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.

      I agree. I think samzenpus and kdawson have a contest to see who can be the worst slashdot 'editor'.

      Regarding this article, he could have at least linked to the original artist's Youtube video, rather than someone else's repost of it.

      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.

    Was there even a link? Is TFA just a summary?

    Why is it always samzenfenfenpus who posts crap like this?

    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.

  6. Slashdot seems idle today... by AtlantaSteve · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You know, it's a shame that Slashdot doesn't have a designated area just for stuff like this. That could help keep non-stories off the main page, and make the site better overall. Oh well.

  7. 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

    Geez, they did a really good job with the lighting on the cabinet. That wasn't just another amateur green screen job.
