Okay I'm obviously new in the Neo World but I've been watching it for quite some time. Why you ask. I live in Oklahoma and obviosly not many Neo's show up around here. But some rich kid got one when they first came out, unfortunately his dad went bust and they pawned it. For 10 years I have stared at that system in the pawn shop. Until late last year I convinced them to sell it to me for that's right $25. In the box 2 old style joysticks and Magician Lord. But no cables. It took me 6 months or more to get it to work. Why? Do you realize how hard it is to find a 5v ac adaptor for this thing. I got a Sega 32x rf connecter, but I just finally found a multivolt digital camera ac adaptor that hits 5v and used a multitip size m on negative. And oh my god it works. I've noticed people like to know serial numbers to kind of date the system. I'm no genius on this stuff obviously but I'm guessing 014260 is pretty old huh.

Thats real cool your playing Neo Geo now . It really is the best system for the replay value .

hey man that's a good bargain, but..

i have been going to a swap meet(a place where people sell and buy stuff ) i found out a guy had a video game store and had recently closed it so i asked hime if he had any neogeo stuff he said he had a aes system with 2 games. i was thinking it was going to be around $300-$350 so i asked him how much and he said $10, i was shocked then i relized this guy has no clue what the neogeo system is worth. it turns out that it was a aes system with a converter and 2 game mvs games so i bought it. this week he told me he found 3 box full of mvs games and another system and is selling them to me for another $10. so thats 2 systems with a conveter and 43 mvs games for $20, hows that for a bargain?
