Just paid for it, it came to ?117.41 including insured EMS postage. Is that a good price?

**lordcookie** · 16-06-2003, 13:41

I dont really know much about NG CD prices but I always thought around ?70 was average for a mint condition one unless it has gone up considerably in value in the past few months.

**Geezer** · 16-06-2003, 13:57

oh crap, I didn't know

A system comes to ?116 delivered from Videogameimports with just one pad.

This one came with the 3 games and 2 pads(a spare pad costs about ?25 from videogameinports)

Sorry I misunderstood what you meant.

I thought you meant you had just bought Metal Slug for ?117, not the unit plus those games.

You got a pretty good price for that bundle. VGI arent always the best to compare prices though as they tend to over price their goods.

It's a not bad price for the system though you would have been better with the CDZ and it's double speed cd drive.

Metal Slug is superb and unless your willing to pay over a grand for the cart version is an essential purchase. MS2 does have quite annoying loading times in mid level.

Check out www.neogeocd.com they have lists comparing loading times and stuff.

You should pretty much avoid most of the newer fighters though, the loading times in between rounds will p!ss you off.

Recommended games :

Flying Power Disc (windjammers)
Big Tournament Golf / Neo Turf Masters
Bust A Move
Last Resort
Neo Driftout
Nam 75
Any Super Sidekicks game
Pretty much any of the shooters.

Hope that helps some.

**Solid_snake** · 17-06-2003, 19:33

The 2 Last Blade games are also pretty good.

Wicked mate - I'd always lusted after a Neo since seeing Nam '75 running in my local indie when I was still playing MD games so it's kind of a childhood (well actually mid-teen) fantasy fulfilled.
I managed to get hold of Metal Slug which is still ace to this day and has very quick loading. I got Last Blade - got hacked off with the pi$$ taking load times so sold it and got the DC version instead......(as well as Garou MOTW with the proceeds)

It's great to be able to take a break from all my long-winded next gen RPG's etc. and chuck on what is essentially and old arcade machine for a twenty minute blast.

My current faves:

Windjammers
Metal Slug
Samurai Shodown 2
Sengoku 2
KOF '94 & '96
Viewpoint
Double Dragon

Some of these will soon be toppled as I've a few games to get stuck into still.

CEX, Rathbone Terrace or Street or something like that.

They have a huge retro section with shed loads of Neo Stuff, inc. CD games.
