Site History

Neo Geo Forever is the new home for the community from the legendary NeoGeoForLife website (of which now only the popular Facebook group still exists). The site went down in early 2020, initially due to technical issues but sadly never came back online. Kazuya_UK (Stuart Reynolds) the creator of NeoGeoForLife still hopes one day to get it back up and running but he is too busy to do so for the foreseeable future. He suspects the site may have been hacked because the software it ran on was very old.

NeoGeoForLife (or NG4L for short), started life in 2001 as the forum linked to Kazuya's NeoGeo Game Review and FAQs website. At this time the forum was run on Proboards.

By 2007 the forum and review site were all integrated into a single website (seen above) at neogeoforlife.com. NeoGeoForLife went through a few design changes over the years. This last one is my personal favourite and was designed by NG4L member Shiny.

Over time the site built up an excellent resource of Neo Geo game reviews, magazine and manual scans and became a well visited and respected website for all things Neo Geo. The biggest draw though was the excellent forum which was home to a large and friendly community of Neo Geo owners and enthusiasts. You knew if you signed up there, you would receive a warm welcome and could ask for knowledgeable advice.

Now it's 2021 and NG4L has sadly gone but the original NeoGeoForLife Proboards forum site still exists. If you visit there, you can see us meeting in late 2020 to discuss the genesis of this site. And so.... neogeoforever.com was born - the NG4L community lives on and we still have some of the members from the early Proboard days here too. The history of this new site is yet to be written but let's hope it will be as rich and deep as our illustrious forebear - neogeoforlife.com.

A big thank you to Kazuya/Stu for creating it! 😊
