As the years went on after the Neo's so called glory years I call them, when neo was really popular on and a few years after it was inroduced production was in higher numbers. But with the bringing of 32 bit systems such playstation and sega saturn and so on, SNK kinda fell out of the scene. Not that they were out, just had a following of not so many as before the "cd game" era I call it.
95 and on is the year I believe, gamers lost interest in the system. But ....SNK went on...to produce sequals and even new games in their old fashion style with newer and better graphics.
Not long ago, 2 years or so , a fad began. A collectors era and vintage gamers time. Some games became in demand and prices sky rocketed due to the limited numbers and collectors willing to part with their games.
Looking from my point of view when I first grabbed my Neo-Geo out of the closet 3 years ago and dusting it off, I thought , I wonder what new games after I stopped playing in 92 came out for the system. I found them very very hard to find. Wanting the samurai shodown series I came across Shawns site and saw 2,3,and 4 all US and the only carts he had. I was amazed at many things. first that these were what I wanted and could not find them anywhere, and that they really expensive still after all the years that have passed. I set out to collect only Samurai Shodowns, but then it began. The addiction to collect the fighters I call it. Every rare game to come buy that caught my eye I had to have. And thus 2 years later provides the collection I have today.
So you see what it is now. Many have this cart. Not as many that have World heroes or Samurai Shodown but enough, and they do not want to part with it. So when one does, its a fight to who wants it the most and how bad. Price jackers?
I don't believe in it. If someone is so dumb as to go buy what someone tell them its worth then they really are a shallow individual. It all has to do with numbers. There just are not enough to go around , so the price is increased. Its all simple mathmatics of buisness. If I do not win a cart because someone hit a higher price than I was willing to go, I don't scream price jacking , I simply did not want it as bad as the other person did.</strong><hr></blockquote>ah well said, the old system of suply and demand, suply goes down demand goes up and price goes up, simle as that i suppose
