SNK Neo-Geo USA Corp. advertises in Replay Magazine

Neo Fan · May 9, 2002

For those that subscribe to the trade magazine Replay, you can see the two page advertisement from the new incarnation of SNK/Aruze. Three games are shown in the ad:

Jockey Grand Prix
V Liner
Metal Slug 4

Pretty cool if you ask me. Sorry, I don't have a camera to post pictures of the ad.

Scalpeur · May 9, 2002

what is "Jockey Grand Prix" and "V Liner"??
Games for neo pocket? <img src="graemlins/eye.gif" border="0" alt="[Eye]" />

These are MVS gambling games made by Brezzasoft.

RabbitTroop · May 9, 2002

They are MVS games from Brezza... both gambling games, which makes it strange to see them brought over to the States via SNK USA (where they will probably be illegal in most states).

im guessing one is horse racing , that we will probably never see state side without morgageing the house!

Neo Fan · May 9, 2002

One is Horse racing and the other is like a slot machine. Both are shown running on classic type MVS cabs. They might need specialized boards, but there is no mention of this in the ad.

My thought is that they might be used in a place like Dave and Busters and pay out tickets instead of loot?

Bhm · May 9, 2002

Oh, that's pretty cool. Anyone feel like scaning 'em? Please?

There's not a state in the union where it's illegal to own a piece of gambling equipment (slot machines, pachinko machines, roullete wheels...hell a deck of cards), it's just illegal in most to operate them for the purposes of gambling.

I'm sure there's some places in West Virgina, where Slot Machines and Video Poker are legal, that wouldn't mind having a cheap, reliable, video slot machine.

Cheap assuming the payout hardware isn't that expensive . But if it's not, all you need is a Jamma cabinet, not even a really nice one either, hell a box with a monitor, a slot one board and the 'game'.

So, $100 for the cab, $100 for the slotter and...$600(?) for the software so long as the payout equipment doesn't cost more than a grand, you're saving money (most video poker/slot machines start out at at least $1500 and go way up from there).

Well, I think it's a good idea at least.

Not being an operator myself, I can't answer to this in a professional manner... however, reading many articles in Play Meter and online about the trouble people are having with the legality of slots and other gambling games made me post that statement. I know the last big controversey was about those counter top trivia and skill games. Most bars were offering a hush-hush pay out. Different states have flat out banned the games and games like it. So that is where I am coming from, I bet those games can not be sold in some states!

The Phone number listed in the ad for SNK NeoGeo USA corp is (714)952-2864. It doesn't say if they sell cabs or not, but it's worth a try.

Yes that is a great arcade. Vegas is the only place I ever saw one though. Only thing I didn't like was the weird conversion cabs they had for the classic games. Robotron was in sort of a bank of three games, and I think it was 50 cents to boot!

candycab · May 10, 2002

yeah I agree the cabs were lame and 50 cents was way too much. I lived there for 2 years and played a hell of alot of golden tee and drank loads of heineken there. playing zombies revenge on the 100 inch screen was way cool.

For those who are thinking about it, save your money. That's a FAX number, not a telephone number.

SHITE! Sorry about that, the phone is (714)952-2833. But that was the SNK fax number. The address is:
5252 Orange Ave. Suite 208
Cypress, CA 90630

I believe they are opening a GAMEWORKS in downtown Mpls on the new Block E soon.

Fygee · May 12, 2002

I live in Vegas, so bring it on!

By the way, I couldn't find any Neo-Geo machines in the Gameworks here. The only two places I've found them are Mary K's arcade, and a place called Laser Force, and only Mary K's keeps the games on them relatively up to date (still doesn't have any games released in 2001 though).
