Hello all,

I thought I would post my stupid story, because I thought you could all appreciate how crazy a man could be over Neo! ;-) Anyway, I was is Tokyo last week and went into a small game store where I saw every AES cart that I ever wanted. After pinching myself to ensure I wasn't dreaming, I walked up to the counter with Mark of the Wolves, Kabuki Klash, Metal Slug 3, and Shin Oh Ken. Each cart was about $320 US, but Kabuki was on sale for about $150. I couldn't believe my luck, but it took a horrible turn...when I got up to the counter and pulled out my credit card, the guy at the counter said "cash only". At that point, a million crazy things went through my head. I had already withdrawn my $300 for that day and payday wasn't for another few, so I didn't have access to the kind of cash right then and there. Of course none of my co-workers had cash on them either, so I was totally screwed. I think you can get a visual of a man feverishly rushing in and out of every store and bank on the street looking for a way to turn his credit card into cash! Needless to say, all was a total failure. I should go back in a few months, and next time I'll be fully-loaded...but then there is the possibility of them being gone. And how does one get 4 Neo Carts through Customs...hmmmmmm...

I hear you.
It happens to me once and I miss a big deal to get some AES and other great PC Engine titles once.....
Now I'll need to pay more in order to get them...... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Guess somebody forgot to give you that rather important bit of advice. Cash is like a lifeline in Japan. Never be anywhere without it, and I mean a whole heap of it. Under advice I arrived with about $1000 in my pockets...
