NEO GEO AES

It was 1990. SNK was a successful developer in the arcades, and had been an early licensee for the NES. They decided they wanted a piece of the hardware market too, and they weren't going to do it half way. The result was the most powerful gaming platform created to that date. So powerful, that only now, the recent generation of consoles (Xbox, PS2, etc) can play ports of the NEO GEO games without compromise. In 1990 they released the Arcade MVS (Multi Video System), in the distinctive red cabinets, with as many as 6 games in 1 arcade machine!. They also released the Home AES (Advanced Entertainment System) console soon after, with the exact same quality games. This meant no inferior home 'versions', like on other contemporary consoles (Genesis, TG16, SNES), but the exact same gameplay, sounds and graphics of the arcade in your own home. The NEO GEO sported stereo sound, huge scaleable sprites and vivid artistic high resolution backgrounds with multiple layers of parallax scrolling.  It started with solid fighters like Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, but they soon began to redraw the limits 2D gaming with some of the finest 2D action games ever made, like Samurai Shodown II, and Metal Slug. The game cartridges are huge, larger than VHS tapes, and some hardcover books. The last release for the venerable and powerful NEO GEO AES was Samurai Shodown V Special in 2004, making it the longest supported home game console in history. The system's fun and collectibility factor is off the scale, with pricing to match. The price of the system, and the prices of some of the games strike fear in the hearts of the uninitiated. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the NEO GEO AES is the Cadillac of game consoles, and the ultimate in playable collectivity. Once upgraded, the NEO GEO AES is the centerpiece of any gamer's collection, not just to collect, but to enjoy as well. Like the early NEO GEO advertisements said, "Why be a Weenie, when you can be a Hot Dog?".
