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.

It only makes me wonder the same thing I've wondered for a long time; why is samzenpus still allowed to post articles?

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

>>>it requires you to infer your own meaning
It makes me think about the Great Debate. Ya know, that question that makes all classic gamers flame and troll one another: Which had the largest cart? N64 or Neo-Geo? I side with the N64 at 64 megabytes (RE2 with videos).
Also: Which console had the longest life (i.e. longest time being manufactured)? I side with the Atari 2600 at 15 years (1977-1992).
How's that for inferring my own meaning? :-)

I believe the later model Neo Geo cartridges were capable of storing around 90 megabytes.

Didn't the cartridges of the day measure in Mbits? I seem to recall games boasting X Mbits of storage.
Re: (Score:1)
Okay. Then the largest N64 cart has 64 * 8 == 512 Mbit

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.

Just curious, is the speech impediment part of the character? He sounds like he was born deaf or something.
Also, "best retrogaming comedy" is a pretty low bar. How do you tell the difference?
Re: (Score:2)
Yes, it's schtick. And yeah, I guess there's not a lot of competition. The Angry Video Game Nerd would be another example of high quality video game comedy. Talking Classics stands out for the great acting and physical comedy.

Re: (Score:2)
I'm not a huge fan of vs. fighters myself. But the Neo Geo is great for all the shooters. Blazing Star, Pulstar, Aero-Fighters, etc. The Metal Slug series is an absolute classic run-n-gun. And there are some good puzzle games on it too. Puzzle Bobble, Magical Drop, and so on. Now I'd never pay the hundreds of dollars necessary to play these at home, but they're lots of fun to play on emulation once in a while.

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

I'm not trying to make fun of anybody, but does the guy singing in the video have a mental problem? He sounds like he had developmental problems in the womb and through-out his life.

That's exactly what his character is supposed to be like, yes. His character, not his true self.
Neo-Geo (Score:2)
The most memorable part about Neo-Geo in the arcade was the attract mode of a certain game:
REAL!
DYYYNAMIC! [v.o. "AAANNOYING!"]
BASEBALL STARS! PROFESSIONAL!
That, and the Engrish from Magician Lord: "You, persistent guy. But your life ends right now," and, "Again changes to hell."
Then again, I sat in one spot on TNMT breaking boomerangs long enough to roll the score over (9999 to 0000). That proved to be a bit annoying to the others in the arcade. Particularly my second attempt the next day to get exactly 9999 points when a particular asshole unplugged the machine.

Yep, they really pushed the cabinet around for that. They did however fake the gameplay on the cabinet. That would be really hard to capture on video with all the changing lighting.
