Oh! Amazing Brendan. I looks like it was never added on to the console or controller. Nice work bro. So alcohol and Clorox disinfected wipes. I'll keep it mine when I have to remove of of mine. 

 

Anthony..

Thanks Anthony! You could use alcohol, but I actually didn't. Just used Clorox disinfectant wipes. I removed the stickers first leaving that classic "VOID" rental sticker residue left. Using the wipes, I scrubbed really hard to get that residue off that remained. I think it turned out great, and looks great too!

Hi guys,

Welp, been awhile since I shared anything regarding the exA Arcadia Multi Game System. The unit that claims to be the next Neo-Geo MVS. So here's a video from PrimeTimeAmusements promoting the piece. Enjoy. 

 

From the description,

"Bring fighters, shoot 'em ups and other classic genres back to your arcade - but with brand NEW games - with the exA-Arcadia multi-game system. Much like the Neo Geo MVS of the 90's, this platform uses cartridges where you can swap out the titles in just a moment if you wish. Each cabinet holds up to 4 games at once. With 17 titles currently available and over 50 in development, this is bringing the skill back to video games, at a price that's tough to beat!"

 

 

 

Anthony..

There is a thread about exA-Arcadia that I started up in the arcade forum a while back, but this reminds me that I need to update it

 

For those interested in this system, Paul Jacobs, former prez of SNK USA in the 90s, is currently the exA VP for North America. I was at the same expo as shown above and spent some time with the whole exA team, grabbing more videos like this (I also own an exA system that's at one of my arcades in Utah):

Hi Shaggy,

 

Thank you for stopping by the Neo-Geo thread and letting us know about your thread that you have regarding the exA Arcadia Multi Game System. That's correct about Paul Jacobs the past president of SNK USA is know in charge of exA in North America. Really amazed that he's still active after all these years in the industry.  That's really interesting that you were at the same expo where the exA Mutli Video System was being shown. 

 

You where there with the team? Wow! Now that's really cool. Must've been really enjoyable just talking away and seeing all that's going around the expo. Glad that you done so Shaggy. I wish I can going to one some day.

How about you bro? Do you own a Neo-Geo AES or played on the MVS units growing up in the arcades in the 1990's?

Anthony..

Yeah, Paul has bounced around to different companies in the biz over the years, although I think he's far more satisfied with working for exA than he was his last gig, which was an air hockey company (nothing he said, just the impression I got)

 

So at Amusement Expo 2021, they were the first company that I visited and the one that I spent the most time with. I write the Arcade Heroes blog (as mentioned in the sig) and have been following exA since they started - they reached out to me before they even announced anything. But with the blog & YouTube work that I do, I usually go to expos like this twice a year (Amusement Expo, which usually happens in the sping and IAAPA, which takes place a week before Thanksgiving). 

 

Thanks to the time I spent there, I was able to write up an extensive blog post detailing everything they had in store, including some info on new games such as a Shinobi-like game and a new fighter. Unfortunately due to some camera problems, I was unable to really film those in all their prototype glory, but that won't be an issue the next time I'm at one of their events (probably IAAPA). They have a lot more stuff in the pipeline that you'll find interesting down the road, so definitely one to watch.

 

I also have an exA-Arcadia, which I received back in Jan. 2020. I was one of the first arcade ops in the US to get one, and I was the first on the planet (AFAIK) to use it with 4K. I'd like to pick up a second machine with the 4-player CP. I'm probably the only one in the US with this quirky game on location:

 

 

As for the Neo Geo itself, my main job is operating my own arcade business in Utah (link also in the sig). I own two MVS 4-slot cabinets, I have a couple of single slot boards and a few carts.  Not sure which one is my rarest, probably Last Resort (also possibly Pulstar, although I can't remember if I traded that or if it's just in storage at the moment; also have Breaker's Revenge out to play right now, although most ignore it in favor of Metal Slug or KOF). I have considered grabbing some of the NG:DevTeam releases, although I've not jumped on any yet. While I've thought about grabbing an AES, it's always felt kind of unnecessary since I have plenty of MVS stuff, but I certainly keep up where I can on developments. I wouldn't mind seeing the new Hypernoid get a cart release!

Sure thing Shaggy. Be glad to see what you offer and having fun viewing them from you. 

 

How did you become acquainted with the Neo-Geo? Are you also one of the originals that was around when it was distributed in the country?

Hi guys,

 

Back with good ol' Roger from Same Name, Different Game. Here we see him discussing about the five reasons why to own a Neo-Geo MVS. Enjoy. 

 

From the description,

"Roger looks at five games for the Neo-Geo arcade format that never appeared on other systems!"

Earliest recollection I have of anything SNK was reading about the AES in Gamepro in the early 90s, but it was way out of my budget, so I just gawked over how the games looked from the tiny photos. Never knew anyone who owned one.  I didn't get a chance to hit up a local arcade very often until I started working at one at the end of the decade, where they didn't have an MVS, but they did have a dedicated Beast Busters: Second Nightmare (sadly, that machine was always one of the lowest earning games on the arcade floor which had over 100 games, but the management had shoved it into a dark corner away from all the other stuff for some reason). I wish I could have grabbed it when the place closed down; I also came across The Irritating Maze back when I was opening up in 2008 - I could have grabbed it for only $100 but I didn't realize how rare those are at the time and passed on it. Live and learn I guess. 

 

I really became familiar with it in the mid-2000s when I started buying up games with the intention to open an arcade and I bought a converted 1-slot cab that had Crossed Swords in it. It was in terrible condition, but the board worked so that's when I started collecting some carts. IIRC Blazing Star was the second game I picked up. It wasn't until a few years after opening my arcade that I found a dedicated 4-slot cab to put into the place. Back in 2019 I found another one for sale, although I had to drive down to Colorado to pick it up (that's the furthest I've ever gone to get a cabinet); I also upgraded one of them to the new LED marquee kit. Need to do that for the other one.

Oh man! Amazing history and that's fantastic you came across an Irritating Maze & a Dedicated Beast Busters: Second Nightmare. The stories you can tell us all could take us weeks to sit back and enjoy.  Same here Shaggy, I use to read those classic Gamepro mags in the 90's just to dream I had one in the collection.
