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:

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 :p

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!

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)

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.

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...:D

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

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.

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!!:p

Well at least we're in it together brothers:D

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:

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.

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

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.
