There are several MVS cabs floating around /vr/ it's a nice simple multigame cab that's a natural step between consoles and cabs before you learn about jamma and various kick harnesses or embark on trying to built a proper mame cab.

Personally I'm still pretty fond of Magician Lord. I still haven't managed to beat that "in the clouds" level even with unlimited credits and I like to think I'm pretty good.

Generally the most popular games are the Metal Slug series or King of Fighters. Mark of Wolves is pretty great and that Ninja Batman game is hilarious.

Rank the Metal Slugs please

I think I'm just about finished with 1

I played a lot of Super Sidekicks in the arcades.
GOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

King of monsters was also fun

Holy fuck you weeb, I was playing the MVS system in arcades throughout the 90's. I never knew anyone who owned an AES - it was a thing of legend when I was in middle school.

I'm going to have to try that one out! I have yet to really play Magician Lord much.

One thing I hate is that most of the fighting games are fun to play until the final boss. Matrimelee is a quirky fun game, but goddamn is that final boss some bullshit.

art of fighting 2 stops being fun on the second guy, if that helps

Metal Slug 3 > Metal Slug X > Metal Slug > Metal Slug 5 > Metal Slug 2 >>>>>>> Metal Slug 4

Metal Slug 3 is a masterpiece and X fixed everything wrong with MS2. It actually had a decent PS1 port as well.


Also - the censorship SNK did really sucked. even up until the last game released - Samurai Shodown 5 special , they fucked up with censorship.

I never liked the AoF series. I enjoyed the original port on the SNES at my cousin's house when I was a kid because it was one of the few games to do the zoom in and out effect.

They just never played as fun as all of the other good fighters on the system


Also - could we get some KOF series rankings? Am I the only one who loved KOF 2001?

Can anyone tell me why SamSho V Sp MVS carts are so expensive

Due to the prices, the best way to get the games is either emulation, or Wii's Virtual Console.

Multicarts are also a fairly reasonable option - 161-in-1 has about 90 or so actual unique games, and then it's just the cost of an MVS + supergun, which isn't cheap, but it's not as horrid as an AES.

3, X and 1 are the only ones really worth playing. 4 5 and 6 are phoned in sequels and not by the original devs. 2 is basically an unplayable version of X due to the sheer amount of lag when playing, you can forget about playing it 2 player either.

Well, consolizing your own MVS isn't super cheap but most consolized MVS" will run around 500 or so dollars. It's not totally unjustified either because you need quite a few silly things like a basically hundred dollar video encoder.

I was looking into consolizing an MVS for a friend, and figured I'd just consolize the jamma harness instead since MVS' aren't super reliable and it would be a shitload easier to swap out the board if you were just plugging it into the jamma harness instead of harvesting your components off the board.

There's really no cheap solution. A cab in decent condition is going to run you 500 or so bucks and most people don't have room for it either.

There are shitloads of Neo-Geo compilations on PS2, Xbox, Wii, and various online services, as wel as emulators so it's not really a big deal though.

I want to talk about the Neo Geo with a bunch of kids who know nothing about it so here's a blog describing it now go google for your favorite games.

Best game? Ironclad.

why did they mess up metal slug 2 so much? the other games had a bit of slow down but MS2 is just too much

...Is there *any* acceptable way to start a conversation about a console around here?

Begging for game recs isn't going to foster good discussion because you're not adding anything or bringing anything new to the table: you just want to be spoonfed.

Why are you so desperately afraid of playing video games that you need recommendations in the first place?
