Neo-Geo : The Game Console That Won't Die 208
xonox writes: "Perhaps you heard about the Neo-Geo game console when it came out some 12 years ago. Most people remember it because it was very expensive. Well, after 12 years, it is still alive and getting brand new commercial games for it. It may be a bit of a niche item but still. The Neo-Geo console was essentially the arcade hardware of the same name inside a prettier case. 3 games have been produced this year for the arcade hardware and two of those 3 have been released for the home console. If you think 2d games are cool, then you should check out http://www.neo-geo.com for more information about one of the greatest 2d platforms of all time. I'm picking playability over 3d anyday :)"

Sony, Microsoft, et al: Here's one.
Neo-Geo: I'm not dead yet.
Marketplace: He says he's not dead
Sony, Microsoft, et al: Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
Neo-Geo: I'm getting better.
Sony, Microsoft, et al: No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
Marketplace: Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
Neo-Geo: I don't want to go on the cart!
Sony, Microsoft, et al: Oh, don't be such a baby.
Marketplace: I can't take him.
Sony, Microsoft, et al: Well, do us a favor.
Marketplace: I can't.
Sony, Microsoft, et al: Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
Marketplace: No, I've got to go to Sega Headquarters. They've lost their whole hardware division today.
Neo-Geo: I think I'll go for a walk.
Sony, Microsoft, et al: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?
Neo-Geo: I feel happy. I feel happy.
(metal) SLUG
Sony, Microsoft, et al: Ah, thanks very much.
Marketplace: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
