How long did Neo Geo lasted in the console industry?

Longer than PS3 planned to be.. 14 years IIRC

hahaha ps3 nt long la bro wait so long very few good games are available.

I bet in ten years time the % of working NG will be higher than PS3

Hey guys.. Sorry for the longgg absense here. I've been rather busy. Last Friday, I finally received the original Nintendo Famicom!! Semi complete (it was only missing the AC Adapter and the 75/300 ohm RF Adapter) Other than that, it looks very sharp for something that's made in 1980s! (I reckon mine is made around 86, as it came with lots of Famicom Disks pamplets).



The Box.. Very sharp looking!





All the paperwork that was in the box!





The console when I first got it. It looks alot dirtier than what the camera picked up.





Here's what it currently looks like after tearing it apart and cleaning it up. The RF socket was quite corroded.





Bought Akoumajo Special as my first ORI famicom game! I used to play this one as a kid. Now if someone can help me pass Stage 5's boss which is a quiz and I can't read Jap!!

Yeah, so there you have it. Just wanna share this happy moment with you guys here. I used to own a gray Famiclone when I was younger. And also a whole lot of pirated carts. Finally I'm able to own the real deal!! This console means alot to me. Even more than your average PS3s and WIIs. This console started it all. I'm ever so curious to try out the Famicom Disk System too. And good news is it's on the way! Have to expect some repair though as the belt has a tendency to give way.

Cheers!

(ps : If any of you willing to donate or part with your old Famicom games, let me know!)

Hey thanks man. The Famicom certainly brings back alot of memories. Having sat down infront of the same old Sony Trinitron TV we got some 15 years ago and playing back classic games like Akoumajo Special really make me feel like a kid again!! I'm so loving it.. Now I should be hunting somemore Famicom games.. Ahh.. Turtles 2 Arcade, Tiny Tunes, Chip and Dales, Rockman, Castlevania, Kage, Recca , SMB, SMB3, Double dragon, CONTRA.. Man.. too many titles to name here..

@ sonic - cool, did you get the printer as well? I was tempted to get one of those but the printing papers are difficult to get

@ PhatPhunk - That's a minty Famicom you have there So you finally switched your target from handheld to console now?

why got no turbo button on the famicom controller?

Ori Famicom no Turbo button one IIRC.. but then I remember seeing the Turbo switch (not button) somewhere before for second player

Mine has turbo button b4 i guess mine was fake famicom la

Hey Gundamalpha! Long time no see. Thanks for the complimentsman.. Hmm I sorta almost complete my handheld collection (just missing the Gameboy color). Anyways, yeah.. I think I'm starting with consoles now.. Slowly.. But I wanna concerntrate on Famicom for now.. Game carts, pheripherals, etc..

How about you my friend? Still can't get enough of the Saturn huh? Cheers man..

Added on April 13, 2009, 1:36 pmSony S4PH (lol). Yeah we here in Malaysia was plagued by the invasion of the FamiClones. I have never seen an Ori Famicom being sold in shops here even once. I'm not surprised if you thought yours was original (as I also thought mine was when I first got it) But it was cool looking. White and Gray color scheme, and it has orange turbo buttons. I think it looked sleek and wouldn't mine buying one if I see them again... Mine got busted by my bro's friend when he got excited and accidently pulled out the eject slot! I suppose it can be repaired, but we didn't care about it and just left it there and eventually threw it away when we moved to the new house.

@ PhatPhunk - Haven't bought any hardware lately, no time and space Will be getting a PS2 from US next month because of price drop, other than that no plan for anything else this year.

Have been collecting US RPGs across various platforms lately, and some other titles here and there. Planning to pump up my US SNES collection too

Panasonic M2?
It was dead before release.....

It look like Sanyo 3DO in my opinion.
