There are some impressive collections in here!

I've been getting into Neo Geo for quite a while now so I thought Id post up some pics. Here is my AES and loose games I've been acquiring over the last 6 months or so..

Nice collection! How you playing those MVS games? Convertor?

I'd love a Neo Geo but cant afford the cost of the games

Look into an MVS system, especially if your handy with a soldering iron, works out a hell of a lot cheaper and it's easier to pick up games.

Just paid £6 for Metal Slug 3 on my PS3

What a game though. I beat it last night for the first time without unlimited continues... putting that on my CV.

I'm not really playing them at the moment! I have an MV1FZ half wired up so it displays etc, but I havent hooked up a DB15 to the control wires yet so I can use my AES stick.

I was looking into converters but it looks like I missed the boat for the Fusion converter and Im not paying £200 for the other types out there.

Nice, I'm gonna have to play this again soon. I've never completed it and hate unlimited continues.

Cool, same board as me!

And yes, convertors are very pricey.

Picked up a new megadrive game, totally forgot about the cartoon I used to watch until I seen this, looks like a platform and was only a fiver

Epic theme tune!

ShiWarrior · 28 Jun 2015 at 08:22

not heard of that game before

lakitu · 29 Jun 2015 at 11:20

I loved the cartoon, but missed out on the game!

U.S.Gold .... There is a name I have not heard for a long time.

Nice collection Waynelle, I certainly wouldn't mind a good rummage through that lot

The lounge is clean for once, quick! take a shelfie!

- taken a month or two back, been meaning to share on here for ages.

Hope you all enjoy, great to see much love for the neo geos. I have an AES, Pocket and CD front-loader... Would love to own an omega MVS

Sweet collection. Loving the N64's, are they all PAL or some imports too?

Imports too - there are 16 varients of the N64, 10 of them could be sourced in PAL, the others were jap exclusives

Ah, the asteroid flinging ship.
Managed to get to level 3 tonight, would have gotten further if I had used the ol' "no kills on the 1st level" trick.

that actually reminds me a game I used to play with a mate a lot

Super Probotector!

Love it especially the Gameboy collection. Are those modded Ikea Kallax shelving units?
