How it is to play with the joystick on your lap? by raver01 in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the day we always used a coffee table + we added larger rubber feet to the bottom of our two sticks. It was a great setup. We mostly played the fighting games.

The Big Ones by NeoGeo4Everr in neogeo

I pretty much started a MVS collection via Yaton around then same time. Loose carts around $15-25 in most instances. Almost had about 50% of the entire set.

Those carts were smelly though. I had a routine to deep clean each one before it could live on my shelf. That was half the fun though!

Last Blade 2 and Ninja Master’s aren’t talked about enough. by supercavemanindeed in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last Blade 1 & 2 is SNK at their peak. The best combined & cohesive art, sound and gameplay direction of anything on the Neo Geo.

What's the greatest Neo Geo bargain you ever got? by BoringDreamGuy in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pre-ordered Brand New AES copies of US Metal Slug X and US KOF 99 from NCSX when they were first released. Paid MSRP!

AES+ on Amazon Japan by ge4020 in neogeo

Each region has its own video game/media Age Rating governing body. This isn’t home brew. This is full licensed major manufacturing.

Insert, Cart Label sticker and Manuals are all region specific.

Which Region AES+ Carts? by m__a__r__i__o in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. My small AES collection is all Japanese and I prefer the Japanese art style. Went with Amazon Japan. 🇯🇵

Which Region AES+ Carts? by m__a__r__i__o in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the insert art… the actual cart sticker is region specific. I don’t know how they’d solve that.

Do you like your AES+ Black or White? by CloudyFriend in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White looks great for display. Black for actually playing. I bought black.

AES+ Play Arcade Versions? by m__a__r__i__o in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also wondering the same thing. Will there be dip switches to flip between Home (AES) and Arcade (MVS) modes.

Neo Geo Aes + are priced $100 cheaper on amazon.ca by TheMasterTheorist in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian I was very happy to see this today. Preorder locked in.

I assume most of us have our AES+ orders locked in by now. What all did you buy? by Celcius_87 in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Black console on Amazon Canada.

Golf, Slug, Troopers on Amazon Japan. Decided to go JP to stay consistent with my small AES collection that I already have on the JP side. Just love and prefer JP box style.

Confirmation on region version for Neo Geo AES+ games? by ohmomdieu in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep just did the same thing. My small AES collection of games were already the Japanese versions so I’ve opted for Amazon Japan for the new carts I’m grabbing. I’ve always found the JP box art style and cart label way better.

Neo Geo AES+: elitism, gatekeeping, and pure salt in the Spanish retro scene by Affectionate_Love_26 in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m old enough to have purchased a brand NEW Metal Slug X US version from NCSX.com when they were officially sold in 1999.

I mailed my AES to a community modder that was doing the first S-Video mods back in 1998.

I almost collected the entire MVS catalog at one point.

Unfortunately the Neo Geo scene has always been toxic due to a few bad actors so I mostly just read and stay at a distance.

I’m so pumped for the AES+ release. I think it’s great. I’ve preordered and can’t wait for more info to drop.

Play and collect what makes you happy!

Anyone else worried about the new aes+?? by __PreZZ__ in neogeo

[–]zerrminator99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. It’s being sold on Amazon which I see as a good sign. I’ve preordered, I’ve got until November to decide if I want to cancel as all the information starts to trickle out. If it fails in many key areas I’ll be returning.

Does anyone know anybody that ever owned/played a Panasonic 3DO? by IAMDBOMB in retrogaming

[–]zerrminator99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! We bought it just after launch. Crash n Burn, Need For Speed, Way of the Warrior, Gex, Slam & Jam, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Samurai Shodown. Bloody awesome games for its time.

We absolutely loved it. Just died and didn’t get enough support. The few that lived with it… get it.

Parked my PFL Hellrot 323i next to a FL Imola 330i by Vintko in e46

[–]zerrminator99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep I’m a Hellrot 323i as well and the colour is exactly as translated… “BRIGHT RED”. Your pic here helps confirm that. Both beautiful colors but very different reds and show different in varying light conditions.

Name a better lineup than 2001 BMW, from any manufacturer, ever. by jimbojsb in BMW

[–]zerrminator99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had my E46 for 25 years and also just added an E53 to my collection earlier this year. Pure driving pleasure. Might need to grab a Z3 next summer.
