Hey guys

 

I hope you all are doing well

 

Been a long time since I posted anything here, so it's about time. 

 

Just for you guys and Durso, I had to dig out the first Neo - Geo home console I ever bought.

 

I can never forget when I bought the system, I had just graduated with my bachelor's degree in Business. At that time I didn't know about Neo - Geo, but I use to relax with pirated games on PSP. 

 

Games like Metal Slug and Blazing Star made me interested in what kind of system Neo - Geo was, and I started looking into the console. It was then when I found about SNK and the console, and I was tempted to collect for it. 

 

Luckily I found a collector was selling the system about 45 minutes from me for £250 but after graduation, I had about £100 in my pocket, I thought the system was expensive at the time, but I was too hyped for the system and had to borrow money from my parents to buy it and I drove faster than lighting to the seller.

 

The collector was a mature guy and I guess he was surprised to see a young WRCN buying the system. He invited me in and was very friendly and told me everything about the console I didn't know from before. 

 

I told him I will take care of the console very well and not looking to sell it for profit or anything. He had games like Metal 3 and 4 and he even let me play them on the system, just for fun.

 

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough money for the games, he was selling Metal Slug games for £1000 - 1500 each, but I told him to not sell the affordable games he had, such as Fatal Fury 1, 2, Specia and many more. To this day I regret not buying the Metal Slugs games at such good prices. 

 

After purchasing the console from and not a single game, I saved up and bought the Fatal Fury games at £70 each and Gunlord for £450. I still have contact with him and I speak to him now and then. 

 

I will always take care of the system as it was my first Neo - Geo console and it is in very good condition, almost like brand new. 

 

I just wanted to tell you guys the story of how I bought this amazing system and I will always keep it with me. 

 

Thank you, everyone, and thank you Durso for guiding me about the games?

What an fascinating story this is WRCN. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I love to read Neo-Geo memories like yours and how the Neo-Geo sparked the interest that you happly traveled to the seller just to buy the console from him. That's fantastic that you are still in contact with the previous our and discuss about Neo-Geo and other interesting topics bro. Well done. :thumbsup: :)

 

That unit in the pictures still looks great after all these years. You really did a fine job keeping it and all the goodies with it in tip-top shape. One of these days, we need to see some videos from you showing your gaming skills in action, and talk more about Neo-Geo memories from you. Glad to give you a helping hand as much as possible on buying AES title bro.

 

What's next on the Neo-Geo list WRCN? Still following the plans we talked about bro?

Thanks, Durso?. I had a bare interest in gaming before Neo-Geo and PlayStation Vita came into my life. You know on PSP, you would casually play Tekken or GTA, but these two systems made a collector. 

 

Everything is going as we planned Durso, Fatal Fury 3 is on the way, I will give it a little time. The seller said he will ship Fatal Fury Real Bout tomorrow, so I will give it two to three weeks. 

 

Then we agreed on World Heroes 1, Jet and Real Bou 2. These are the games I will collect this year, as we planned?

 

Thank you for your help Durso, you know it is appropriated a lot by me?.

Now that's really cool Johnny. In all my years, I never seen a Neo-Geo cabinet inside a tattoo parlor before bro. So this is a first for me, and on the Neo-Geo thread. Now this really made my day for sure. :)

Got some Sonic games today since Sonic's 30th anniversary is on Wednesday. Obviously, one of those is relevant to the Neo Geo thread...

 

Pic_0620_733.thumb.jpg.4f8d93442bc41b880ec8fd6c59ab17b8.jpg

 

So I wasn't able to find a Neo Geo Pocket Color that I liked. Does the stick on the so-called "new" Neo Geo Pocket Color wear out or something? I was under the impression that it's supposed to be quite clicky. Neither of the 2 that I tested today were very clicky at all and one felt kind of loose and super not-clicky, so I didn't buy one (so I can't play Sonic Pocket Adventure yet). The staff dude at the store didn't know anything about the system at all, so he was not able to help.

I Would say it comes with a noticeable click possibly even more than say a CD console controller, but not in a form that distracts or prevents smooth operation. The one that you said wasn't clicky at all I would avoid. I don't know enough of the mechanics but the clickyness is part of the appeal to me. Not sure if it's easily 'fixed' or replaced. I would say keep looking.

All the NGP are supposed tio be clicky, but it sounds a bit less than the NG sticks and NGCD pads. Maybe this can help you a bit, sadly i don't have the latest model of the NGPC so i couldn't show it...

Hi Steve,

 

Checking with my NGPC to listen in. They all have the clicky sounds. But I think 1 of them sounds less louder then the others. Maybe it's due to age or wear like you mentioned. But all have the sounds from what I'm hearing bro. :)

Awesome WRCN. Glad that everything is going as scheduled. Always a pleasure to see you on with us and posting away with your great Neo-Geo goodies with us bro.  :)

 

Anthony..

Yeah, my bro. Just waiting for my games to arrive and I will show them here. Thanks, man, I am still a newbie when it comes to collecting Neo - Geo, but I think we going in the right direction, I am paying a little extra for better condition, so I am excited about how they turn out when I receive them. 

 

As always thank you for the help Durso, it is appreciated and keep up the good work my good man. 
 

Thanks

Yeah mine sounds clicky as hell!   FWIW,  My Favorite game on there is  DARK ARMS: BEAST BUSTER 1999.  YMMV, but...  It's the only game I kept playing on there all the time,  (not lately, but in general...)   It always felt like a forgotten NES game but with Turbografx-16 or maybe even SNES level graphics...

Great, thanks guys. So I was expecting the stick to be around as clicky as the CD controller. I didn't find one like that and there are not a whole lot of them available in Akiba right now, so I might have to wait for a while until I can find a nice one.
