What game is a MUST HAVE?

blackride · Jul 27, 2003

I will be getting my system next week and I wanted to know what games you guys thought were MUST HAVES? If you could also put what you think they will cost me that would be cool also.

Thanks Again Blackride

Get at least two copies... you're bound to wear one copy out at some point.

blackride · Jul 27, 2003

Are you joking? I read somewhere that this game was HORRIBLE.

NGT · Jul 27, 2003

I really like Top Hunter. I got mine on these boards for $70. I would also say KOF 95 is a must have, which also cost me $70 on ebay.

Tarma · Jul 27, 2003

Who said that?

Trust me. LoSJ is one of the finest games produced on the Neo. I'll admit the graphics are a little dated now, but the gameplay is still up there with the likes of Kof '98 and MotW.

You'd be daft not to buy it. Believe me, you'll be addicted within minutes.

I'd start out with Samurai Shodown 1 homecart myself. That is the one game I'd choose if I were only allowed one neo geo game, then again its my personal fave

even better its cheap too

Wha.. I thought Slug 4 was your #1 Neo pick? wink

rimm_rs · Jul 27, 2003

Hey dude- you'll have to read a lot of reviews andf th eones on this site are very good. neogeoforlife is also a good resource.

BTW, Joe, Football Frenzy and the quiz games are pretty bad, the other people were pulling your chain.

A good title depends upon your likes, so here's a rundown:

expensive=$250 or less
cheap=$100 or less

Action:
Expensive: Metal Slug 3
Cheap: Cyber Lip

Shooter
Expensive: Viewpoint
Cheap: Last Resport

Fighting:
Expensive: Real Bout 2 or Real Bout Special
Cheap: Samurai Shodown II

Adventure:
Macigian Lord

Sports:
Expensive: Neo Turf Masters (golf)
Cheap: Baseball Stars 2

Sidescroll Beat-em-up:
Expensive: Sengoku 3
Cheap: Sengoku 2

Try a few of the above first, if you have the $ and like the Neo enough, here are a some titles I own that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, but they are rare a cost a lot of money:

Metal Slug X (action)
Blazing Star (shooter)
Pulstar (shooter)
Mark of the Wolves (fighting)

I hope this helps a bit. Also if you read a review, please note that many people use 7 or 70 as the average, so a lot of these games get an 8 or 80 and that means just a bit above average. When in doubt post a reply asking people fot their thoughts.

Last Blade 2. Best Neo game ever. It's one game I can pick up and play whenever and enjoy the hell out of it.

droid · Jul 27, 2003

Hey Slerch,

Cmon dude...you know you were dying to say SS64!

How's the Neo64 btw?
Lucky bastard! :cool:

Jedite · Jul 27, 2003

First you should start with some of the cheaper, older carts because they are good games to start out with. After that, you can start buying the more expensive carts.

Cheap Carts I recommend:
Fatal Fury 2
Fatal Fury Special
Samurai Shodown
Samurai Shodown II
KOF 94
KOF 95

Expensive games I recommend:
KOF 98
Last Blade
Last Blade 2
KOF 96
Fatal Fury 3
Real Bout Special
Real Bout 2
Garou Mark of the Wolves

I'd say SS64... but I'm sure he was looking for just straight Neo, not the Hyper Neo Geo!

Firsttly, KOF 96 is not expensive, in fact I think is the better KOF deal you can get if you consider its price/quality. I got my MINT copy for roughly 75 USD, and that’s not a lot of money for a Neo Geo AES game.

In other words, if you want to buy a Kof game the best one you can get for cheap is KOF 96 (KOF 95 is good, but KOF 96 beats it).

Another must have is Fatal Fury real Bout, you can get one for about 80 USD.

The same goes for Fatal Fury 3, about 60/70 USD.

Fatal Fury Speacial: 45/55 USD The same goes for Samurai Shodwn

AOF 2: Very good and challenging, about 45 USD.

Samurai Shodown 2 is very cheap and a great game, for 50 USD you can get it even Brand New.

Samurai Shodown 3: Great game, but ger SS2 first (70 USD).

The first one to get should be KOF 96 or SS 2 IMHO.

What game is a MUST HAVE?
