I was barely, if at all, aware of the existence of SNK and the Neo Geo (MVS or AES) in the '90s. I was introduced to it all after the turn of the century, when I first met my husband. He's a big fan and consolized an MVS himself. I still have never played an AES, but I don't really see a point in doing so. A consolized MVS is cheaper, and so are MVS carts versus AES carts, and I think it's really dumb that they made this high-end home console and yet limited it to composite straight out of the box. We have universal bios for our consolized MVS, so we can play any game in home mode if we want, along with changing the region and such, and you can plug AES and Neo CD controllers into an MVS. And we've bought shockboxes for most of our MVS carts, so they look impressive on a shelf just like CIB AES games do. It's all pretty bulky, though, so we admittedly don't set up the MVS much anymore. It was more worthwhile having in the early '00s, back when Neo Geo emulation was still pretty iffy.
