The PC Engine was so expensive in the late ’80s and early ’90s that it was hard to find even in the homes of well-off friends. On top of that, it had one of the first CD-ROM add-ons, which made it feel incredibly high-tech at the time. Because of its larger storage capacity, many arcade games were ported to it, and the CD-quality audio was absolutely amazing. The real issue, though, was the price. You had to buy everything separately—the PC Engine itself, the CD interface (docking unit), the CD-ROM drive, the system card, and the game CDs.

The very first CD-ROM game console was the PC Engine. It’s actually an 8-bit system that came out before the 16-bit consoles like the Super Famicom and the Mega Drive. But thanks to the huge storage capacity of CDs, it offered impressive graphics and CD-quality sound.

If you grew up playing SNK games, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Those incredible character illustrations? That was Shinkiro. From 1990 to 2000, he defined the visual identity of Neo Geo — Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, The King of Fighters, Metal Slug… So many legendary titles brought to life through his art. His illustrations didn’t just promote the games — they gave them soul. Later, he moved to Capcom and continued his legacy, working on GBA Capcom titles, CAPCOM VS SNK 1 & 2, and even contributing artwork to Street Fighter V and VI. A true legend in fighting game history.

The X68000 was one of the best home computers for enjoying classic Konami and Capcom arcade games. Its hardware was so powerful that, aside from the Neo Geo, it was virtually the only system capable of delivering near-perfect arcade conversions at the time. Unfortunately, it was extremely expensive and sold exclusively in Japan, so very few people ever had the chance to experience it. Even today, decades after its release, the quality of its games is still incredibly impressive. Ghouls ’n Ghosts is a perfect example. Compared to the Mega Drive and PC Engine versions, the X68000 port is on an entirely different level in terms of accuracy and overall quality. It’s still amazing to think that a game this good could fit on just two floppy disks.

The reason I got into game collecting was the Neo Geo MVS arcade system. Around 2005, I came across an arcade game community where modders gathered—people who converted arcade games so they could be played at home on consoles. While being active in that community for a long time, I started collecting MVS games one by one. Eventually, that expanded into collecting console systems, PC games, and later even full arcade cabinets. I also began collecting Neo Geo AES from that time. Although I collect many kinds of games, the Neo Geo series is especially meaningful to me.

Rick in COTW. He was playable only on RB2, on Fatal Fury First Contact and on SVC Card Fighters Clash both for Neo Geo Pocket. One of the best chara with MOTW Terry at pressing with feint cancels. Here's an old set with a player good at using his dodge and combo his Howling Bull.

The roots of SNK fighting games really come from the Fatal Fury series. It grew side by side as a rival to Street Fighter II, and it’s honestly an iconic series. These days, it feels like it’s been absorbed into The King of Fighters series, but with the recent release of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, the legacy of Fatal Fury is finally continuing again. If you grew up in the arcade era, there’s a good chance you loved this series.

These days, X is full of talk about the Neo Geo AES+. The Neo Geo was one of the first systems I started collecting, so it means a lot to me and is still one of the most prized parts of my collection. I’ve always wanted a full 1:1 version—not a mini—that can actually use the original cartridges. I honestly never imagined Neo Geo would come out like this. I just hope more games get released so more people can enjoy it. And yeah, I ordered one too 👌

The 1990s were a time when SNK and Capcom were fiercely competing to bring their arcade games to home consoles. Capcom kept upgrading its hardware from CPS1 to CPS3, while SNK stuck with a single platform—the Neo Geo—which was powerful enough to keep receiving new releases from 1990 all the way to 2004. Because of that, many SNK games ported to 8-bit and 16-bit consoles often suffered in quality. However, the PC Engine, despite being an 8-bit system, managed to deliver surprisingly strong ports of SNK games thanks to the power of CD technology. That said, it was incredibly expensive at the time, so I could only admire it at game shops. If I had owned one back then and used it to listen to CDs and play games, it probably would have felt even more impressive than a PlayStation 5 Pro does today.

One of the unique features of the Neo Geo was its memory card support. Most games used it mainly for saving high scores, but some titles could even store stage progress. In Fatal Fury Special, after defeating Ryo Sakazaki at the end and saving to the memory card, you could reload the data and select Ryo Sakazaki in VS mode. Since the MVS and AES shared almost the same hardware architecture, the same memory card could be used on both systems. That was a really interesting feature. However, unless you had an MVS cabinet equipped with a memory card slot, you couldn’t use it, and because the Neo Geo AES itself was extremely expensive, most gamers didn’t even know this feature existed. The original memory cards used battery-backed saves, but the upcoming AES+ memory card uses ROM storage, so I’m really looking forward to it👌

There were two systems that let you play arcade games at home: SNK’s Neo Geo and Capcom’s CPS Changer. Their concepts were a bit different. The Neo Geo was basically an arcade machine turned into a home console, so you could see it as a regular game system. (1/2)

When it comes to sword-fighting games on the Neo Geo, Samurai Shodown, Tengai Makyou, and The Last Blade are the most well-known titles. As a game from SNK’s golden era in the late ’90s, it boasted both excellent graphics and gameplay. Unlike Samurai Shodown,(1/2)
