In the humble capital of MN, something was attempted that was never known before in the history of the Neo Geo.

THE Neo->Neo Link cable function!

Yes, that's right friends, at the risk of life, limb, and worse yet - League Bowling carts, the enigma of the link function long dormant within the Neo's long history has been uncovered.

Here is but a preview of this breakthrough, and oft ignored, feature of the Neo-Geo:

Look forward in the next week or two to a partial FAQ of how you too can make this a reality in your own home.

It's the Big Labowski in your own home!

  • No more dorky shoes to wear!
  • No more expenisve lane fees to pay!
  • Tired of loser strangers? Invite your friends and hang out with known losers!

GregN,

If you want to put together a write up of what you did and how you got it to work (with whatever pics you have) I would really like to host it as a feature connected to the Neo Glossary.

Just send it to me.


Bobak!

Sounds great to me! But I can't accept all the credit. Verbatium deserves equivalent praise for some pics, suggestions and help, as well as everyone at the MN Neo getogether for help in testing.

Good job everyone.

I'll write up a micro-FAQ for the League Bowling link during the week.

Hey! Let's Bowl BEEEEEEEEEEEATCH!

I tried this out some years before with Thrash Rally, but I hadn't worked. Please can you describe the cable you have used for it? Will there be a special option-menu on the screen, if it is running? Do you have something to look for when turning on the two NGs? Please let me know, I'm curious :)

Cheers

This was cool, but it gets better. At the next gathering we will attempt the most insane stunt the Neo Geo has ever done.......4 League Bowling carts, 4 Neo Geo's, 8 controls, MASS LEAGUE BOWLING FUN!!!

We are pretty certain it is possible and will once again risk life and limb to have fun with League Bowling!!!

Hey Let's Bowl.....BITCH!!!
