Hello! I've finally joined Neo-Geo.com after a few buyers of mine (from ebay) said I should join!
I've been into Neo Geo for a long time now. Originally AES but have gone more into MVS over the last few years as I also play Jamma boards so have gone the whole supergun route.

that's quite a generous bet coming from a Scot! Being part Scot myself I know it's hard to part with cash so IDchappy must think he's on a winner

Hi!
Hi everyone!
I guess I just signed up and wanted to introduce Myself.
My name is ChaosCharza, and I love Arcades, especially that plucky and worthwhile machine, the Neo-Geo.
I remember that wherever I went to small arcades as a kid in the 90's I saw them. They were unique, fun, and I have great memories attributed. I can remember 11 years ago playing Spin-Master almost all the way through (we ran out of quarters) with a good friend at the time.
I initially came to this site as I am in the market to buy a machine (details when my privileges on here are extended). However, seeing how close-knit this forum is (particularly Cappadonna's amazing post on the forum's stance toward scams), I feel like I can make this a good home on the interwebs for myself and all those around the forum. I ain't a troll or a spammer (or else I'd be banned preeetty quickly), and if I mess up on even small things, it's far from intentional and will jump immediately to correct it.
So, yeah. Thanx Guys! I look forward to seeing you all here!

Welcome Loris 
Hey guys I'm new here. Hope to learn a lot. I was in High School win the neo-geo came out and I just drooled over these things. They have one at Gameworks in town and it was nice to still see it get so much respect (along with a couple of CPS2 fighters). I don't think the kids there realized how legendary this system is...or even that it was old school for that matter.
Now that I have some $$ to play with it's time to make a game plan to pick one of these babies up. As much as I love the looks of the AES, I have a feeling I'll be going the MVS route. I have a feeling that if I get an AES, I'll missing out on a lot of great games. Plus, I think I'd like to build my own consolized MVS if possible. It would be quite a project for me to obsess over. I see a two slot board for sale locally so maybe I'll talk to the guy to see what's up with it.
Now to do some reading and catch up on everything I've missed!

Welcome!
MVS is the cheapest way but you could always get an AES with MVS converter so that you can still play MVS exclusive games as well as getting a good AES collection
Yeah, that may be the way I end up going for now. I'm working out a deal on an AES right now. I like the look of the AES, and for me, that's a lot of the experience. But maybe an MVS project will be something I can work on over time. BTW, I can't believe MVS converters are $250...I was hoping like $150 or so. Maybe the Phantoms are cheaper now there are better alternatives?
Cool thing is I can start off with the cheap games for now to get my feet wet. Magician Lord and Sengoku 2 are new and exciting to me :-) Ignorance is bliss ;-)

Hey man, that's sweet. Just missed a deal on a two-slot board locally :-( Would love to get an MVS setup.
Not sure when you can actually post here. I guess we're just supposed to start responding to peoples' topics. I'd feel like butting in on a group of friends' conversation when they don't even know me. I guess it's safe for us "Time Neo Newbies" here for a while ;-) Maybe I should start a forum called Neo-Newbies where new people could actually join and ask all their stupid questions...and maybe they could even start topics ;-)

Good question, but I just finally figured out I can at least reply to a thread! Time to go high jack someone else's thread....
Anyhow, first post usuals:
long time arcade collector, accidently bought a neogeo yesterday! been wanting to find a real dedicated neogeo cab for a long time now, but this will do. Was buying another cabinet (SNK - SAR (search and rescue, ls30 joysticks)), and picked up a neat looking cab ($50) -- ended up having a MV-1FS board with Art of Fighting in it

Well I am also brand new and have ust figured out this whole probationary thing. I am building a home arcade and just landed my excalibur - a 6 slot mvs cab in great shape with 11 games. Now i am here. Im not planning on selling anything unless i end up with doubles of something or end up with a better version of what i have. I will however be looking to buy some things. I hope to be an active member. The neo geo was the unbotainable toy of my childhood. I am stoked to finally have one. Just saying 'hi' and once my restriction is over, i will be much more active.
