Alpha Mission II is underrated imo, it's interesting to see SNK's take on the caravan shooter which was a really popular genre at the time. I'd go with that

Fantastic game and one of my favorites.

If I had to fill a 4-slot then my list would be...

Alpha Mission II
League Bowling
Fatal Fury
Thrash Rally

Would then add 2020 Super Baseball and Sengoku if I had a 6-slot.

Absolutely this.

It's sort of unfair to group the quiz and mahjong titles into "shitty games", because people outside Japan were never the intended target audience in the first place.

I never said the quiz and mahjong titles were shitty.

A quiz video game is shitty no matter how you slice it.

Tron · Dec 5, 2014

Crossed Swords
League Bowling
Super Baseball 2020

I hope that conversion of crossed swords II that razoola is doing turns out right.

I used to play Jeopardy! video games with my friends. It was on every console.

NeoHomeBrew · Dec 5, 2014

My favs of 1991 are of course Fatal Fury, Sengoku and Robo Army.

Good for you, I don't know the quiz in question though.

JLZ · Dec 5, 2014

Thrash Rally. My favorite racing game, along with Power Drive Rally on the jag

Kef9 · Dec 5, 2014

Its got to be Super Baseball 2020 and Fatal Fury from that list. The other games are shite.

Solid_Snake · Dec 5, 2014

Hmm... I think out of that list I would have to go with Alpha Mission II mainly because I love shmups and Fatal Fury because why not.

XiTaU · Dec 5, 2014

2020 baseball was a stape part of my childhood so was king of monsters.
My adulthood introduced me to thrash rally and far from being perfect it is a fun little game i love alot.

Jibbajaba · Dec 5, 2014

I'm going to go play some Burning Fight right now, because fuck you guys.

MCF 76 · Dec 5, 2014

I like Burning Fight, 8 Man, Alpha Mission 2, Ghosts Pilots, Crossed Swords, Sengoku probably a few others I forgot. I don't give a shit what people think of these games. Because you half to recognize these are still 110% better than 3/4 of the games that get by quality today. Majority of games today are a sad pile of steaming poo.

I think it's been long enough since the last one. Same deal as before, pick your favorite titles from 1991.

I think the shitty games are actually worse compared to 1990, but the good games are pretty decent. The most notable release was Fatal Fury, it was the first fighting game on Neo Geo and set the stage for the most saturated genre on the entire console.

Alpha Mission II
Burning Fight
Crossed Swords
Eight Man
Fatal Fury
Ghost Pilots
King of the Monsters
League Bowling
Legend of Success Joe
Mahjong Bakatonosama Manyuki
Quest of Jong Master
Quiz Daisousa Sen
Robo Army
Sengoku
Super Baseball 2020
Thrash Rally

On that list, my favorite games are Fatal Fury, King of the Monsters and Thrash Rally.

I think it was a pretty good year in terms of variety - plenty of different genres and the quite a few decent titles.
I don't know anything about Mahjong Bakatonosama Manyuki, Quest of Jong Mastera and Quiz Daisousa Sen but pretty much all of the remaining games are IMHO still fun to play (obviously some more than others, but in my book even something like Legend of Success Joe is still worth the occassional credit).

aha2940 · Dec 8, 2014

Crossed swords and Alpha Mission for me.

2D_mastur · Dec 8, 2014

Sengoku, still bat-shit crazy nearly 25 years later.

Crossed Swords... ALL HAIL SATAN GOAT.

SNKorSWM · Dec 8, 2014

Burning Fight, cuz it blows, or at least the hobo does.

Bill Kilgore · Dec 9, 2014

Doubting between Sengoku and Burning fight. They both have their ups and downs. If you take the best of both games and mix it up in one, you would probably end up with one of the best beat'em-ups on the system. Offcourse the hobo's have to be in it.

Metal-Willis · Dec 10, 2014

The original list of games was very nice (for that time). It showed a nice diverse selection of games for the Neo-Geo arcade experience.

I don't have it anymore but I say League Bowling. They made bowling extremely fun to play and that itself is a tough thing to do, especially for people who typically don't like bowling.

Buzz games for the Playstation didn't.
Easily banged a couple of chicks using that Music quiz :tickled:

Quizzes for the Neo wouldn't get me the same result

glazball · Dec 10, 2014

I enjoy Crossed Swords, Burning Fight, Sengoku and Thrash Rally though my favorite of the bunch would have to be Robo Army. The clanking of metal on metal is just so satisfying.

chrd · Dec 10, 2014

Crossed Swords
League Bowling
Robo Army

Although I do like the tunes of Alpha Mission II as well.

ckchan · Dec 13, 2014

My favorite games are Fatal Fury and Burning Fight.

Gentlegamer · Dec 13, 2014

Definitely Fatal Fury. I had a great time playing through the game "co-op" with a friend, taking turns on rounds and occasionally ganking a tough enemy and then each other to advance to the next fight. Geese Howard took us a while to figure out, so it was immensely satisfying to beat the game by kicking him out the window of a high rise building, Die Hard style.
