the comps it's getting harder to justify keeping it.

You're absolutely right. You should sell your AES to me.

I currently have about half a dozen AES carts, a Phantom 1 converter, and a few dozen MVS games.

...and no system to play them on.

I spent about $200 on the converter, so I want to make use of it. I'm not a big fighting game fan (kind of screwed with a NG, I know), so I don't worry much about the newer games. I really want the side-scrollers and shmups mostly.

It's amazing that this thing recieved support for 17 years. I mean, 17 fucking years. In tech-years the Neo Geo is hundreds of years old.

In South America, it's bleeding edge technology!

I remember I traded an SFC ROM copier for an AES with a few games back in the day (1991 or so). Fortunately, Software ETC and Babbages were clearancing out their AES back catalog at that time. Can't beat buying brand new View Point for $49.99.

Nowadays I use a 1st gen AES with the Super MVS Convertor (sic) II as well as a CDZ for exclusive titles.

I have never played on an AES, heck, I'm not sure I've ever even touched one.

I always loved how the system looked and was designed though, the controller is just plain sexy.

Yoshi or Neoz should probably do a Neoz style thread in remembrance of the system.

Oh, I can't do a rememberance thread huh!?

I've got a neo*geo cab in my living room!? I've got pretty much all the good NGPC games!? I've written KoF FAQs!? I've got Kyos Sun and Ioris moon tattoo'd on my body!?

Just because I have never played an AES before I'm not qualified to make a rememberance thread, I see how it is!

So do one kidnemo.
I'm sure if you totally fuck it up and it sucks and it makes everyone of us who has ever played the fantastically fabulous neo geo want to rip our clothes off and tear out our hair and wail and moan, one of the monstrous mods around here will delete it and then neozeedeater can come in and save the day and make us all whole again.

[Kidnemo]

I didn't really want to do one anyway. >_>
