Neo Geo Metal Slug 5 PCB, not in cartridge form?

[Nuclear Neo]

Hi

Was just skimming through Neo Geo MVS games and came upon this!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320531929938&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

A Neo Geo game.. that is on its own and does not require the MVS motherboard!

Has anyone seen one like this? any other games?

Thanks!

SVC Chaos and KOF 03 also come in that form.

The epitome of laziness.

this better get bid up. I paid some more money than that price for a cart.

 

[kernow]

Terrible game.. however

Rumours are Samurai Shodown 3 was location tested in this format too.

Really? Any source for that info?

It was discussed on here years back when they were releasing 2003 etc on SVC on PCB format. No idea who said it now.

Thanks dude - I'll have a rummage around the old threads.

Thanks for the info guys, very interesting being on a PCB itself lol, is it much more rarer in this form?

Auction ends in half an hour, i wonder how much it will go for!

Maybe NeoTurfMasta has it. He usually has all the oddball stuff.

There isn't much difference in price, its certainly not rare. Most people don't want them as you can't fit a unibios etc. But meh MS5 innit.

You can with the NeoMS5Masta but you can't use the NeoSVCMasta, different pinout.

 

[kernow]

ok

Blessed be the NeoMasta series

It ended up selling for 52.00 and 15.30 postage (for Australians anyway)

Somehow I can't see MS5 doing well by itself in a cab even back in the day.

heaven forbid somebody else get a good deal

yeah I agree when it was at 20$ it would have been a "good deal". since it ended at about a 3rd of what I paid its not so bad? I am just the jealous type.I guess the complete cart kit is a whole different animal though.-

 

[kernow]

I guess, but its still the same terrible game.

I can't imagine owning the full size PCB of this. The game is one of the two worst Slugs (along with 6) and to have it in a space consuming full size PCB would be a downer. I have several casual gamer friends with only the PS2 Anniversary version of the Slug series and no one has ever bothered playing MS5 more than once to try it out.

I honestly believe 4 is better than 5, at least they tried *something* new with the medal system or whatever. 6 I played through once on PS2 credit feeding, and it was one of the most boring gaming experiences I've had. I gave up after that, no 7 or XX for me thanks.

Only got 2 and X on MVS now, played 1 and 3 to death and don't see the point in owning them if they are just going to sit on a shelf. I can always pick them up again if I feel like it.

I've only played Metal Slug 5 on the PSP metal slug anthology, only played it once... mainly to play all of them + i like the soundtrack on metal slug 5, apart from that the game is O.K....

A full size PCB of the game like the one that sold on ebay would be annoying i reckon, unless you've got a empty cabinet that needs a PCB.. i dunno, i'd just buy a MVS 1 slot instead lol

 

[Nuclear Neo]

What is everyones favourite metal slug? i really like the first one alot, and metal slug2/x is pretty good... i do like metal slug 3, however the final level is anoying in that it goes on for ages.. but its still great

 

[SNKorSWM]

I rotate them in and out of my cab regularly. They play mostly the same anyways and the rotation makes for more level variety, with no one title clearly superior to the rest of the series.

There is a MS5 PCB kit in the NeoStore for sale. Not sure if you guys knew that or not.
