What are the SNKG MVS carts??

[gt6plus]

What does the "G" stand for the white MVS carts?

 

[LWK]

I believe 'GIGA', I have a RB2 with this on there as well.
The carts are a jizz white. Or at least the one I got.

 

[NeoGML]

they are? WHITE MVS carts? or is it like, translucent?

 

[Leona]

mine is black

 

[Pro_Gear]

The carts are white in color, not translucent. I have a JPN Kabuki Klash like this...

 

[RyoGeo]

A lot of my Japanese carts are white. Most of my US ones are black. The later ones, though, are usually one of the translucent colors. I like the green translucent the best. I think my MSX is like that.

 

[Leona]

almost all of my carts jp and usa are black only a few jp ones being blue and green etc.

 

[Joe McCabe]

I had like 30 of those white SNKG carts, all Japanese ones. I asked this question awhile ago and no one could answer it. I hope that someone can answer this question this time. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

 

[LWK]

I think there all part of the giga shock series personally...

 

[gt6plus]

Then is World Heroes Perfect a Giga game? The 2 games I have with the SNKG are AOF3 and WHP, both japanese.....

My import King Of Fighters '94 is like that too...

 

[NeoTurfMasta]

I have had a few. My ZedBlade is in the white SNKG cart. The majority of my carts are black.

 

[The Super Spy]

I have a Real Bout Special MVS with a white case and a "G" on the back.

 

[Lee Gray]

I have two carts like that both are from 94-95 sam shodown 2 and kof 94 both white and both japanese,aint got a clue what the G means though?

 

[Meta-Ukyo]

I heard a rumor it's the carts SNK exploited in the Neogeo lands in Japan.
Another rumor said they were reeditions...
But I think this is of interest...
I have a white/gray US LB2 and just sold a white japanese RBS with the "G"
To be continued...

Sorry for the necrobump. Does anyone actually know for sure what the SNKG stands for? I was just looking on google and all I found was this topic and one on racketboy claiming they were rental carts. Who would have rented MVS carts though? The arcades?

 

[Liquid Snake]

SNK is full of mystery..........
This SNK-G also bothers me for years...........what does "G" stand for???

Stands for "Gaijin" that's why they made the carts white.

 

[Heinz]

Well thats a hell of a bump mate.

I always thought they were rental carts as well. I have no idea what the G stands for, though

I guess the arcades would have to see if it was good earner before buying it. Capcom had a rental system with the CPS2 as well, so it wouldn't have been a unique system in that respect.

Try this one for a size:

to me G is for GASHI (rental, you d write gashi and not kashi after kikaku)
SNKG: 新日本企画貸し

Apparently, even Shito didn't know that... back then at least.

Other funny stuff...

SNK-Giga - This doesn't make sense though, since most G games pre-date the Gigachip.
SNK-Game - Hmmmmm, maybe, but it can't be that simple, can it?

Maybe SNKGals, cause they wanted to attract more of them to play video games through rental? Hence pearl white .


Edit: Not that it matters, but a French Wiki offers the same info (4th par.)...

Les cartouches de couleur blanche marqu馥s SNKG sont des cartouches de location (ｫ G ｻ de SNKG pour gashi en fran軋is location)

Here are all of them carts listed: http://www.neogeosoft.com/?section=mvs_rental
