Always wanted a Neo Geo but they were a small fortune to buy in England, on import [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Amiga ... not sure if that was a thing in the US or not. |
NeoGeo was $600 for JUST the console and 1 controller (at one point of time) and the games carts were $200 a pop. No...my family wasn't rich and the only person I knew that owned one was a 30 year old dude that ran a rental store. I was able to play it a few times. It was fun.
Amiga, omg Amiga. Best computer ever made during it's time. I owned a 500 (with an addon CPU 68020 14Mhz with FPU and the back up 68000 sat on top of that. That little board also had max memory installed 4MBs), 1000, 2000, 1500 and 3000.
I used to run Trinity BBS on 2 floppys, then upgraded to CNET when I got a 40MB HDD. I assisted with passing messages through FIDOnet. The gaming was awesome. Shadow of the Beast, It came from the Desert, Lemmings and the list goes on.

8bit, 16bit and 32bit
Sonic CD, Doom on PS1 (friend and I would set up 2 TVs, 2 PS1s and multiplayer Doom) and the rest is all the RPG greats from 8bit and 16 bit days. I still have FF7 and Castlevania Symphony of the Night cases + Discs
