Continuing the 16-bit wars after the introduction of the Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx-16, we turn to a “24-bit” system that was truly like the arcade machines that its competitors were trying to emulate.

Vinnk reveals his decade-long tryst with SNK’s Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System, the one console in the 16-bit generation that made good on its promise of arcade-quality graphics on a home console, and the hefty price tag to back it up.

Head over to our show notes to read more about the history of the Neo Geo and the making of this episode!

And I thought cheating on an NES with a Master System was bad.

Really liked the episode. I wanted a AES as a kid, but my parents weren’t going to spend that sort of money on video games when my dad had perfectly good Amiga.

I did pick up a AES much latter, it is actually what start my collection of weird, cool, or odd retro systems. The price of the carts forced me to pick up the MVS-AES adapter, since MVS carts are so much cheaper normally(which is the reverse of how they were when both MVS arcade board and AES system were still in production).
I figure famicom dojo will cover Neo-Geo cd when you guys cover the other CD systems/addons.

Very astute! Actually, the Neo Geo CD and Pocket were part of the original script, but we decided to focus on the AES and revisit the subject later.

You can do about CD and Pocket (Pocket is a whole different story, even whole different hardware) and the Neo Geo X (witch is EMULATED).
