Merlin's intro

Thanks RiKo. Hope some more people will create intro threads.

World Heroes Perfect is probably the best one but the second game will always be my favourite despite the final boss Dio really annoying me at times! Was disappointing that they removed the death match mode in the later games.

Thanks. I've added a link to my Youtube channel in my profile. You have some nice videos on your channel too.

ahh so lovely to see my fave neo geo mangs riko and merlin  

loving your neo geo gaming story merlin and love the profile pic riko.

my neo geo story:

like a fair few people my introduction to snk was actualy through the capcom snk crossover games.

i remember being young and seeing snk vs capcom match of the millenium for the neo geo pocket colour in my local electronics boutique store and looked at the box in wonder and realy wanted it, but i remember the console being only available in my local store for a short period and vanished. silly young me didnt remember even what the handheld was called.

fast forward to capcom vs snk 2 coming to the ps2, wow I remember being so excited to discover the world of snk. I was an addicted street fighter player, it had always been my fave gaming series.

but my hunger for more snk grew and was often reading articles and learning about the neo geo and the games via that world wide web thingy.

more games started to appear on the ps2 from snk and i collected them all and fell in love, but obviously i wanted to get my hands on neo geo consoles and collect as much as i could possibly.

I got a neo geo pocket colour with nearly the entire game catalogue as loose carts for my birthday, all that back then cost probably £70 at the most, we are talking early 2000s

then by christmas of that year it was the neo geo aes with fatal fury special, sam shodown 2, world heroes 2, 3 count bout. I was now in neo geo heaven with my collection.

I soon realised that aes carts were expensive and ended up getting a converter and started collecting loose mvs carts.

also I must say I joined the original neo geo for life once I had bought my aes and loved being part of the community on there and made some dear friends


so all that story was a long time ago, well over a decade.

fast forward to the present I still own all my neo geo and gaming collection but I play neo geo games on the convenient nintendo switch now

If you have read all this thank you 

also my fave game on the neo geo and my fave game ever BREAKERS

My apologies merlin to hijacking your thread. I think because there was only a single thread I got it into my brain that this was a general "everyone introduce yourself!" thread.

I'll do as you suggest Riko and move my original post elsewhere.

That's ok about any thread 'highjacking'. No problem. I can understand with it being the only thread it maybe seemed like the introduction thread.

Hey Chode! Do you have Steam? How do you play fighting games online these days? I'd love to play you on Daraku Tenshi or Breakers sometime. YOU WILL DIE!

Hey 2D. Yes I have Steam but have never played any multiplayer games on there. I haven't been playing any arcade games online for a very long time. I'm keen to play with you again too chode.

Thanks Murikov. Glad I was able to play a part in helping to rebuild this community. Great to see so much activity already. It was a good idea of RiKo's to start a new forum.
