it takes time to grasp the real power/essence of neo geo.

The true neo geo experience is playing it in the arcades, not to mention the very rich guys back in the days bought a mv25up to enjoy really arcade feeling: https://x.com/autobahnjp/status/1716633847536984210/photo/2 Yes, aes is poor people from a real arcade perspective/experience. And it has...

My post would like to point out what I have learned after 35 years of neo geo loving: MVS is way superior gear than AES. More games, more options and real arcade feeling played with super ( snk when possible) cabs. MVS was the gear for truly fortunate people...aes is a more poor counterpart...

You know Alec, I remember talking 20 years ago with Carlson (16-bit) about the real danger for neo geo collectors to buy fakes thinking it was the real deal...Carlson said there was no need to worry, the market was far from being flooded with perfect replicas....the time has now come

here is the buyer ps someone speaking japanese should give him heads up
