Neo-Geo AES

[CatchFiveBats]

I finally got the guts (and the luck) to buy one.  It cost me $300, and the game i bought with it (King of the Monsters) cost me $40.  The system is Japanese, so because of the region being within the system itself and not the games, most of the games I buy will be in Japanese.  I don't mind, though, they're arcade games, so it's not like there's going to be a lot of text to sift through.  I ran into a few problems when I first bought the system, as some of you know, but all is well now.  The pride of my collection is now sitting on a shelf next to my TV, and I will be basking in its glory for many years to come.

Hell.  Yes.

I have one as well and bought it with Samurai Spirits.  Mine is a US unit tho.  

Congrats.

I got one as well, granted I've had it for 5 months and I still don't own a single game for it.

Have fun with it man.
Arcade games ROCK!

I've had a Vectrex Multi-cart for close to a year and still don't have a Vectrex.   :-/

that's not that unusual, especially amongst collector's. I've never passed up a game I didn't have a system for. I figure I'll track one down at some point. at the moment I don't have this situation but I had games for the Intellivision, TI-99, Apple IIe, Xbox and Colecovsion long before I got the systems.

Hell, I've had Food Fight for the Atari 7800 for well over 10 years (since the legendary Big Lots closeout of Atari games and systems) and I still don't have a system.

Congrats, CFB!  That seems like a solid investment, both in terms of your money and the gaming enjoyment you can get out of it.  I'm envious.

[CatchFiveBats]

Thanks everybody!  I really appreciate your comments and congratulations.  If any of you want to see what the system looks like in my room, I've just uploaded a bunch of pics on my profile.  Peace out!

I'm giving serious consideration to either modding my AES for s-video and buying a phantom or just buying a consolized MVS.

[Lord Nepenthean]

CFB, it looks like you've already gotten a second game, so congrats on that as well.  No Neo Geo should be without a KOF game.  Very cool stuff.

[CatchFiveBats]

KoF '94 is, of course, unbelieveable.  The controls are responsive, the graphics are beautiful, the sound is well-thought-out & immersive, and the gameplay is rock solid.  I knew it would be good, but not this good, and I now see why the SNK community is so strong.  The only problem is now I'm broke, but it's worth it.

I may have an extra 7880 system if you're interested.
