Best Year For Games On The Neo Geo

Nathan · May 14, 2002

What do you consider to be the best year for games on the Neo Geo? If you could only pick one year to have games from which would it be and why?

IMO I would have to go with 1996. Some of my favorite games came out that year.

Neo Turf Masters
Metal Slug
Over Top
KOF '96
SS4
Ultimate 11

I say 2002, why you say, because they still make games for this system.

Argentina94 · May 14, 2002

I would have to go with 1994, as too many classics were made and it was the beginning of other series:

KOF '94
Super Sidekicks 2
Baseball Stars 2
Windjammers
Street Hoop
Samurai Shodown 2
Aerofighters 2

I'd have to agree with you the '96 was the best year. I wish I hadn't of given up on my Neo in '95

. Now I have to go back and collect all these expensive games

Tacitus · May 14, 2002

I'm gonna have to go with '94 also.

Loopz · May 14, 2002

Dude,

Baseball Stars 2 came out in 1992...same year as Viewpoint and Last Resort...so my vote goes for

1992! Wooo!

I'd second that with 1994. SamSho 2 and KOF '94 made their debuts that year. Watch all the AES collector fucks come out and sing the praises of 1996....hehehe.....

Shit, I feel so embarrassed seeing as how BBS2 is my favorite Neo game. Thanks for the correction. But I still stick with '94.

Thanks for your responses . . .

Rare Hero you are right AOF3 and Real Bout FF Special came out in 1996 also.

mitsuagi · May 15, 2002

1996 also for me! :cool:

the_move · May 15, 2002

1996!

garou_d · May 15, 2002

1999 - cause I get back into...

GregN · May 15, 2002

It just so happens that 1996 had the best games, and the most collectable games.

Super Dodge Ball (This alone makes it the best year!)
Turfmasters
Twinkle Star Sprites
Real Bout Special
KoF 96
Samurai IV
Ninja Masters

eddicef · May 16, 2002

1996

because of Metal Slug, Art of Fighting3, KoF96, Kizuna Encounter, Ultimate 11, Pulstar 1995?, Samurai Shodown4 etc..

Liquid Snake · May 16, 2002

Year when Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting were out.....

Tarma · May 16, 2002

Didn't Art of Fighting come a few years after Fatal Fury? <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

Yeah, I think 1996 is probably the best year for overall releases on the AES... after this every year seemed to see less and less games come out for the system <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

1997 has to be my next favourite - Last Blade, King of Fighters '97 and probably something else too :rolleyes:

Why? Got laid

Huxley · May 16, 2002

8 votes for 96, Whoop! 1996 is the best! Where are all the KOF98 fans to vote for 98?

Nathan · May 16, 2002

According to the Master List on this site Fatal Fury came out in 1991 and Art of Fighting in 1992.

Everybody listen to Argentina94 - he has got some seriuosly good taste in Neo games

Good call dude

Atro · May 17, 2002

96 was a great year for games at that time. But in my point of view, I have to stick on the 93-94 Season. Best year so far in terms of profits for SNK.

Fatal Fury Special, Samurai Shodown, Spinmaster, Top Hunter, Art of Fighting 2, The King of Fighters 94, Samurai Shodown II, Windjammers, Aggressors of Dark Kombat, Aero Fighters 2,Super Sidekicks 2, Street Hoop and a lot more. It may have been also the season that more games have been released for the Neo Geo.

93-94 because it was the base for all the other releases up to now ( KOF, SAMSHO...). :rolleyes:

FeelGood · May 17, 2002

1996 was the best year for releases, but 1998 had Blazing Star, Last Blade 2, KoF 98, Metal Slug 2, plus many of the uber rare 1996 carts were actually more afforable then - Kizuna could be had for under $300, as was the case with AoF 3 and TSS. I bet you could even get a metal slug back then for under $400 - the network of collectors wasn't as powerful back then.
