There is one local chain that I could rely on to have a selection of title for the more niche systems, as opposed to the other which might get an item in on rare occasion but are usually dry on that type of stuff. However, of course, that selection comes at a price. Not knowing where you live, the only answer I can give you is ebay. |

If you want a fun console outside the norm that doesn't cost too much, I'd say try out the Colecovision. It's the best of the pre-NES consoles, with lots of solid arcade ports. Check out Pepper II, Oil's Well, and the excellent Frogger port. The PC Engine / TurboGrafx 16 has some fun games, but overall if I'm being honest, it's not worth anywhere near what it costs. The Neo Geo costs a ton. It always has, but if you like arcade style games, it's got some real gems. eBay and Neo-Geo.com are great places to pick up some games, but beware of games coming out of places like France and China. |

Neo geo aes and mvs might be the real things but nowadays It's just an collectors piece especially considering the combination of the prices and pretty much all them games being easily available on other original consoles compared to other systems if were negating emulators. |

Plus considering that most ports weren't close to perfect until the Dreamcast and Playstation 2 era, it really says a lot about the raw power the Neo Geo had. That's one of its big allures, an obscure system that outpowered all of its contemporaries, and was supported by a good lineup of games. It's amazing that Garou Mark of the Wolves came out on a system from 1990. With this system you don't go on a crazy binge and buy a ton of games at once for it. You hunt for months to find good prices, and over the years you'll savor each new game you find. |
