Neo Geo



Getting a hold of these games might be difficult and costly; the NeoGeo was very expensive at the time because it literally brought arcade hardware to the living room, but you will NEVER see a better looking strictly 2D/16-bit console in your entire life. It is quite possibly the most sought after 'retro' home console with the largest cult following, thus making it highly collectible.

Even still, you can emulate Neo Geo games with Neo-RAGEX which uses dumps from the home version, but you're probably better off getting the MAME version of these games with Winkawaks/Nebula for optimal compability or MAME itself. They all come with Netplay; most of these games are multiplayer and will let you quickly jump in, being arcade games and all, try them with a friend. If you're not emulation prone, many of these games come in collections on the PS2, as well.
