Last Blade 2
Mark of the Wolves
Metal Slug X
Magical Drop 3
Blazing Star
and Money Puzzle Exchanger...

Can be a bad thing if you get out of control with purchasing games. I've been down that road before with other systems, and it's not a good thing from first hand experience. If you can manage the financial costs when it comes to the Neo Geo, then you can be fine.

The Neo can mean problems when it comes to money.

Mass NG spending is a good thing, if handled properly. But beware the huge credit card debt and quickly depleted savings funds that can occur.

yeah, I'm well over 2300$ on my neo spending in three months. That's a lot of money, but I don't regret it. I have the money for the first time in my life, and I'm happy with my purchases.

So, know your budget and buy accordingly. Also, try to keep in mind that if you're not totally comfortable with a price, keep looking. That's half the fun!

I totally agree. Keep it in check. Someone said ( I think BonusKun, and others) that it is better to own a few games that you PLAY than a lot you collect. Something to think about. Since there is so much game in the top tier Neo-Geo games, less can be more.

I OWN a ton of games, but few do I play regularly. I'm thinking of downsizing...

Is it too much a good or bad thing?

I dunno if you're a collector then this site might answer the question...

So collecting games without actually playing them equals masturbation? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" />
