Thanks for the welcome Murkov! Would love to join the Discord chat at some point : )
I originally heard about the Neo through my older cousins, and was blown away when I saw one that my dad's friend had. I became a huge fan of Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown and I would buy ports on the Genesis as that's all I had haha. Eventually, I was able to buy my first SNK system, the NGPC in like 1999 which I still own. Unfortunately right after I bought it though, my local Toys R Us stopped carrying the games... I was devastated. Still one of my all time favorite systems though! I mostly played MVS games through emulation (Neorage X and Kawaks...Kaillera anyone ) until I saved up money from doing yardwork to buy a Neogeo CD online. I loved it, but eventually upgraded to the MVS, and got my engineer buddy to consolize it, which is what I have now!
Thanks for the background story bro!
I still think that some of the Genesis ports aren't really bad at all! On the front page in the news section for videos, Riko posted a superb comparison video which shows some examples. And I'm not unimpressed!
And I can only relate very well to your personal Neo Geo impressions, especially what you said about Neorage X and Kawaks. So good times indeed!
You seem to have taken a good path indeed with your consolized MVS! It's indeed a solid way to enjoy the original way without forking all the ridiculous money for AES games (especially these days).
By the way, if you want to share pictures of your console and collection, we have a dedicated Collections page where users can send in their pictures for displaying them there.
Also, speaking of that, we're having our member chat today in the evening at 8PM.
Cheers and see you on the boards
