Greetings. Been a lurker here for years, made an account a couple years ago, and now finally posting as I plan on making a return to NG after having and selling arcade, AES and MVS systems and games and leaving the hobby several years ago (really wish I wouldn't have sold that Metal Slug 3 AES cart in '02).
I'm a collector and retro gaming enthusiast. After years of playing NG games primarily through emulation on various gaming consoles, I can't let go of the urge to once again obtain the original games and play them in their purist form. I still have the same enthusiasm for Neo Geo as I had in the 90's drooling at the system and games at gaming stores, knowing the harsh reality of never being able to obtain them.
Times have changed, but ironically, some of the AES carts still are ridiculously out of reach with prices reaching into the thousands for some.
I'm looking at getting on the list for a JNX CMVS when James re-opens orders next month, and also on the hunt for a stock AES system with no mods in collector grade condition. Basically, the AES to satisfy my collecting and nostalgia itch that I can plug into my bedroom CRT next to the NES/SNES/GEN and then have the CMVS with Frameister for pure NG gaming on the big screen.
Thanks for reading and see you all on the boards.
