Games: Neo-Geo; Return Of The Mack!

When you are a game collector and got expensive taste, the Neo-Geo systems is where it's at. The MVS (arcade), AES, CD and pocket carried some of the most collectable games back in the day, and still today some of the games are worth hundreds, or in some cases, thousands (!) of dollars. Since I sold all my Neo-Geo stuff a few years back I got a little excited when I heard the news a couple of months ago that Neo-Geo would get back on the consolemarket!

I got a little less psyched when I found out it would be a, rather simple, handheld, but now the excitement level is back up again when I saw the full package! Not only do you get the slick looking handheld with twenty SNK classics on it, but you also get a docking station that looks just like the old AES system with an arcade stick, and the best part of it is... you can connect the docking station onto your tv and play all those classics once again.

So, why would you buy this for 200 bucks (and most likely 200 euro's) if you already got or had the original systems, the compilations that came out through out the years for various other systems and what not? Because it's nostalgic and can only be understood with the few who owned an AES system back in the day, just like me...
