Is my old brain fading or does the CD version have an intro that isn't on the cart? I always like seeing the cart/CD differences in these videos.

I bit the bullet and ordered the MVS NeoSD from Stoneagegamer just for the upcoming video after The Super Spy. Unfortunately it's currently out of stock, so I'm not sure how long it will take or if it will delay the next two videos.

I want to get a NeoSD to keep some day; perhaps the AES version, but for now I'm going to have to sell it on the forums whenever I get done with it. I'm saving money and now just isn't the time for this major purchase.

I don't think so. What does the intro you're thinking of look like.

I just sold my cart so I can't compare now, but I thought there was a CD into not on the cart. I even found an old post of mine when I discovered it. Maybe it happens on MVS attract mode and I just never sat for it to come around? It's also in a Wiki Cyber Lip article...not that that holds a lot of water.

Nice Cyber-Lip review. This was one of the Neo games I played most in arcades when I was a kid. Loved it back then, still enjoy it today.

Interestingly there were more voice samples in the game originally. Not sure why they cut out a few and toned down the voice use. But the proto I have of it most certainly is far more talkative than the release version is.

I can help you compare when the cart gets here

Decided it's time I jump ahead and review a real game for once:

Very funny stuff. Loved the ending :) I can't wait for the full review! Perfect timing to jump ahead. Your videos have gotten better each time. Seems like you are hitting your stride.

Thanks. For the record, I'm not actually making a Neo Turf Masters review at this time. The video is just an April Fool's joke. The beginning of the video includes the tongue-in-cheek statement that the full review is coming in 2035. I don't want to ruin my gimmick of reviewing the games in order.

The nectar of that sweet Neo Turf Masters bait was way too delicious to not take. I figured the 2035 comment was the April Fool's joke and we would get it next. I know you said you'd stay in order since the beginning, but I wouldn't have been mad :) I'm okay with waiting as long as you do more PC-88 Paradise in the near future :-J

Mr. Jakes has the next PC-88 Paradise planned. I just don't know when he's finally going to make it. All the vids in 2018 so far have all been mine.

If I keep up the same rate of about 10 games a year, I should get to Neo Turfmasters in about 8 years. So 2035 was a conservative estimate. I have no idea right now if I'll speed up or slow down.

Then you should like this one. I am worried though that I'm throwing in so many cutaway random comments that some viewers may get lost. I already got a weird comment on the video.

I think this was the right treatment for this game. A serious review would have been really boring, and I believe people watch Youtube most of all to be entertained. There will be time for a more serious review in a different future installment.

God this game sucked so hard.
I'm surprised you actually stuck with it for two hours. Kudos, and fun video. Less interesting than your other reviews but that's the game's fault, not yours.

It's not that bad. You kinda get into a rhythm of stabbing folks.

I still don't know what the commenter meant anout the crab wanting rum. Rum isn't anywhere in the game or the video from what I remember.

I like how the next three unreleased games are going to be in one video, should make the video progression go by faster.

Really had no choice on that. It has always been my plan. I don't want to leave a gap, but there's little to talk about with those, since little is known.

This will be the only time I have to do it. The rest of the NGH/NGM catalog is accounted for.

Just subbed to your channel and watched a bunch of your older videos. Not sure how I missed this for so long. Great stuff!

Probably because my vids aren't coming up in Youtube searches.

Isn't Ngh 158 not accounted for?
