I've lurked as a guest long before I purchased my first Neo Geo console in the 3rd quarter of last year as I have always thought about purchasing a Neo Geo system with loving the ports of games I've played on my other systems such as my Sega Mega CD and PlayStation 2, along with loving the music of the game which caused me to purchase multiple soundtracks.
I first came into contact with the Clear NGPC when I was testing it at work, as the previous owner was wanting to sell it to the store.I have always loved portable consoles and fell in love with the clicky control stick and decided to pick it up for my ever growing system collection along with the 3 games which the owner sold with it, Puzzle Bobble, Metal slug 1st missions and Sonic.
After I had completed all 3 of the games I grabbed a list of all the games for the system and started looking for whatever I could find in my local charity shops, retro gaming shops and carboot sales. It would have been around December and my collection had gained copies of Neo Dragonswild, Neo Mystery Bonus, Neo cherry master (non colour/japanese), Neo Derby Champ, King of Fighters R1 &R2.
After Christmas I decided to Start using eBay to locate games as my local area had seemingly been picked completely dry since I got the KOF R1. I wanted to get either a Samurai Spirits/Shodown or a Fatal fury game as the ports I have on the Sega CD are in my top 5 games for that system. I quickly found and picked up Samurai Shodown 2 and Fatal Fury First contact but now wanted to obtain the 1st Samurai Shodown/spirits game.
The only listing on there at the time was the one bundled with the NGP system and strap. I decided I would go for it and watched the listing. During my lunch break between classes the auction was scheduled to end as was only at £20 and I waited until the final 10 second to send my bid of £100 (£50 under the only other listing for the system and game bundle which appeared on eBay 1 day previous) managing to obtain it £20-£30 under my maximum bid.
After this I played through my new games and once completed I'd started to buy a new game 1 by 1 after I beat the previous one as some had started to appear locally and then the rest obtained online. There was few exceptions to this which was that I obtained a 2nd copy of KOF R1 due to my original not having a faded sticker, water damaged insert and no manual. The second exception being when I purchased Card fighters clash where I purchased both the SNK & Capcom ones at the same time and played the SNK one while my brother played the Capcom one.
With my love of soundtracks I have purchased what ones I could find which has only been 2 copies of the SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium sound track One of which remains sealed.
I now have a nice collection of 30 different games, latest purchase was Puyo pop which I have finished and now wait for my copy of Gals Fighter to arrive so I can play that.
I will update this either to reformat my post or once I get either a large quantity of other games or when I get another Neo Geo system.
As I'm new to these forums sorry if I've formatted this wrong and will greatly appreciate any help given.
