daybona · Jan 7, 2005

Yeah, Dion was running his mouth a week ago on the DHP.

Thats the Neo mailing list I assume?

NGF was the first Neo site I was regularly looking at before I came here. I almost ordered a number of carts from them till I learned that they were a bit different(I'm being careful with my words).

Anyway are they still in buisness? If not in the Neo perhaps some other console?

Btw, where are those "massive" re-stock items? Where they sold out?

A six pack Euro Kizuna, dozens of NOS items and a "buy out" of Snk's remaining stock :eek_2:

I like it when Dion posts on the DHP, makes me laugh everytime.

VinylBoy · Jan 8, 2005

Last thing anyone has heard from the dynamic duo, Dion was on the DHP speaking about how the Neo Geo scene is dead. I guess he assumes this because there are no more games scheduled for the AES. I don't know about you, but from a gamer's perspective the scene is never dead to me for there will always be titles that I want to check out.

No more AES games? Bad for collectors, but no problem for us gamers.

Actually, I have updated the NGFUSA.com site sort of often. There really isn't much to say these days. Most of my stuff that was for sale is sold, but I actually still send out a couple packages a week. I am still actively looking for a few things listed on the site.

All in all, consider this a period of shake-out. When people have to ask what the DHP is, it really has gotten bad. As Dion and I have always said, we will be around long after the "true" fans of the last few years are gone.

I have some plans for the NGFUSA.com site down the road, but only as time allows, I am in no hurry. As far as stock and games are concerned, its over. NGF was the sole owner of over 8000 AES carts, and every retailer (including the neostore) bought their stock from our original "birth" and "rebirth". Even the later telegames stock originated from us. But if people don't realize that there is no more with the NOS stuff, then they are fooling themselves.

To sum it up:

Since we embarassed playmore in federal court, and openly enjoyed the lucrative settlement, it has been pretty much relaxation time. As this site grows more dead each day, the future of the neo geo becomes more and more bright.

Forgive me for my ignorance but does that really mean you guys were the first exclusive distro's of Neo-Aes products outside Japan?

Yes, we were the pioneers and first EXCLUSIVE distributor of AES games in the US. This is after SNKUSA went under and we were asked by SNK to take over all operations in the US. We went on to bring the English AES release back from the dead with KOF2000. We liquidated SNK Japan when they went under, and had a burgening relationship with Aruze (as you can see in th pics of us at the TGS working the Aruze booth).

When SNK wanted us to release that stinker Sengoku 3, and take 2000 Engish copies, we refused and the relationship was on a downslide. Luckily, shawn was ready to step in with the required cash to fund the turds that playmore put out, to his own financial downfall. Of course all the playmore cronies disliked us because we were able to secure all of the worthwhile assets of SNK, including exclusive distro rights. One federal court case later, things only got better for us, but what can you say, it is typical for playmore.

Hope this helps,

Its comin to that point where this thread is getting moved to the War-Room isnt it? Cuz i can feel the tension already.

NGF - weren't they the fags that tainted the hell out of original SNK product with their names, scammed people into sending them their original inserts for their "freaked" versions? Stamped the insides of AES manuals with their fag ass names, etc, etc, etc?

From what im reading ChrisR talk about - hes comin off as if they were victorious with that whole SNKP - NGF court crap. I was under the impression that it went the other way around and put the final nail on the coffin for NGF.

DHP is old ass shit, i was surprised to hear that mail-list was still active. Just didnt know the mail-list was reffered to as "DHP".

How exactly have things improved for the NGF? Your website is all but dead, your community amounts to Leslie, myself, and a handful of other spammers from NG.com. There is absolutely no remaining interest in NGF merchandise, and NGF Big Tyme Exclusive Carts have very little collectible value in addition to having zero appeal. You’ve been reduced to using Shawn’s bandwidth to peddle your merchandise in the selling forums.

So many people bithching for all that crap to end and when it does you all post threads wanting more.

Your kidding me right. Shawn McClesky (probbly selled that wrong again), the owner of this site is the sole distributer of (english) neo items here in the U.S.
Been that way for a while now.

I was just curious, thats all.

NGF gets so much negative press around here and I rarely ever hear their side of the story, so checked out their site and had some questions.

To be quite honest all those of pics of NOS had me drooling although I doubt the origins of some of it.

I don't think it should end; in fact I hope and pray for Dion's return. Nothing like some healthy Big Tyme drama to spice this place up.

Few of you know this but I have a pretty sizeable deal pending with Chris Ray. As many of you know I'm quite the artist, and apparently when Mr. Ray saw some of my Poopling renderings he was more than impressed. He has since commissioned me to paint him a custom piece that will be hung above his waterbed. It's nearly complete, just a few more touch-ups and it'll be all ready to go:

Actually, if you were old enough to travel by yourself at the time you may have been there, both Dion and I were tournament winners at the first neo-shodown in ATL. Yes - tournament winners.

Go back to the club in your neighborhood. Someone may recognize you.

I remember the first neo-showdown. The final round was gay mudwrestling.
