I have seen many replies, and I came up with this question. Don't flame me if you are a port fan, I just want to see how many people are from one side and the other, or both. I buy the original neo stuff and ports as well.

I'm straight. I love the originals, but they're not all affordable so I've played on mvs,cd,psx. I have a friend with an aes, but it didn't work when I came over.

The ports got me interested, my friend with an AES got me hooked, and now I'm buying AES stuff too.

MVS first, CD second, port last.

I'll play my MVS for the games, but the ports have a few extra options I like.

Combat schools, art galleries, animated intros, things like that.

But for playing? Nothing but NEO. Ports are a poor imitation.

It all started with World Hero's for me in a local arcade, then I got a CD system when it was released (I never got any ports). Now I've got a couple MVS boards.

Pretty much all AES - couple DC KoF ports, mabye the PSX version of Metal Slug X, and I have loads of ROM's burnt onto a CD - somewhere (That I never really use) - but 99% of my NeoGeo time is spent on the AES.

It started with a port (Sam Sho on SNES), then I checked it out via the ROM and decided I had to have the REAL thing. So invested in a Super Nova, 4 Slot MVS and a bunch of games.

Best game/system purchase I've made in a LONG time. Even at $300 for some MVS games, they are STILL that much better than a $50 NGC,PS2 or X-Box game.

I do still play some ports, like Twinkle Star Sprites, since I can't seem to find an MVS cart of it.

Neo who??? I just come here for the drama ;) .

I started with a port of Sam Sho for the genny and got hooked on SNK games from that. So I've been all AES for around 8 years. Now I'm starting to close off my AES collection and I'm going MVS.

i play all ports at the moment, if i could afford AES/MVS then thats what i'ld buy. Does that make me any less a neo fan than anyone else? i think not.

Here because of real Neo gaming. Started playing in the arcades, couldn't afford the AES back in the day so I relied on ports, then picked up an AES with a ton of games from my friend. Still pick up ports occassionally.
