longest running console ever i reckon, in terms of how long games were released. 1990-2004.
Hmmm not sure about that, think the NES might be but will have to check.

According to the wiki page it was still being sold up until 2003 in Japan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System
But you're right the last game released for it was in 1994 so the Neo Geo was the longest served machine in terms of games.

How advanced were Neo-Geo games?
I know all the chips were in the carts, but the games themselves graphically wern't all that super-dooper. All I remember was they had loads of speech in the games which was novel at the time.

I mean in relation to Neo Geo games eating the 512mb. I remember Return to Zork from 1993 on the PC had tons of speech and FMV and was only 20mb.

They were early on, no ? I remember just about every game I ever played was compared to 'the arcade version,' that was always the reference point, the neo geo was basically an arcade machine afaik or at least it was arcade quality.

Now that brings me back, I got those games on a cart that plugged into the back of my c64, Flimbo's quest was a really good game, first game I got addicted to.Smoky said:Yeah, one of these
I used to have one, the games that came with it were quite good actually.
Flimbo's quest, Microprose soccer and the almighty Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun
I've still got my amiga 600 in the attic, I took it out and started it up a while back - nostalgia is overrated.
edit again: I never had a console, I only got the commodores because they were 'educational'

Did you ever fight that fucking huge woodlouse on one level
? I think it might have been the first or second one actually, you went back on yourself and all of a sudden there it was.Dunno if it was a woodlouse, but it looked like one to me.
