I was wondering how many times NeoGeo MVS/AES systems, and other NeoGeo related stuff have appeared on TV shows or commercials.

Just tonight, I was watching MadTV on Fox, and noticed a kid playing a beautiful NeoGeo MVS system at an arcade. I didn't recognize the game being played, mostly because I was trying to make sure I actually saw a NeoGeo on cable TV. Sure enough it was a large red MVS system. Hopefully the show will re-run so I can see the game being played.

A couple of days ago I saw a cell-phone commercial. Some dude was playing Art of Fighting on his Cell phone and I thought that was pretty cool.

So have any of you guys ever seen any NeoGeo stuff on TV?

He was playing Nam75. He was playing a full size cab, and next to him was one of those mini MVS machines.

Sweet. I didn't even notice that. That means NeoGeo's are still big and are popular in arcades. I was really shocked when I saw this, that I didn't even bother to look at the machines beside him.

i was watching comedy central, and it was friday night stand-up. and on the stage was a broken scoreboard a skateboarding ramp some other junk. some miscellanous cab, and a candycab. the white kind with the big blue thing over the top, the blue part was painted white. i could barely make out the nam-75 sign on the screen, then i knew it was mvs.

An Episode of Northern Exposure where Ruth-Anne takes off on Chris Stevens' Bike and hangs out with bikers in a a dive diner. In that diner you'll see a wonderful 2 slot original Neo Cab.

I was watching Saturday Night Live on comedy central and in a Newt Gingrich Skit(Chris Farley was playing as him) they had a 4 slot in the back with baseball stars playing.

I was so happy when i saw it.

On HBO back in 1993 or 1994 there was a made-for-HBO movie called "Strapped" about some black kids who grew up in a tough neighborhood and the decisions they faced, etc, etc.

The movie sucked, but there was one scene where the main character is visiting a drug dealer friend who was playing an actual NEO GEO Aes system with the game 8Man!

Does anyone else remember this game?
