Whatever you guys do don't read the reply's under that thread!!!

Talking about getting MAME or Kwakis to play the games...

And they bitch about the games going for more than PS2's on ebay....

So before you read that and rant, just don't bother.

Peace

I Completly disagree with you JH. That was a great laugh to start the day with. The only coment that I agreed with on those posts were some british guy that said durring the "Counsel Wars" that the only thing that came beating the Neo was the PCEngine but it did not have the same "geek apeal"
That was some funny stuff to read. Ignorance Killed The Gamer!

It's all my fault... But i thought it would be cool to remind some people about the neo-geo, and the best 2d games ever :D

I seriously didn't think they'd post my article on slashdot!

whee :D

"So before you read that and rant, just don't bother."

I can't resist:

"
I might as well be the first to mention that most Neo-Geo games are supported by Mame [mame.net] and my personal emulator of choice, Kawaks [retrogames.com]. If you'd like to try the newer Neo Geo games before you consider the high price road, you should download those emulators and then try searching for some ROMs in various websites, IRC channels, and P2P programs. My personal game recommendations are "Garou: Mark of the Wolves", "The King of Fighters 2000", and any of the Metal Slug games, especially "Metal Slug X".

Oh, and if you see any of the PlayStation ports of Neo Geo games in stores, don't bother with them. They're buggy, bastardized versions of the games with at least twenty to sixty times the amount of loading time (and no, that's not an exaggeration)."

Not an "exaggeration" you say? LAMER OVERLOAD .... brain .... melting .....

And that emulation post got a score of +5 on /.
The mods didn't rate it properly...

Perhaps they didn't think SNK / Neo-Geo was still in business. Maybe they thought i was talking of homebrewn games in the article.

Viva la Neo, but the nod to Monty Python's Holy Grail was hilarious. And I've got bigger issues than whether a few of those replies were about emulation.
