The Unexpectedly High-Stakes World of Neo Geo Collecting
For some fans of the vintage video-game console, indulging in nostalgia means spending tens of thousands of dollars.www.newyorker.com
What if we could chemically recreate the same smell and taste of a well-aged whiskey or wine in a fraction of the time? Would you buy it? Probably not. You're paying for all the natural aging and stuff.What if we could replicate the smell of new AES carts? Would you really need to own them if you could just cram that smell into your nose.
that or they create threads about going back into collecting and regretting selling all their stuff in the 2000sRemember the emulation brigade that used to butt into every thread telling you that your original system won't last forever? (They were right - mostly because of capacitors.) It seems they've been replaced with Team Mister these days
Nancy vs the caddie from TPG, who would win in a fight? I put my money on the 2-player version of the caddie, with the tooth.Top Player's Golf is a decent game, which is an incredible feat given the numerous terrible golf games that existed up to 1990. How can you not love the excellent FM music?
Neo Turf Masters is the most overrated Neo game I've ever played. It constantly holds your hand and makes you want to gouge your ears out with a spoon with that "ON DA GWEEN" shit.
Kiss my ass, I don't care if you're upset.
I then spent £100 having a UniBios fitted

And they are also right.Remember the emulation brigade that used to butt into every thread telling you that your original system won't last forever? (They were right - mostly because of capacitors.)

Bravo sir. I don't think I've ever heard a man so upset by a golf game before - I'd hate to see your reaction to morning coffee you didn't like. And for the record BTG/NTM is an amazing game - $15k+ amazing, certainly not, but then again big tymer Neo AES is about collecting and not playing. And if all you want to do is play the games, then MVS is always there with super reasonable prices for most games so raging against AES prices when you just want to play the games strikes a little inconsistent.Top Player's Golf is a decent game, which is an incredible feat given the numerous terrible golf games that existed up to 1990.

I keep hearing good things about Retrotink. Has the affordability finally got there?Yeah, if you're going to spend the stupid money to buy AES carts (which no one should at this point), don't cheap out on a $30 cable to play them on. Get an OSSC or a Retrotink 5x.
Anything beyond typical age issues like caps and batteries leaking, damaging traces?And they are also right.
Not really much of an issue with console games yet but arcade board failure rates are increasing. I have a stack of CPS1 games. Plugging them in and turning them on is like playing Russian roulette.
Yeah, failing custom chips.Anything beyond typical age issues like caps and batteries leaking, damaging traces?
This x1000, I should have never got back into arcade pcbs in late 2016. Same issue with me, it was like every month a pcb would have some sort of an issue. After having like 5 or 6 boards fixed I said fuck this shit and got out while I could before anymore took a shit on me.And they are also right.

Same thing happened to me. I lost a small fortune to arcade pcbs and crts dying over the years. It's why I do mister and lcds now. Yeah it's not the same but they just work and there's a lot to be said about that.This x1000, I should have never got back into arcade pcbs in late 2016.

@Tarma; I REALLY shouldn't have sold stuff I did..!! Back in 2002, when I joined, I shared a sales post and I remember you slating me (convinced I worked for Raven Games) as I was selling a US English Metal Slug 1 AES on ebay and used the pictures off this NeoStore.. and you were right to and to be dubious too looking back as it did look like a scam..!! I think we had much better and more friendly chats / relationship after that in those days when Rot was around too... But truth was that really wasn't a scam.. I bought it for about $750 from AI Trading GoldenShop in Japan and it was 100% legit.. think it did about a grand just over on ebay. I used the neostore pics as I ordered it and wanted it up for sale ASAP as back then.. this was pre-paypal so I did a bank transfer (at a bank!) and that was an insane amount of money back then... now man how I wish I had kept that..! I also bought a collection off Frazer Rhodes and met him in person to exchange.. got an Mslug 2 and X both in English along with Pulstar, Blazing Star, Big Tournament Golf and Stakes Winner 2 and many more... sold the lot. Probably seemed a lot at the time but man, I could pay off my mortgage now with it all...Now, if I had a dollar for every time I read that on this site I'd have enough money to buy my stuff back.
Kinda should be the motto of this forum:
Neo-Geo.com: You should have never sold your stuff
