lol, game is so overhyped. Good game but not worth the price tag by a long ass shot.

Overhyped as a collector's piece. Underrated as a game if anything.

To me, it's a 100 USD game, good enough to command a high price but no more than 100 bucks, no way. I'm just talking about the game, I can giuve a shit about collector crap, I never talk about games on a collector level. I hate collectors even though I might be seen as one 'cause I have so much shit but that's just 'cause I love too much shit...

Wrong section of the forums.

Since this is NEO GEO General Discussion, i'd have to say Spin Master.

Otherwise... not sure. Most of the Mario games are good. Duck Tales. The Kirby games. Tiny Toon Adventures.

Is Spinmaster on the MVS a higher priced sort of cart these days or nah? I just sort of got into this game on my Wii and I'm thinkin it might be a lot more fun on the cab...

Also:
SMB 3
SM World
Sonic 2
DKC

I'd have to say Rockin Kats, Kirby's Adventure, and Mega Man 4 are my favorite platformers. Trip World for the gameboy is pretty fun but it's short and not really worth the price tag.

Try some Japanese exclusives but still top tier in my book :

Doremi Fantasy for the Super Famicom
The adventure of little Ralph for the PS1

For 2d platformers:

SMB 1-3 (All-Stars versions)
Mega Man 1-6
Ninja Gaiden 1 (Haven't really played the sequels yet)
Pulseman
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Kirby Super Star (The remake was really good too.)
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Kirby 64
Mischief Makers
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
DK Country: Tropical Freeze

As for 3D Platformers, my favorites are easily Crash Bandicoot 1 (haven't played the sequels yet) & Sonic Adventure 1-2, although all 3 games are quite flawed.
