funny one benares. The neo geo is the greatest home console ever created, and is one of the few ways you can actually enjoy arcade excitement at home. The games are truly what make the system, and the greatest 3D games ever created are found here. Fighters, shooters, and puzzle games are many of the systems strong points, while it still delivers thrills in the form of sports games, and other well-crafted titles. If you get sick of all the "polygon pushing madness" that goes on these days, the neo is a fresh alternative to all that crap. I have virtually every console on the current market, but I go back to my neo for true arcade enjoyment. Supporting the neo can be an expensive hobby to have, and for some people it is the only game system in town; but the benefits are so rewarding, not only in term of gameplay, but just of experiencing truly masterful 2D gaming. If you are looking to get a system or anything else neo, Shawn who runs this site is an excellent place to start, or you can check around with just about any of the memebers here. The only place I personlly suggest you stay away from is NGF (neogeofreak.com), because they are known for screwing people, and when you are talking about the kind of money it sometimes takes to plan neo geo, you dont want to take any chances on being screwed. Hope you get a system and are able to fully enjoy its benefits, and welcome to these forums.
