Ron Burke: " If, like me, you never got your hands on a NEOGEO system, this is the next best thing.

I had an AES years ago and this is a fine alternative to the real thing but no way a replacement.
We had a game shop near our house growing up and they would rent out the NeoGeo. They also had imported games in japanese for SNES and Genesis. That was a cool store. The NEOGEO was a great console, just way too expensive. The cartridges were almost the size of VHS cassettes!
