Neo Geo

Neo-Geo-AES-Console-Set.png

History 
No history with this console. But this console is the home version of the arcade machine. I did hear that this console is very expensive to come by.

The Games
The Neo Geo console is built on arcade ports. So it's has tons of fighting games, shooters and sports. It has the occasional racing and puzzle games as well. Most of the games are recommended to be played with two players. 

The Good 
The pixel art is amazing. Games like Garou has frame by frame pixel art which looks amazing. Some games combines 3d background images with 2d pixel arts. Other than that, the games are addictive in nature. It's a good thing that you have unlimited continues which means you can play the games from start to finish. 

The Bad
Some games perspective is a bit wired. The player will occupy 70% of the screen which makes playing the game a little to hard. Furthermore, some of the games look like they were design on a shoe string budget. The pixel arts only have a couple sprite animation per character and most of the games are just another generic fighter, shooter or sports game. They also recycle most of their sprite work for every game that comes the following year. 

The Ugly
The difficulty on some arcade games are borderline insane. The computer knows when to block and attack which makes playing the game not fun (I'm looking at you samurai shodown). The controls for some games doesn't translate well in 2D. 

Conclusion
A great console that would be even better if you get a friend to play with you. Now phase 1 is almost complete. Is down to the main event.
