The Neo-Geo Song

Posted by samzenpus on from the old-school dept.

At least 50% of my paychecks would be converted into tokens and put into one of many Neo-Geo machines at the arcade when I was in high school. It's good that my favorite old games finally have an anthem.

    Keith Apicary is a great character and Nathan (his real name) is a great guy. Search "Talking Classics" on YouTube for some of the best retrogaming comedy around.

  2. Why not link to the original video? by supremespleen · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm a bit frustrated that they linked to someone's mirror, as opposed to Nathan's account: http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=Q_kGJBv6Wr4

    Not true on the N64! Check the Neo-Geo master list. They measure in Mbits so you have to divide by 8, but the biggest Neo game is KOF 2003 at 716Mb or 89.5MB. It looks like the Neo first passed 64MB in 1998 with Shock Troopers 2 (64.25), KOF '98 (85.375), Last Blade 2 (69.25) and Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 (67.375), while RE2 on N64 came out a year later in 1999. 64MB was pretty huge for a mainstream home console cart at the time, though.
