I have one, I emailed the creator, waited a week to get reply, sent him the money and a week in and half later mine arrived in the mail

Did your GDROM still work? Mine still does so I'm hesitant to tear off the metal shield.

Source?

All the reports I've read suggest that whilst MNEMO might be a little a little slow to respond and ship (to be expected for a cottage industry producing a massively in-demand device) the product and service is rock-solid overall.

If he ruffled the feathers of a few greedy reseller scum along the way so what? Good on him I say, they need taking down a peg or two.

Yes. The NGCD's shortcomings are all because it was designed to be a comparatively low-budget system. Thus, the lower build quality, the slow 1x audio-grade (instead of data-grade) CD drive, the smaller pad-style controller (which has build quality issues, although it still controls nicely and has real microswitches). IIRC, the audio chip's was cut back a little because of CD audio playback, too.
If SNK positioned it as a premium entry like the AES, it'd have had a faster CD drive and more RAM, immediately removing both of the machine's biggest faults.
It would have also been more than $400, but people who were into the Neo Geo would have laid that money down if it meant they weren't spending so much on games.

>>4188548
I agree, they were never going to capture the lower-end market of consoles anyway, add the RAM and faster CD drive for a little extra and boom you have a pretty much perfect CD version of the AES. Really wish they had done this instead. Now we're stuck with paying hundreds of dollars for NG gaymes, or $500 for the flashcart.

Yes. The Neo Geo CD could have been an awesome premium niche system like the AES. As others have said, the CD-drive and Ram limitations should have never even been considered. A double or even quad drive plus a huge amount of ram to load as much of the game as possible would have been wonderful. It might have been $600, but the SNK fans would have been all over it and would have not only bought new games for the system, but also re-bought games they had on AES that they probably could have sold.

$400 was too expensive for this to be considered by most gamers anyway, especially with the super late 1996 launch in North America. The $299 Playstation already had a huge lead with the consumer market, Saturn was still in competition, and N64 was coming in the fall.

Once the excellent Sega Saturn ports started to come out for most of the best Neo Geo games, the Neo CD was done.

Well one is a science fiction aesthetic and one is a tabletop game, dunno how you can even compare the two.

4chan is suffering the persistent file bug again.

I enjoy the cyberpunk theme more than general fantasy theme. I've been fascinated with tech since an early age and enjoy futuristic and dystopian settings, so cyberpunk makes sense for me.

I still enjoy fantasy, though.

Why is Worms Armageddon more popular than WWP? I always thought WWP is just Armageddon with more stuff.

>no delays on any weapons
>sudden death after 10 minutes, team with most health wins (because AI behaves too poorly when water rises)

Because WA got updates that add much more flexibility to setting up a game, and being near effortless to set up made it the defacto for tournament play.

reply here on what stage you got hit(or got a game over) on, and which game

It's pretty limited compared to later Clickteam releases like Click n Create and Multimedia Fusion; it doesn't even support scrolling, although a couple enterprising individuals figured out some kludgey ways of doing it. But damn, you can do some impressive stuff in MMF; the Sonic fangaming scene has some very feature complete MMF engines.

Outlaws

>>4188017
Looks neat. Would you recommend it?

Blood has a Western shooter feel to it. It's not explicitly set there though. It's some weird alternate reality I guess. Caleb is a gunslinger though and has cowboy-esque weapons.

Street Fighter II. It sure was hard, and I never got good at it. The End.

Fucking pleb.

Is the cover dumb? So dumb that people still talk about it today instead of it being another drop in the bucket of shmups?

It's actually pretty good and apart from it's ridiculous cover it also features a "funny" difficulty level that is the hardest one.

>>4187351
funny enough, the game is actually pretty good

Nah... that one from a few years back starring the original cast that acted as a sequel to the movies was definitely the best!

I just realized that I have owned this game at least 15 years and I still can't beat Lugdunum despite trying to beat this game every goddamn year.

That won't plug into my NES, though.

I gave the first one a go a long time a go after getting the series as a bundle.

It looks like it could be pretty cool but I couldn't be bothered figuring it out at the time.

I've always been curious about it because GoG advertises it in the splashscreen of their installers. Mostly I'm curious cause the girl in pic related is a real qt but I know the game has none of that.

I would definitely recommend it since it's a rather unique experience. The story is interesting enough, gameplay is tolerable but definitely secondary to the world they're trying to craft.

There's nothing must-own on a platform that's completely irrelevant.

Certainly not that one. The GBA's cropped screen and shitty sound makes for an undeniably inferior version.
