Metal Slug playthrough (Arcade) on the Nintendo Switch.

First time playing through this amazing game, so good in fact it made me want a Neo Geo AES home console. After years of staring in the back of gaming mags and seeing an episode of Video Power 19901992 where a kid picked out a Neo Geo (probably didn't know what it was) and carried down the slide to the finish line. It grabbed my attention, and I never forgotten it.

Years later, while working at a local game store, I knew a young kid who was more into Japanese culture and video games than me. He help hooked me up with my first Neo Geo AES and I've been down that rabbit hole ever since.

What are your memories of the Neo Geo AES home console? Share in the comments!
