When was the last time you saw a neo geo in arcades?

I've seen a few red cabs back in late 2013 or early 2014 when I went to the Galloping Ghost arcade.

Their selection was pretty good too. They have all the Neo KOF games, all the Neo Metal Slugs except for 2, Samsho I-IV as well as V Special, Last Blade 1 & 2, etc.

I've heard they have a great selection of shmups too.

I don't know of any arcade where I live in Brooklyn, however, in the car wash was a king of fighters 95 cab.

I've never seen one! There were only a couple of arcades in my city growing up, and the oldest thing they had was a Daytona setup.
All those arcades closed 7 or so years ago, so I've got no chance these days. The only Neo cab I've ever seen was the jamma conversion I used to have.

Edit: wait, I saw several in Super Potato when I was in Tokyo in Jan/Feb, never mind!

2012, Casino in Goodge Street, had a lovely selection of old school shooters and beat em ups inc KOF. More latterly they had link up SF4, but sadly the arcade is no more.
I also checked out Namco world hoping to see a Neo, but thats all gun and driving games, better off spending your tokens on the bumper cars (save maybe multiplayer Outrun).

Good post. Last time I saw a Neo cab in the wild was when Chinatown Fair NYC was still open in its original incarnation. :(

Same here. It was also the first time I'd seen Rage of the Dragons in an actual arcade.

I saw one today shortly after arriving in Fairbanks, Alaska for work. It was a four slot at the "Top of the World" Arcade with Alpha Mission 2, Metal Slug 1, Nam 1975, and a 161 in 1 cart. I am going back in a few days to drop a few quarters since my own cab is 3000 miles away from me.

Unfortunately for me, back in the day, I was into the 80's arcade games so I never really paid attention to the Neo Geo. Too bad, because I really would have love to dump a bunch of quarters in one. Right now, there is a 4 slot Neo Geo big red and a 2 slot Neo Geo at a skating rink here. Pretty good selection on the 4 slot that included Metal Slug 2, Strikers 1945 Plus, and Bust A Move Again.
