The Official NEO-GEO Thread!


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone just stumbled across this thread and have some questions. I've always wanted a neo geo but don't know too much about them. I am looking to get a usa console and have some questions. I see lots of Neo Geo's on ebay from japan that look identical, atleast to me, to the usa consoles. Are they're any markings on the outside or underneath that distinguish the two easily? What would be a good price to pay for a stock unmodified console, power supply and 1 of the arcade sticks and what would be the best place to get one, maybe if someone knows someone looking to get rid of one? Thanks everyone!

Hi guys,

 

We are in for a real treat for sure. NBC News gave permission for this classic retro electronic gift ideas footage for the public to see that was aired 30 years ago. And the first of the many on the list was the Neo-Geo AES. Amazing. Simply amazing. 8^) 

 

From the description,

"December 12, 1990 This was The Gadget Guru's first appearance on NBC's Today Show. The theme was hot electronic holiday gifts and was hosted by Deborah Norville. Products featured in this video:

Neo Geo Video Game System

Sanyo Fisher Binocular Style Camcorder

In The Picture Video Following Device

Panasonic VHS-C Camcorder

Cobra Intenna Cordless Phone

Phone Mate ADAM All Digital Answering Machine

AT&T Digital Answering Machine

Motorola Wrist Pager VCR+ Automated VCR Programmer"

Wish they had used magician lord to demo it. I love seeing stuff like this. It must have been so exciting to see the neo for the first time

Awesome video.  Shame they picked riding hero as the demo.  I’m still amazed by Panasonic’s positional tracking device - “I’d buy that for a dollar!”

Glad you liked the video Chris. I still like Panasonic a lot. I still think most of their devices are still top notch. When I was a boy growing up in the early 90's, I felt they made the best Televisions, VCR's and stereo systems.

Thank you for seeing this with us Paul. This particular footage finally became available yesterday for the public to see again after 30 years for us to view. Really stunned me for sure on viewing this for the first time. ;-)

Hi INTV,

 

Thank you for seeing the Neo-Geo thread on Atariage.com and posting with us. Please enjoy your stay with us and viewing the many pages that we accumulated on here for our members and guest to view. Glad to have you aboard and look forward on reading more of your postings as time passes by. ;-)

 

Ah, a superb choice on the interest on purchasing a Neo-Geo AES for your collection. Will be glad to help you as much as possible  in order for you to acquire a unit INTV.

 

Now to help you with your questions. Yes, the AES units from all over the world look identical to each other. they all have the same looks. USA, Japanese, etc. It was one design shell piece since it started production from 1990-1997. But, the boards underneath the shells have revisions that change from time-to-time. As the serial numbers continued to get higher, so where the designs of the boards. But they still played all Neo-Geo games regardless. 

 

On identifying a USA or Japanese console, that's also possible as well. The Japanese consoles say "Neo-O", it's Japanese. If it says "Neo-AEC", it's a non-Japanese unit.

 

In regards to pricing, USA (or English) version systems will cost more since they happen to be more sought after since less were made compared to the Japanese consoles.  When it comes down to for a complete working English units, it will be around roughly $700-$900 loose depending on condition. Now if it was boxed, and complete, it would be in the $1200+ and up based on condition as well.  They go for good money to say the least.

 

Now you can go the Japanese route and find one complete as well for considerably less. You can find them off the internet starting at around $320 bucks loose. Of course, you'll have to install a Unibios chip inside them to have the option to play in English (or the language of your choice), but you'll be able to save a significant amount of money compared to the USA units. 

 

I also have to mention that all Neo-Geo AES consoles are region free. No matter where or when the units and games where available in the world, they will work regardless on them. Just the language barriers exist.

 

Same regards to the controllers. The rectangle & bean style controllers will work. The handheld Neo Geo CD controllers will work as well. Not the Neo Geo Mini or Neo Geo X ones. Those will have to be modded for it to work on the AES.

 

If you like links to further assist you on where to buy or auction off, will be glad to help you further INTV. 

 

Thank you again for stopping by and posting with us INTV. Anymore questions, feel free to ask, will be here to give you a helping hand. ;-)

Hi everyone.

 

Hope you and your love ones are having a wonderful Christmas. I figured to continue to go back to the Neo-Geo thread archives here and found a real treat that i recently posted on the thread. 

 

Here is a video of the once popular show Video Power hosed by Johnny Arcade in 1991. In the contest that was offered at the time, a contestant had a change to win a Neo-Geo AES Gold System. Look at the size of that box! It was almost covered the kid. :D

 

Did he win it folks? Let's find out shall we. If it was me at the time, I would make it my business to win it at all cost. :D Enjoy. ;-)

 

From the description,

"So this is a short clip from an old show Video Power, which aired between 1990-1992. The show was designed around having kids compete in different video games and were eliminated based on lowest score. What you're seeing in this clip is the final part of the show where the show's top scored gets to run through and pick out whatever video games he/she wanted; we also see him pick out a very specific game in order to win the grand prize, a new NeoGeo system.

 

So for anyone that remembers this show, take it all in. We see an appearance of the Miracle piano system, the classic best console of the time the NeoGeo, I think I caught a Super Nintendo box there somewhere, but most of it was NES and Sega 8-bit stuff. I especially like that in order to get on the show, the letter you send need only contain 5 words.

 

Anyway, the kid in this clip is "Mark", so Mark if you happen to watch this video one day be sure to comment and let us know how you're doing. "

 

 

 

 

Anthony.

Hey guys, posted a listing in the wanted section for a loose copy of magician lord on the neo geo aes, the us version, figured it might help to post here too. If anyone has an extra loose cart they are looking to get rid of let me know, willing to pay the market rate. I prefer loose over boxed since AES is already expensive enough lol. Thank you!

Thanks everyone! 

Check out any old gaming shops in your area-- you might get lucky.  Or perhaps better yet look for any gaming conventions that might come your way.  That's where I got my NEO GEO home system.  If you can get a memory card off eBay you can transfer your progress to a NEO GEO cabinet with the same game and pick up where you left off!
