I remember when they decided to stop selling Neo Geo games and had them on clearance. Most AES games were around $50/each at the end.You used to be able to purchase new Neo Geo carts at Babbages aka Gamestop
I must have missed that at my Babbageses. About when was that?I remember when they decided to stop selling Neo Geo games and had them on clearance. Most AES games were around $50/each at the end.
I've seen this pop up online a lot and this wasn't really the case for the neo. Contrary to theories stating that the Neo Geo hardware didn't have a lot of third-party titles due to lack of publisher interest, SNK was actually actively declining/preventing third party developers from releasing titles on their hardware in the early 90's. Battle Master, which was eventually released on the SFC, was one of these declined Neo Geo projects:... because no publisher wanted to make games on NEO.
Like the publishers who released their game on Nintendo or Sega.
I just remember it was sometime in the early/mid 90's. I remember seeing Football Frenzy, Mutation Nation, Fatal Fury, Ninja Combat, etc... all of them on this SALE shelf for like $50/each. Up until that point, that had a Neo Geo Gold system on display in the front window with Magician Lord running.I must have missed that at my Babbageses. About when was that?
I'm gutted by this. A week ago I posted it was being removed from HK, but to see it is truly gone forever leaves a pit in my stomach.The big Hong Kong floating restaurant that Cheng Sinzan's stage bg is based on has sunk. Note the jumbo sign. Sounds like they were taking it to a new location, but things didn't work out.

It sadened me a lot. Thankfully, I had a chance to visit it in every trip to HK, before covid blocked foreign entries in the SAR.The big Hong Kong floating restaurant that Cheng Sinzan's stage bg is based on has sunk.
