Neo Geo vs A1200

@vince you are wrong there!
 
The Neo Geo is an excellent console, as said its very well built and the games are of a very high quality. They're expensive though, that's why you should consider getting one of the xxx-in-1 cartridges that can be found on ebay from time to time:

Illegal? Well.. playing the games on MAME isnt legal either, so..

Also, the Neo Geo is not similar to the Amiga in any way other than the CPU. Its full of custom hardware to get better quality sound, graphics and for example, more sprites on screen.

Oh and forget about the X and the CD, for reasons already pointed out.

for some reason I think many of you missed my previous post. like I said, the neo geo cannot be compared to the amiga 1200. its a superior machine. the neo geo cd sounds like a good idea but doesnt have much benefit over the original console + multicartridge. as for people stating its useless to invest in such old machine, I have no idea what you are doing on amiga.org. I find much enjoyment investing in and playing with old game consoles and computers and judging by the interest online, Im certainly not alone.

exactly.
 
also, this nonsense about higher resolutions and productivity software, we're comparing the machines as game machines, not as office desktop, obviously.. and Ive yet to see an amiga game running in 640x512x16 on original hardware.

Im talking 16 bit, not 16 colours.. and no, Myst doesnt count.

I believe you are right again an awesome console. For sure the best '2D console' ever built.
