In this episode we take on the system that prided itself on being bigger, badder and better than the competition: SNK's Neo Geo. Although a common fixture in arcades due to the popularity of the Multi Video System cabinet's versatility, most of the Neo's mystique lies in its home console incarnation, which is host to some of the rarest and most expensive games around. Thanks to SNK's continuing efforts to port Neo Geo games to a variety of formats however, there are plenty of ways to experience what the system has to offer without having to take out a second mortgage to pay for it all. Whether it's a shooter, platformer, puzzle game or fighter, each Neo Geo game bears the mark of SNK's inimitable style. Even though SNK's hardware manufacturing days came to an end with the brilliant but short-lived Neo Geo Pocket portable system, the Neo Geo brand name continues to represent the legacy of a company dedicated to doing things its own way.
