Haha, fair enough. One thing I will say about early Neo Geo is that SNK weren't afraid of trying out different genres. They really mixed it up with the likes of Crossed Swords, Soccer Brawl, Nam 1975, etc. While SNK finally got to grips with the hardware the machine basically turned into a 1 on 1 fighting console. That's a shame because if they embraced the vision of their earlier games then it really could have been a hell of a machine. Magician Lord 2? Yes please!

Spent yesterday playing Pocky and Rocky 2, Flashback and Chaos Engine.
Pocky is lots of fun and beautiful to boot. Great co-op game with my daughter.
Chaos Engine is solid and enjoyable. It certainly lacks the quality of the best top down games, I still find it rather compelling.
Flashback, whilst clumsy is super cool. Only issue is it really lacks consistent music so it feels a bit lifeless at times.

Rolling Thunder (you can return to the Arms rooms of you scroll on a certain distance, which is going to be useful on further replays).
WWF WrestleFest. Hulk Hogan and Earthquake took the tag-team title! It would've cost a fortune in the arcade!
X-Men. Colossus helped rescue Professor X from Magneto.
My son watched me play all these, so I'm hoping he'll get the retro bug too!

I made quite a bit of progress on Legend Of The Mystical Ninja last night.
There's a lot of Japanese, but I've worked out which doors aren't worth going in, meaning it's a lot easier to play.
I don't really feel like I'm missing out too much on the story and the level design for the most part is really solid. Managed to get all the way to (as well as defeat) the giant sumo face.
I've saved my progress, so here's hoping I can make sense of the bizarre password system.

I've not actually found it yet. I've found the painter game, the mole bashing game and the horse racing and they're all fun. The only thing that was an issue was the quiz show. Luckily you only lose money, so I wasn't too fussed. I was thinking of eventually replacing it with a US version, but if I'm honest I don't think I'll bother, particularly as a GameFaqs Q&A is only a few clicks away.
