Neo Geo vs A1200

[Thorham]

Buy a NeoGeo... spend life's savings trying to collect games. Impress your self with that feeling that "hey, I've got the real hardware", then realize "hey there is not OS, might as well just emulate the games". Impress a few friends here and there with your new hardware... the moment passes, life goes on, you learn to regret it.

Indeed. Applies to everyone in existence, because everyone is exactly the same

the neo geo cannot be compared to the amiga 1200. its a superior machine.

No, it's not a superior machine. Consoles like the Neo Geo are better for old school 2D games, because their hardware is optimized for that. For everything else, these consoles loose big time to machines like the A1200.

An A1200 has much more RAM, higher graphics resolutions in far more colours, a proper CPU slot, IDE interface, PCMCIA interface that's actually useful (networking), a faster CPU, and probably some things that I forgot.
