Here's a question about the Neo Geo I've wondered for a number of years.
Is there anything to be gained from getting the actual console/carts other than the feeling of authenticity?
I mean I like SNK's games, but I've never actually played on an Neo Geo home console (though I've played NG arcade machines a fair bit over the years where I've come across them).
Obviously the actual machine carries a genuine air, and there are a fair few games that were never ported. Still, many games were ported to other formats, and apparently received good ports - Saturn, Dreamcast, even the PS3 has a fair few (are they still on PSN? I seem to recall at one point PSN even had a NeoGeo storefront of some kind).
Are the ports all inferior? I don't mean the 16-bit ones (those obviously are) I mean the later ports.
