Hello Community

[Draemonorius]

Hello everyone, I am an avid game collector, collecting mainly NES/SNES/PS/SAT/DC games, until recently, I discovered the AES. I've always been an arcade Neo Geo fan, but I never knew a console was out for it. I've decided to become a AES collector, and am glad to have found a community of fellow NG fans. One question, I'm a big KoF fan, and I was wondering what some of the best games to pick up are. Thanks.

One thing you'll quickly find out is that the game prices range from moderate to insane, and prices depend on the format (Home, MVS).

As far as bang-for-buck fighting games go, you can't go wrong with Samurai Shodown 2, Fatal Fury Special and KOF '98.

[Draemonorius]

Yeah, I've been looking at 98', one of my friends said it was the best KoF game. Another said 00' was though, in your opinion, which is the best KoF?

[Coryoon?]

KoF serie

I you really like the serie, buy them all but KOF 98 is the best to me.

Fatal Fury serie

Fatal Fury Special, Real Bout 2, Mark of The Wolves

Samurai Shodown serie

Samurai Shodown 2, Samurai Shodown 4

Metal Slug serie

All of them exept the 4th, expecialy the first and the X, the third is good too but the last level ruin the game to me. It is too hard, near impossible to pass through with 1 credit.

Others

Pulstar, Blazing Star, Viewpoint, Windjammers, Puzzle Bobble (conversion only), Magician Lord.

Well, you better buy a MVS system if you don't want to start selling all your other collections to build a great AES collection.

[DeadPixels]

Welcome to the boards. I cant argue with Coryoon's list. Any of those gems will be great additions to your collection. If you're looking into getting King of Fighters 2000 I say go for it, it's a blast. I couldnt put it down until my MVS recently had its power supply go awol. Also, as said before, Samsho 2 should be an immediate addition to your collection.

Anyway, hello from the boards, take off your coat, and kindly leave your wallet at the Neostore.

Welcome aboard. :)

Well, I think I have a lined up a pretty good deal on an AES, but I also noticed the Neo Geo CD. Now, I am definitly getting the AES, but can someone give me the lowdown on the CD as well?

[WoodyXP]

The Neo Geo CD has the same specs as the AES except it uses a 1X CD-ROM drive for it's games. It's extremely slow.. especially when you play the later games(1996-1999). Games are cheap... but the load times are Hell. If you're getting an AES look past the CD/CDZ. :cool:

One good thing about the CD system is you get Redbook audio with most games. It sounds good for the most part... but it's still not a good tradeoff for the loads. :cool:

For KoF, you really can't go wrong with 96, 97 or 98, with 96 being my personal fave.

You can never go wrong with NAM-1975.

Welcome from a fellow forum-n00b!
I'm a recent aes convert myself and, as most people have mentioned, you can't really go wrong with KOF '98. Recently played SVC: Snk vs. Capcom Chaos, which I actually quite enjoyed, but I think that puts me in the minority ;)

[Darkneo]

Welcome to the Forums :)

If you like the KOF Series, you should try these games out -

KOF 98
KOF 2000
KOF 97

These are my Favorites in the KOF Series :)

[R-Dash]

'98 has the best gameplay. It's a near perfect if not absolute perfect fighting game. Personally my fav is '99. Try Matrimelee too, it's awsome.

I'll have to second R-Dash there. Not many people give it much credit, but I think Matrimelee is an excellent game. Easy to pick up and play, awesome roster of characters, and some of the best music on the neo make it a great choice. I recently splurged on the AES version and havent been able to put it down for much longer than an hour at a time.

You need this game.

[R-Dash]

Matrimelee rules. It's sinfully underated.

[jsjesse]

Welcome! You are amongst friends here. We all have the same fever for Neo Geo as you do:make_fac:

Welcome to t3h f0rumZ. :)


New to the scene?
Got an AES?

The first games you should go for are the US version of 'Metal Slug 1' and the EURO version of 'Kizuna Encounter'.
I think you'll like them, mate.
Good games to start your collection. :D

[fatoy.japa]

Welcome mate! You can count me as another member of the 'Matrimelee is horribly under-appreciated' crowd.
