Damn those prices, 14k for a golf game. lol this system is one of those consoles i only ever saw in video game mags in the 90s. I still have never seen one in person and probably never will at those prices.
i was in high school when the AES came out, there was one kid I knew who had it and his dad was a heart surgeon and his mom was a dentist. I think having two parents who are doctors was only way you could have had one as a kid.
I passed on the AES back in the early 90’s feeling the Genesis & Super Nintendo had comparable titles so I didn’t need the NeoGeo. A couple decades later I would purchase the NeoGeo CMVS Slim from Analogue which started my NeoGeo adventure which ultimately led me to buying a CIB AES (North America) console now a much appreciated part of my collection. My favorite titles I physically own are: Viewpoint, Last Resort, Ninja Commando, Top Hunter, Spinmaster & Metal Slug 4
wow, that's a nice collection of games. Back in the day I didn't get an AES because it was way to expsensive for me as a high school kid. I have an OMVS now, but the only cart i have is bust a move. I have a NEO SD. I'd like to get some more recently released homebrew games like Xenocrisis and Kraut Buster on MVS cart if I could find them. I think most of the other MVS carts I would want are going to be out of my price range.
I was right there with you dude, did anyone anywhere Ever Win one of those NG consoles for free? I call BS if you know what I'm saying, we all entered and nobody on earth has ever heard of, or definitely knows, somebody whom had won one. Classic
I look forward to your 3DO video, I love that system. Sadly I never owned a Neo Geo, but the Pocket Color is my favorite handheld and I have a Neo Geo X for fun.
i am eventually going to do pocket color as well that is a fantastic system. i am a sega fan boi so gene gear will always be my number 1, but NGPC is #2. 3DO is going to be interesting, a lot of the expensive “games” are just adult VCDs, so i will likely just group all those together so i can highlight other oddities like johnny bazookatone and cyberdillo!
Lucky we are, we can buy some NCI and Atomik repro for about 250$ each games... and there are excellent copy !! Original games is too high for any purchase right now, it's not serious ..
These prices are all taken from price lists published by game dude (a local game store in LA). I did a previous series that used price charting and ebay for prices and was told over and over that THAT was inaccurate so this time i used price lists of an actual store currently selling games. i have linked the historical price lists in the description and you can see current guides at gamedude.com.
These aren’t “my” prices, I needed a source of truth for this video so i used the price guides from game dude. they have been selling games in LA for 30 years, think if they could get more for these games they would. So I think that what may happen is if Game Dude doesn’t have something in stock they don’t update the price, so might be a bit out of date. But that’s the metric I chose, Game Dude in 2004 vs Today: gamedude.com/neogeo.html
Yeah the prices are wayyyyy off. First off AES games rarely sell loose and price charting doesn’t track AES games well. Game Dude works for a 2024 reference but only eBay sold listings could do current prices.
@@ogcib so what you’re telling me is that i should be checking game dude for good deals on AES carts. These videos are so hard to settle on a correct price for, If I use ebay, I get people telling me that only Yahoo Japan is accurate. If I use Price Charting I get people telling me to use ebay. I figured that game dude would be close as it would be in their best interest to be as acurate and make as much of their inventory as they could. But maybe I was wrong. Anyway, for this video specfiically the info comes from Game Dude. In the future maybe I'll make a "top 5 most expensive accourding to ebay" or something.
Apologies, they are good for a 2004 price reference since they were one of the major sellers of AES carts at the time. Look at prices on the Neo Geo Store or even some price list on Neo Kult from a couple years back and that will give you a solid reference point. Neo Geo AES is the hardest system to track in all of retro gaming. I use to track the prices myself for years and use to help out on Game Value Now when it was around with AES prices.
@@ogcib thanks dude. i appreciate the insights. i have an MVS and the carts i have are picked up at flea markets and stuff. before making this video i never paid much attention to AES as I don’t have that system. But I appreciate you sharing this with me.
Why does Metal Slug continue to be so expensive? As you said, it's not really especially rare. I imagine you could get an arcade cabinet for Metal Slug for cheaper....
The best version is separate in 3 way : The more fun and fast to play is the original : METAL SLUG The more complex and beautiful is METAL SLUG 3 and for me, the last one on NEOGEO is METAL SLUG 5 and it's my personal choice :)
