I usally prefer later neo geo titles just because they're more perfected them the earlier ones. Such as fatal fury, compare the first one to garou.

Me too actually. Well, 1996 is my favorite "later" year. One shouldn't discriminate on year alone though.

October 2012, I saw one in the arcade at Disney's Grand Californian hotel. It was the first time I seen a MVS 2-13. Very Cute!

Every arcade I've been to in China has at least a few candies, and yeah most have a KOF or Metal Slug, but the oddest thing is that they ALL have Double Dragon. I've always found that kinda odd.

I just moved to seattle and I found an arcade bar called 8-bit. The only neo cab I saw was a conversion cab with metal slug 4. Cool arcade though...

Not arcade really but our cc's pizza has a arcade room with a mini big red with a 4 slot in it but only 3 games Metal Slug 2 , Art of Fighting , Samurai Showdown .
It has happ parts with slight burn in I have asked the guy who rents the machines to ccs pizza to purchase it have went all the way to 600 in the past he refuses. Says he makes to much money on it to sell.

Last time I saw one in the wild there is a place called Leapin' Lizards in Port Chester, NY. It's a children's amusement center that has a small arcade section. I recall playing Aero Fighters 2 on it growing up, but havent been there since my little cousin's birthday party a couple of years back. That machine looked like it needed some love, so if its still there I may end up making the owner an offer.

In Las Vegas:

One 2-slot in Circus Circus' arcade. As far as I've seen, the only casino arcade remaining to have one, definitely none left at the other MGM Resorts properties. I work for IT for them and didn't get an opportunity to get close to see what games were in it as I was on a job at the time.

One 2-slot in Insert Coins on Fremont Street (Sam Sho 2 and KOF '96). Second player controls were bunk on it.

One 4-slot in a big indoor soccer building in Summerlin. There were two, but I bought one of them. The other had Magician Lord, Puzzle Bobble, and World Heroes.

I heard there was at least one in another arcade bar called Hi-Scores in Henderson, but I haven't been there yet.

There's also the 4-slot and 6-slot I have in my extra room at my house, so it seems like the Neo has found a way to survive in some form out here.

Hey I can reply to this thread now.

Before this weekend, I dunno. I seriously have to go on vacation to FIND an arcade. We don't even have a mall food court one anymore. However this weekend a campground I visited had a 1-slot with MS4 in the rec room. If I was staying longer I might have played. Still looking for the cart myself.

When I went home a few weeks back, the pizza place by my college apartment still has bust a move going in the big red. University Pinball in philly of course has theirs going too.

Closer to where I'm at now, I think there was one at 8 on the break when I went last week.

Still looking for the cart myself.
Have you checked ebay?

At SF State about a week ago! They have a single slot with a Metal Slug in it. Why he doesn't put a 4 slot in it I'll never know. Only arcade left around here :/

There are a couple of Big Reds at Conan's Pizza in Austin, TX. One even has a 161-in-1 Multicart in it.
