I had to use a few pictures from this message board to illustrate some
of the things mentioned in my F.A.Q. NG.com was credited as the source, of course. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Excellent job on your FAQ, hope you continue to update with additional info. I would gladly host this FAQ somewhere on neo-geo.com and possibly neostore.com as well. Would leave the FAQ in its original state and give full credit to the author, you. For one, the Black Book would be an appropriate placement. I will also be adding a “how to” guide on removing the ngf stickers.

Btw, you may consider adding this picture for Section 4:

Just a question: if NGF did (or keep doing)illegal things, why SNK, or dunno who, doesn't do something to, at least, stop them?
Is there something I'm missing? <IMG SRC="smilies/spock.gif" border="0">

In the last few years SNK had more pressing problems (i.e. financial <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> ) to deal with...

Hey NeoLord. The FAQ is a good start.Needs work... as an author of the FAQ you need to stand behind it 100% as well.

To answer the question above...NGF is doing nothing illegal,it's unethical but not illegal.
NGF cartridges are WORTHLESS to the collecter and TOO EXPENSIVE for the gamer.
Collecters want authetic product
NGF stuff is definitely not that.
Most Gamers are looking for a bargain,just want to play the game.Only purchase NGF product @40-50% lower than authentic market price or go MVS
We can't forget about the FBF's(Financial Bind FREAKS) These are individuals want and will pay 'TOP DOLLAR' for an authentic AES game for PLAYING purposes but expect their purchase to hold or increase in value just incase they have to make a QUICK SALE to maintain their standard of living <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
DO NOT SUPPORT NGF's unethical practices and they will fade away.
The educated consumer holds NGF's fate in his/her hands.You want to stop them? Don't suppport them.

I think we need to get together via e-mail..set aside our differences if we have any and make this FAQ as comprehensive as possible...I mean try to leave no stone unturned...I mean EDUCATE the newbie overnight!! make them not have to ask another question about NGF
I was going to get around to doing this but I am glad you've started it..great start too...you also give it the credibility it needs
THANKYOU...If you wish to collaborate e-mail me.

Ok, but keeping an eye to the unofficial products can't save money aswell? <IMG SRC="smilies/spock.gif" border="0">

I'm new to the Neo scene, but I've already learned the story: NGF doen't have anything in common with the Neo world. <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">
NeoLord: keep up the great work!

Fairly decent. Does explain some things..including the REAL reason Dion uses corrected inserts. Glad someone finally mentioned that. The only thing I don't like about it is the attitude towards converted carts. What's wrong with them? Are Jeff Kurtz's somehow better than Dion's? Are they the same?! Or, is it just the price itself? If you hate SAC carts, it's a shame, but, unfortunately, that's the only way to play certain games on the AES system.

Didn't you read the FAQ? It clearly states, "The opinions expressed herein do not reflect the Author's opinion.". That sentence should have cleared things up
immediately.

I have nothing against converted cartridges as long as they're sold as conversions,
and NOT official SNK merchandise.
