I'm one of the best Windjammers players on the East Coast and I play a decent amount of Twinkle Star Sprites. I've played both of those titles on arcade cabinets, ports and emulation for the rest of my time. I own ports of both titles.
Yeah I own a Neo Geo CD. I have a friend that has an AES and have played that, and of course played a bunch of MVS stuff.
My CD stuff:
Favorites are Sengoku and Crossed Swords.

How similar was the arcade to the home console? For Dreamcast I did not include NAOMI for example.
It's the exact same hardware. That's why it was such an expensive console, and also why all (or nearly all) Neo Geo games were arcade-ready.
OP
OP
I see. My reasoning is like this:
Mega CD gets a standalone thread, while neo geo cd doesn't, because the game library and the hardware is different between mega cd and mega drive.
Dreamcast doesn't include Naomi, although the hardware is very similar. But not all games were ported, so the library is not the same.
If I get a few quick replies disagreeing, I'll ask a mod to include arcade in the title.
I always thought neo geo arcade did not have 100% the same library as the home console. Sorry about that.
CD has a few exclusives still like Crossed Swords 2 is only Neo-Geo CD, but yeah the MVS and AES are the same.
I'm not 100% sure but aside from some Neo Geo CD exclusives, all games on the home console (AES) were just their arcade counterparts (MVS) slightly modified for home use.
OP
OP
Alright. Should I ask to include arcade in the title?
I've played on the MVS arcade systems a bunch of times, plus a ton of ports (I think I've played the majority of Neo Geo games by now through ports), but I sadly have never owned or played on a Neo Geo AES or CD system, though I have been tempted to at least get the latter since it's not too expensive. I do own a Neo Geo Pocket Color and few games, though, but that's not what this is about.
Eh, now I'm not sure. Neo Geo is kinda weird for polls like this because because if you put the arcade into the fourth option it would skew it even harder. Maybe clarify it as a Non-arcade Neo Geo game poll to avoid confusion.

Arcade only shouldn't be included because a ton of people had access to those.
I own both a AES and a (broken) MVS. I loved coming across the games in random stores back then (never had an arcade near me), but the AES was way beyond my means at the time. I bought one in the early 2000's and actually bought Matrimelee as it released, although sadly I sold it again (it's now super valuable). Also bought and sold Last Blade. Apart from those, I still have Samurai Shodown 2, Real Bout Special, Galaxy Fight, Burning Fight and King of Fighters '98. I should probably sell off my MVS carts since I don't intend to get that system running again.
It's a cool system, possibly the best looking console ever made, and those chunky carts and solid joysticks are amazingly tactile. But collecting it nowadays just doesn't make sense. Of the actually good games, only Samurai Shodown 2 is reasonably priced. All the other classics are insanely expensive now.

Yes, but only on the Virtual Console. I remember seeing adverts for them in gaming magazines at Special Reserve and being horrified by the prices 🤣
I wished as a kid my folks were rich enough to afford Neo Geo. The dream back then was arcade perfection and this was the only console that could actually do it. I was able to go to a game store that had it so that was the only way little ol' me was able to play.
My brother bought the aes system. Arcade perfect but the joysticks were pretty low quality and had no weight to them. Not worth the price. Found the Saturn with ram cartridge good enough for ports since we really only played the fighting games.
Had a friend that had the first iteration of the neogeo cd. It was terrible. That 1x cd drive and the analog stick. Yikes. You think bloodborne load times are bad…try playing king of fighters on one of these things.

yep first a boy in school, then my rich cousin bought one
with all the cool fighting games they had i still always asked to play alpha mission or nam 1975 though

right on time for our sunday retro threads, haha
i'd always wanted one, and a super potato in osaka when i was visiting in 2019 had an AES for $150, through in a boxed stick for another $30 or so. it needed a little work (a modder was able to fix the sound issues, but i think it largely puts out mono now? RGB looks fantastic though)
i'd had a few carts from when they were cheaper, but pulled the trigger on a Neo SD+ a few years back so i could really dive into the library on original hardware. it's so dope, the arcadey design means even sports games are fun
never played on actual cd hardware though, some games have seen conversion in recent years i wanna say
hot damn, what a come-up!

Never owned a CD system, only home/mvs, the load times were ridiculous. Crossed Swords II is amazing.
I absolutely adore the Neo kidney sticks too, screw the haters

Never owned the console but I love doing a bit of leaderboard chasing with the Xbox One versions of the games. I'm pretty good at some of them with top 5 placements on the global leaderboards. I think I've bought roughly 100 games in the ACA NeoGeo series on Xbox. There's just something special about the feel and the sprites of NeoGeo games.
Sadly never owned the console though. Both the hardware and especially software was priced out of my range. The value just wasn't there when I could buy massive RPGs for my other consoles at a fraction of the cost of a NeoGeo cart.

Only through emulation and ports to other systems (ie some KOF games on PS2) but never played on the real system
I answered yes before reading the "no arcade" thing.
In my mind the Neo Geo is the same in arcades and at home. The Neo Geo AES home console has a smaller library, and the CD has a handful of exclusive games, but otherwise it's all the same console in my mind.
And I feel like if people own real hardware these days it will more likely be an MVS/supergun combo, because AES prices are outrageous--MVS always seems a lot cheaper across the board.

I'm rich but not millionaire rich.
I think I played Samurai Shodown in a store kiosk once, actually. But this was years after the fact. At the time Neo Geo games were the current equivalent of €350 so I knew absolutely no one who had one.

My only interaction with real SNES hardware back in the day was in store demo kiosks, but those things were freaking everywhere at the time. That's enough to have ticked your "yes I've tried real hardware" box in that poll. Playing a neo-geo at an arcade seems the same to me.
Yea. Own a Neo Geo AES and around 40 carts. Also a multi cart and few mvs from when I had a MVS cab…have a grey Neo pocket. Sold most of my Neo pocket games but still got sonic, Neo turf, metal slug first mission, real bout, samurai Shodown, puzzle bubble and a few others.
Love Neo Geo and SNK.

Had a home cart setup with most of the games. I sold most of it, still have a couple random consoles. I have 3 Neo CD and a lot of games that I need to sell. I also have most of the MVS kits and 2 cabs, but I need to sell the carts and. 4 slot. I haven't played in years.
Had a Neo Geo with Nam75, 8 Man, Last Resort, Fatal Fury Special, Samurai Shodown... I don't know how many school lunch money went into this but it was a lot ah ah ah.
I bought a Neo Geo CD later, what a mistake (except for the arranged tracks, those were incredible, especially Fatal Fury 3).

Not on the original systems, no. NG games were always amazingly expensive (which is why seeing them now being sold for £5 on PSN, etc always makes me chuckle on the inside), but after seeing the NGC and its slow loading depicted on Hi-Score Girl I don't think it's something I would have enjoyed at the time. (Doubly so, now.) But maybe it wasn't as bad irl?
Back in the early 90s I had a buddy who had a Neo Geo and a bunch of fighting games. It was novel to be able to play games at home that exactly matched what was in the arcade, but I'd rather be playing SF2 Turbo on the SNES (not to mention the variety of RPGs and platformers).
Initial loads for games were long but between levels and stuff they're short. Crossed swords are only like 3 seconds long.
I'm sure anyone that had a Neo Geo and a bunch of games could probably swing a SNES too.
I've played the Neo Geo MVS many times in the arcade - There were surprisingly a large number of Neo Geo machines in my hometown.
I have never played a New Geo AES or Neo Geo CD tho.

I remember the game shop by me in the 90's used to sell AES's and games and unlike other games from this era, I have no regrets not buying, because they were so expensive even back then.
An MVS, if you grew up in the 90's every laundromat in the western hemisphere had one and you couldn't avoid them if you tried.
re: the library, I've probably played every Neo Geo game at least an hour each. I love the system so much
