    I got a Neo Geo as a birthday gift from a bunch of friends last year. I have a few games for it but a solid collection that thankfully I didn't pay too much for. There's also a 161-in-1 cartridge available at AliExpress that has most of the essentials (KoF,Metal Slug,etc)

    I have the cdz version. I also have a bunch of downloads across my gaming systems that I'm extremely happy with. Has the chance to buy an actual AES console but didn't. Sometimes i wish i had just to say i own it.

    Nice! I use my AES quite frequently I would say. When people come over they're really interested in trying it. And fighting games are easy to get into, even for the non-gamer. Real Bout is a hit here.
    Oh and 50% off for the console is a really good deal. You can use the exact same cables from Mega Drive model 1.

      I'm so jealous you have an AES. And I was not aware of the Mega Drive cable trick... I wish I knew that... Hahaha. Oh well. Then again... I'm priced out of getting games for it anyway. Thanks for the useful info though! Good to know!

    Nothing wrong with a neo geo mini. I have 3 aes consoles, over 20 aes games and now a few mvs, because of acquiring a consolized mvs system.

    NEO-GEO AES
    Oh yeah I do have an NEO-GEO AES
    I now have 13 games with it I first bought it back in 2015 of June. It has the best graphics and sound I've have ever seen or heard in my life# (till this day) Because it doesn't mix graphics or sound on a single circuit board pin connector like every other game system cartridge does.
    Rather It's like two cartridges in one instead that makes it very powerful unit and is a huge difference that's where all the money went.
    🤑🤑🤑 I've spent over $1600.00 on my NEO-GEO AES not counting shipping and handling. Well worth it!

    My brother out of the blue a couple months back decided he wanted to build a PAL N64 game collection, and although not as crazy as this video, it will end up costing him a pretty penny if he finishes it. Games like Paper Mario, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Snowboard Kids 2 (all of which we actually had at one point and in relatively good condition🤦‍♂) go for over $1000 for "complete in box".
    The worst thing about it is that it's made me want to do a Gamecube one. 😂
