+Charlie Cat Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hi guys, Back with Gamer888MPH with another fun video for us. Let's see him in Action playing Viewpoint on the NGCD shall we? From the description, "Viewpoint is an arcade isometric shooter, released in 1992 by SNK for the Neo-Geo arcade platform. By default, 1P and 2P can only play one after another; in the Service Mode though, simultaneous gameplay can be enabled." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJqqo0m4qdE Anthony...

retrorussell Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Hey folks. New NEO GEO game I'm reviewing: RIDING HERO, one of the earliest titles (released in the first year). It's a fairly blah motorcycle racing game with graphics actually comparable to much older racing games. One cool thing is that you have 4 turbo boosts you can use during the race, and I greatly prefer the Story Mode over the World Gran Prix mode. In Story Mode you have a map where you can choose where to go to next, and you can race for cash, just chat with drivers, visit the hospital, crash at your apartment, purchase a new bike or get parts upgraded, etc. But you often need to visit certain places just to unlock certain inaccessible areas or events, on your way to the Suzuka 8 Hour race at the end of the mode. Multi-Play mode I believe allows for a 2nd player to join in, but whether you finish first or last doesn't matter, you only race 1 course. Again, pretty blah even with the innovative Story Mode.

Punisher5.0 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I have the Daedalus converter and a 161 in 1. It does work, but not 100% in my case. I have two AES systems. On my early model US system only the older games work. I can't play games like Prehistoric Isle because they will not start up, however an older game like Super Baseball 2020 would work fine. I thought this was due to the 161 in 1 needing to draw a lot of power to work properly. For this AES system I had to replace the power supply with a third party one that had lower voltage, so that could be part of the problem. I also tried the 161 in 1 with the Daedalus on my other Neo Geo AES system and got slightly better results. With this system I was able to play more games, but still not all. For instance, now I could actually play Prehistoric Isle, but it froze half way through the first level. The Daedalus converter and a 161 in one combination may work best if you have one of the later model Japanese AES systems. I believe those have beefier power supplies. Thanks for giving your own experience. It makes me feel more comfortable with getting one now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game gets criticized a lot from the Neo-Geo community. But if you can find the positives on this title. I feel its an enjoyable game to play. Anthony...

ECWfan Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks for giving your own experience. It makes me feel more comfortable with getting one now. At this time it doesn't really make sense to buy the Daedalus and a 161 in 1. The NeoSD is available now and only costs a little more than buying the Daedalus and a 161 in 1. The 161 in 1 also broke the cartridge connector on my Daedalus. It is very hard to pull the 161 in 1 off of the Daedalus. I think I read somewhere that you can shave off some of the plastic on the 161 in 1 to make it fit better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dito Ive been ill for quite a while so haven't been able to keep track of "all things Neo" and was going to pick up a multi cart but read all sorts about it and someone pointed out the NeoSD, watched GadgetUK YT video and bought one without question, in-fact its due to arrive today!

Tanooki Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) The NeoSD may set you back over $450 but given what the price of stuff like Twinkle Star Sprites, Mark of the Wolves, MOney Idol Exchanger and some others hit -- it's a deal maker. If you are cool waiting upwards of 4min to get the biggest of games copied from SD->Kit you're good to go. It is properly wired too, won't have it shorting out your hardware potentially in the future while the multicarts all can cause some level of damage from bent pins to jacking up the board. Also cost wise, you're not looking at any worse buying from stone age gamer than the Euro+shipping conversion straight from Europe, plus the SAG one has extras with a box, manual, etc. Edited July 7, 2017 by Tanooki 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 3 months Ive bought 9 games, 5 CDs, 4 carts, in that was KOF2002 and Mark of the Wolves about 1500-2 grands worth. I was going to get a multicast and a Daedalus, I didn't even no the Flash cart existed till a couple of weeks ago (long term illness+recovery), my girlfriends friend just bought me one for my birthday so Im absolutely buzzing. I no one thing for sure though regardless of having the games on an SD its still not going to stop me buying carts and CDs. MJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement parts are so widely available on the market that you can find them with no hassle at all.

Tanooki Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm kind of curious if there would be one. I think it would kind of depend solely on how much of a transfer rate the SNK hardware can take. The NGPC kit is saddled with 30sec(512kb) to 4min(4MB) waits because of how the system handles cartridge data and transfers it. If the big brother to it is wired in a similar way those long pauses are going to be about it other than shaving seconds off with a better speed memory card. At least with the NGP kit you get 15M to work with so you can throw multiple games on there while the NeoSD if I remember right is a one shot. And matty I feel the same way. I have the kit, but I'd still like to own the setup I once had 15 years ago when I had it in the day as it was a long line of victims to unemployment. A lucky buy a few months ago on a lot got me almost every game I had in one shot other than select few and annoyingly 2 of them are just expensive ($100+ -- rockman and cotton) but match of the millennium I got for under 30 and biomotor unitron tops 50 complete. Baseball Stars I need too but oddly it doesn't come up much loose and I don't want to blow $40+ on a complete one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
