Playmore brought us a lot of smelly things, and NEOGEO was one of them.
The correct writing is NEO·GEO with Alt 0183
In all the fonts I used to vectorize paper assets it was not the bullet but the japanese middle point thing

Same. I still do, but I have noticed that, in general, it is no longer hyphenated; it's either Neo Geo or NeoGeo. Not quite sure why.
I switched over to using a space some time ago.

The lack of space/hyphen/or dot will become the Mark of The Noobs.

"You guys like NEOGEO?"

"Wanna play Snessssss?"

You don't say SNES or NES, like RADAR or SCUBA?

So does the space or bullet in Neo Geo/Neo•Geo have some sort of glottal stop or something?
