Neo Geo: Bigger, Badder, Better



If anyone grew up with the knowledge of NeoGeo back int he 16 days, you knew it was something special.  It was the caviar of home systems, offering an arcade perfect experience in your own home at a prohibitive price for most.  I remember that the cartridges cost more than the system due to all the hardware being stored in the carts.  This beautifully shot short film directed by Aaron Nanto covers the legacy that SNK left behind.

Ah, the good old days of playing Metal Slug at the local coffee shop.
