Actually, the Neo games were ports. But both carts had the same program data on them, and the system selected which program data to use. There's a problem when using something like the UniBios or a Debug bios to switch a NeoGeo AES into MVS mode on certain carts. Some of the attract screens will be garbled because the AES lacks the fonts and other data used during the attract screens.
What the hell did the PS2 compete with that was in that list?
The reason why the 3DO and Saturn failed are games. The reason why the NeoGeo is ocnsidered a flop is the fact that the games cost as much as the system itself.
The problem here isn't price, it's games. Between Virtua Fighter 5, MGS4, and god knows what else for PS3... I'm buying a PS3 when I can afford it. The 3DO never had a killer app. The Saturn never had a killer app. The Neo's killer apps were just too damned expensive...
Let's get real though. The real flop here is the 3DO. You can still find Saturn enthusiasts. You can sure as hell find NeoGeo enthusiasts.
What killed the NeoGeo? SNK going under in 2001. 2001. For a console that debuted in the early 90's, living until 2001 and ahving the last game(Samurai Spirits Rei/Zero SPECIAL, AKA Samurai Shodown 5 Special) roll off the assembly line in 2004... I'd say it didn't flop.
What killed the Saturn was the PlayStation, which had a massive amount of great games. What would kill the PS3? An Xbox 360 with a library of great games. The problem is, when the PS3 drops, there will be no great Must Own Xbox360 game.

I am Suleman , Bank Manager of Zenith Bank, Lagos, Nigeria. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1997, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$26,500,000.00, (Twenty-six Million,five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$26,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank to a security company for safe-keeping.
No one will ever come forward to claim it.According to Nigerian Law,at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited it in a security company in two trunk boxes though the security company does not know the contents of the boxes as I tagged them to be photographic materials for export.I am writing you because I as a public servant can not operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than $1m.I want to present you as the owner of the boxes in the security company so you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney.All these are to make sure that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the as the owner of the boxes.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperworkS for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address.And also send your Telephone and fax numbers so that we can have a smooth communication.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.(Buying of properties like houses,hotels etc)
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email.

They used MGS2 style control, but MGS1 was the setting.
I'm sad though, that Kojima didn't try to get Samus or something into Metal Gear Online. that would've been better than Reina from goddamn Rumble Roses.
No, but there's a balance. You don't want to be breathing down your kids necks all the time do you? While I think this is totally wrong(my library already restricts access to people who's library cards indicate that they are under the age of 18), the intent is atleast interesting. If not totally misguided.
The difference here is that when they come down in price, there will be blue ray players and blu ray drives available.
I'd have bought more UMD movies if I could've plugged them into a box at home so I can watch some of them on something other than my psp. However, if my ps3 is capable of playing bluray movies that a blu ray player is also capable of playing, I will buy those. Assuming that the content restrictions aren't going to grab me by the balls.
I think when a company becomes more like a bunch of armed thugs threatening you about using someone else's product and less like a vendor... Then yeah.

You're citing dorks who hang around an internet forum.
Let's talk about regular sheeple consumers.
The L'Enfants Terrible Project can get underway.
Just... 30 years too late.
other than hardcore dorks, does anyone care about the DRM rootkit fiasco of last year?

A preliminary translation was that they were going to allow homebrew via the removable media.
HOTD4 is a standard lightgun game.
Shake the controller, and you'll hear a rattle. That's where the shake off part comes from.

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Suleman .
That's exactly the point.
Ultimate Fighting is more popular and more relevant than boxing.
At some Japanese show, Konami demostrated real time effects with MGS4. They moved the camera around in mid scene, messed with light sources, etc.
MGS4 is going to look as good as the trailers.
MGS3 did.
Have you even played MGS1, 2, or 3?
MGS1 was the basis for Twin Snakes.
They used MGS2 style control, but MGS1 was the setting.
I'm sad though, that Kojima didn't try to get Samus or something into Metal Gear Online. that would've been better than Reina from goddamn Rumble Roses.

I hate the Sci Atlanta DVRs.
I like what it does, but it's kinda a pain in the ass.
As a starwars Anti-fan, I want a high enough def screen to be able to count the number of hairs on Harrison Ford's head as Greedo shoots first.
AGREED.
Until DRM becomes a real huge hassle, no one's going to give a damn.
The difference here is that when they come down in price, there will be blue ray players and blu ray drives available.
I'd have bought more UMD movies if I could've plugged them into a box at home so I can watch some of them on something other than my psp.

Your kids might not care.
in fact, it's highly probable they'll think you're insane for getting worked up over a few changes.
But they kept making Neos and games well into the late 90's, if not into the first part of 2000.
In fact, the last NeoGeo game rolled off the assembly line in 2005.
i dunno. Ezri did it for me. Femenine. Petit. Trill. :)
Give it a rest. Fire Berman and Braga and remove them at least 1000 miles from any star trek property, they're only in it for a paycheck
Ira Steven Behr was responsible for DS9. Let him write something? (Minus the freaky ass dyed blue beard and head?)
I want to see another dark, heavily nuanced Trek story involving the darker side of the Federation. Perhaps an entire series dedicated to Section 31?
@!#!*(*(!
Were you not watching the mirror universe episodes of DS9!?
Hot. Bisexual. Kira. ACTION. FOAD.
Yes, however, I believe that Intel isn't acting like a gang of thugs, however, Microsoft was.
Also, the Scientific Atlanta explorer 8300 also supports an ESATA port.
