Ouch! Just bought KOF 2k3.

MarrymeMai · Mar 7, 2004

Man, I really shouldn't have. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything for another 5 months. But I've always wanted to own the latest KOF, and this was my last chance. Time to sell some stuff. :emb:

Curt · Mar 7, 2004

Bummer about your Cashflow situation ( I feel ya)

but KOF2003 Is a damn good game.

Big Shady · Mar 7, 2004

Ah yes, I understand your pain. You always tell yourself, "That's it for next 6 months!" then next week you get another AES game

Nash · Mar 8, 2004

haha, that's what i did. i told myself i'd lay off the neo games once i got metal slug 3 but i ended up buying kizuna encounter last week.

Same major malfunction with me... after Metal Slug 5 MVS Cart Kit I was going to lay off the game buying for awhile, but I'm already awaiting a NAM-1975 cart and a STRIKERS 1945 Plus cart already... and might be buying MS 1 sometime next week, so so much for common sense. DOH!

Damn bro, I can't believe you are up to 605 posts in a month :eek:

BTW, I have that prob with games too. Unforutnatly I'm unemployed at the moment, so it's no new toys for me

Q-

It's nice to know that there are other people who spend way too much money on games.
I just took a look at my paypal account and i've spent over $2,000 on ebay since august(MVS CAB and about 30 games so far), and I just bought KOF 03. I just thought I should have the last KOF for the Neo. I felt like a good way to pay homage.

Hello Everyone, My name Is Ben.

and I'm a spendaholic (on the neo anyway)

matrimelee99 · Mar 9, 2004

I try to only buy 1 Neo game per paycheck, but somtimes I slip. As soon as I score Garou and Rage of the Dragons I'll slow down with the spending. Maybe.

Yeah that is the same for me

cLo · Mar 9, 2004

I hear that man. I just bought SvC yesterday, and today I got a loan from one of those payday advance places to pre-order KOF 2003. :glee:

To top it off, I'm supposed to go to San Antonio for Easter. Heh, there goes my vacation money...

Stokers · Mar 9, 2004

Aha!

Its not just me, ever since i got the neo i have been spending, telling myself i will leave it .... and then buying some more

Example bought metal slug 3, decided that would last me for a few months, about a week later bought last blade.

Neo geo games are so cool tho, they have big boxes and stuff

thats all the justification i need

Do you guys think we might suffer from Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder?

striderpunk · Mar 9, 2004

yeah ocd has crossed my mind,

I had to stop when I hugged my kof 98 cart before going to bed,
Its like a plastic teddy bear

and I havent gotten a new game since christmas, so its not untill I beat Aof 2 (or in other words in about three to six months).

its a sad feeling when you reach into your pocket hoping for a lincoln and find lint.

Neo-weirdo · Mar 9, 2004

Does the high price tag for KOF03 mean-low production run?

John_Smith · Mar 10, 2004

Hehe I too feel the burn to spend every available spare cent on the Neo, but it gets worse, I also collect all sorts of Arcade PCB's so theres really no end in sight to this nasty little dilema. At least if ya only collect Neo stuff there's theoretically a limit to how many titles ya can collect!!

Well at least we're in it together brothers

games4lynn · Mar 10, 2004

God bless you people I was starting to feel like I had a serious problem. Now I know I do but atleast you guys have the same problem. That makes me feel a little better.

cLo · Mar 10, 2004

I just put down my pre-order for KoF 2K3, and I got SvC earlier this week. I won't be buying any new games for a few months :crying:

Ralfakick · Mar 11, 2004

I just got Metal Slug 3 in the mail today and promissed myself the same "won't get any games for a while" thing. But I make a descent amount of money now so I'm not going paycheck to paycheck. I hope people here aren't letting this habit get over them, remember there is a whole world out there called outside: it's just beyond your room/dorm/house and there are people that aren't hand drawn and are *gasp* more than 2 dimensional.

kc · Mar 11, 2004

KOF03 made me like KOF again

Kusanagi2004 · Mar 11, 2004

It's not exactly OCD, or anything too completely serious outside of the bounds of addictive thinking. You'll always need more, and there will always be more NEO material to purchase. I can think of many more destructive habits that spend larger amounts of money on intangible products. At least a video game is a purchase that you can enjoy for hours and hours once your purchase it, and there's always a great chance you can resell the product later.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about splurging on SVC or KOF 2003 though. These two games alone are what resparked my interest in SNK all over again. I hope that SNKP continues to produce titles of this quality for many years to come. Hope you enjoy the game man!h

Halox · Mar 11, 2004

I am with everybody here. Two months ago I had three MVS games, and now I have 25 and I am looking to pick up a Matrimelee kit or SVC kit along with a Nam '75 and Magician lord for NGH here in the next week or so... I just can't stop.....HELP ME!!!

justdefend · Mar 11, 2004

The Neo Geo is just plain addicting. I didn't buy an MVS cab too long ago and I already have: Neo Turf Masters, Pulstar, Magical Drop 3, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 5 kit, and just got a KOF 03 kit. With ebay and all the sellers on the board here, I can't keep up!

Word fellow addict. I've been into MVS off and on. But this January I got back into AES cart collecting.... from January til now I've snagged up 30 AES carts, a modded neo sys, accessories, mags/posters, etc... not to mention a MVS cart/kit here and there. I wonder what I'll have by the end of the year.
