To many gamers in the 90s, The Neo Geo AES was the ultimate home console. While many other consoles claimed to bring an arcade experience home, they did so by downgrading graphics, sound, and other compromises. The Neo Geo on the other hand, brought truly perfect Neo Geo MVS arcade games to the home with ZERO compromises. If you owned a Neo Geo AES console you got to play actual 1:1 arcade games at home. But this level of quality came at a steep cost with the console's Gold Bundle coming in at over $600 for just the console, controllers, and one game. Individual games were also extremely expensive, averaging $200 or more each. This is the story of how SNK brought its highly successful arcade games to the home with one of the most expensive consoles of all time and after becoming one of the biggest names in gaming in the 90s, lost everything and yet somehow rose from its ashes. #NeoGeo #Retrogaming #SNK #NeoGeoPocket #90s #Gaming You can check out my guests channels below: MVG: null Bob: null & his site www.retroRGB.com Jenovi: null Neo-Alec: null & his Neo Geo Playlist    • Neo Geo Generation   Special thanks to Ethan Johnson of: The History Of How We Play https://thehistoryofhowweplay.wordpress.com/ Original Music By Drew Night.
