Just started playing a little Twinkle Star Sprites for the first time. I'm enjoying it - its not one I ever ran across in the arcade back in the day. Might end up playing some King of Fighters this weekend.
Still trying to beat Blue Screen on my aes, but I did finally get my Baseball Stars Pro, should be here in a few days. Just got Metal Slug 2,MVS, in the mail a few days ago, how did I not notice(or maybe I just forgot) this brutal slowdown in the 90's. However with my limited time I have mostly been taking my sweet ass time with Uncharted 4.

Still working on chipping away at Blazing Star. Finally managed to get to stage 4 on 1 credit and without dying. Credit fed through the rest of the game to get more practice on the later levels and managed to beat the stage 4 and 5 bosses without dying. The stage 6 and 7 bosses seem like the hardest obstacles in my way of a 1CC.

After some tries it's clear that Puzzle Bobble 2 is the most gf friendly game for the holidays
I'd love to argue Magical Drop 3 or Joy Joy Kid are better gf games, but you're right. It's easier to get my wife to play Puzzle Bobble or Puzzle de Pon then anything else on the neo geo.
So had a nostalgia trip of sorts. Back in the arcade days I used to drop a ton of quarters into a big red that had Samurai Shodown II and World Heroes. Decided to look for matches in both on 360 and PS3 respectively. So far got someone on World Heroes.

Got a 5CC on Blazing Star w/ Windina. 1CC'd up to stage 5. I can see getting a 1CC up to stage 7, but I don't know if I have the skill to beat the final form of the final boss without dying 3+ times (the first 2 forms are cake). Probably going to play around with the other ships a bit next.

The last C stands for clear. So unless you're clearing the game (or loop if applicable), it's improper to say "I 1cc'd up to stage.."
Anyways, congrats on your progress in the game.

Good point, I definitely goofed my words up last night.
Blazing Star might just be my favorite Neo game now...

Blazing star is ace. The difficulty is nice for people that aren't able to 1cc cave games.

League Bowling is back in the slot. Gameplay mechanics are quite similar to NTM (two-gauge strikes) and audio-visuals couldn't fit better. The only drawback is, that you can't see your buddy's progress, since everything happens simultaneously. Tons of fun anyway, ingenious simplicity.

I've been playing the original Fatal Fury on my AES for the last 3 hours this evening.
Really really enjoyed it, think I'll be playing through the whole series (at least the games I own in the series)

I haven't been back to the original for a long time. I always pick FFS when I feel like some classic Fatal Fury. I might have to give FF1 a play this weekend.

I love the original, it might have something to do with nostalgia for seeing it on GamesMaster and in CVG magazine.
Struggling to beat Geese Howard, good thing for memory cards!

Well i tried a couple of games out last night, Metal Slug and Blues Journey
Metal Slug - I have played this before but i was obviously better at this when I was younger, I was quite frankly shit, set level to 1 (yes!) and still used about 10+ continues to get to stage 3, then I just gave up on that for the night - fantastic game however and loads of fun
Blues Journey - Found this a bit hit and miss, as a platform game I think its quite nice but it didnt really grab me as something special, which is what I think of most of the Neo Games I have seen, I will give it another few go's but I wasnt as impressed as I have been with some of the other games I have tried
Im wondering if its my AES Pad thats the problem (im using an MVS with supergun and AES pad) but the pad doesnt seem to respond so well, maybe I need to replace the Joystick and buttons as they may be worn out - im sure that will improve my game - honest!

my favourite game out of the early neo fighters. soo unique and has a great atmosphere to it. it's almost like watching a 80's movie or playing a beat em' up like final fight. fatal fury 1 has a special place in my heart. even the megadrive/genesis port is great.

Last night I cycled through a number of games on the 111-in-1 cart (SVC, MOTW, Neo Bomber Man, MSX) and had a good time.
Wednesday I played a few rounds of NTM agains Nitsunto. Pretty evenly matched. That convinced him to start looking for a copy for himself to practice.
