SNK/Neo Geo fans unite! (Official thread, I suppose, don't see one on the first page)

Surprised I didn't see this thread earlier.
I'm a huge SNK fighter fan. The big draw for me is I like the characters more than other fighters like Street Fighter. Their stories and personallities grab you. Plus they don't add a new Shoto Bros. Clone in every installment.

Ever since I got my marvel vs capcom machine I've been in the arcade mode. Tonight I managed to get a MV-1F with world heroes 2 jet for around 50 on ebay. Now I just need to find a cabinet to put it in (I'll test it out in my MvC cabinet but i want it to have its own cabinet).

Well I just got my MVS board. Too bad I'm redoing the cpo on my machine, so I cant play it, but it works great. I only have 2 games so far, Samurai showdown and world heroes 2 jet.

I am planning to build a 1 slot conversion cab with the board mentioned in my above post. It got me thinking and I was thinking if anyone reads this thread and has a MVS cabinet why not post pics of it?

[quote name='hootie']I wish I could get a Neo-Geo AES, but the games and MVS converter are too damn much.... [/quote]
Having an AES, in my opinion, is nice but merely a luxury of Neo gaming. 90% of the time the game is more expensive and harder to come by. If you do go the AES with MVS cart route then you're getting the benefit of cheaper games but the AES and Converter are still quite the premium.
For a scant few hundred you can buy (or if you're sufficiently handy - make) a consolized MVS MoBo and be done with it.
Beyond that you'll essentially have an all but complete supergun that you can play any Jamma game on.

[quote name='hootie']Well, first I need to get a job, but I am also really into getting a NGPC.
Does anyone know the MUST HAVE games of the NGPC? I already know I need to get SNK vs. Capcom MotM[/QUOTE]
Not alot of games for this system but SNK vs Capcom :Card Fighters is also a hot little cookie. Very addicting. Some of my personal favorites:
Samurai Showdown 2
Metal Slug 1 & 2
Fatal Fury: First Contact
Dark Arms

[quote name='hootie']Would a NGPC be worth getting, or should I avoid it?
I already have a DS Lite, if that makes a difference[/QUOTE]
Unless you love fighters you could probably pass it up. Like I posted before, CvS MotM and Cardfighters are awsome, but a new Cardfighters is coming out to the DS in a couple months. I found a NGPC in Japan for 500 yen ($5) a year ago. Plus my friend sold me his system and both CvS MotM & Carfighters for $20 total. If you can find a deal like that then it's worth it but I doubt it.

I'd say so. Even if you don't like fighters, there are plenty weird little quirky things if you look around.
In addition to the Samurai Showdown 2, Metal Slug 1 & 2, Fatal Fury: First Contact, Match of the Millenium, Card Fighters and Dark Arms recommendations, I would also suggest Biomotor Unitron, Cotton, Neo Turf Masters, Puzzle Bobble Mini, Magical Drop, Dive Alert, Baseball Stars, Faselei and pretty much any fighter on the system. It's a great little machine to get some milage out of.

Greeting to all, long time Neo-Geo collector myself, I started my Neo-Geo addiction in the 90s, none of my games cost me over $400, yes, I paid $270 retail price for Metal Slug 1 when it was released.
If you're confused about systems, you can look at MVS (arcade system) as the center of Neo-Geo, SNK made their money primarily from arcade cartridges (MVS), 148 offical carts. Home system, using AES carts, with 117 out of those 148 carts ported to the home system, which are identical to MVS except the number of pins at interface.
Neo-Geo CD games are reprogrammed from MVS carts, there're only 8 games that didn't come out from MVS but original CD only titles. You can see the master list
