Zenigundam Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Obviously I've known about it since I became cognizant of video games, but I've never seen one before outside of pics. I thought it was just a console, but there's an arcade component to it too? How did that work? How do you play it I mean?

They started off as arcade cabinets, mostly consisting of 2D fighters, and sidescrollers.....When they turned the cabinets into consoles, they didn't remove the coin-op functionality so even the console versions of games.....They literally used a slightly modified Arcade mobo and implemented the console/tape relationship.....This meant the NG weighed 400 pounds and the tapes were as big as a Dr. Seuss book......And the $700 pricetag it boasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunStarHero Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There was the AES which was a cart based home console that ran what's called "arcade perfect" games. In other words the AES could run arcade games at home but as Buddy said, it was and still is very expensive. The MVS was the actual cabinet you'd see in arcades and allowed for up to 6 different game cartridges to be hooked up at a given time. This is totally unique to that system but it's cheaper to get into, after the cabinet of course. It's also the longest running game system in terms of production and game releases, lasting 14 years before being discontinued. Both systems played nigh identical versions of the same games and were not region locked so any and all games would work on any system regardless of country of origin. They're really nice if you have the means and love classic arcade games. There are also two CD based consoles, the CD and CDZ, that are much cheaper but do not run nearly as well.

That thing weighs 400 lbs? That's crazy. How would you even buy that in stores? Same with the arcade thing, the MVS, GunStar says. Yeah well, so you didn't need to buy both for it to work? One is just a console that you plug into your TV and the other is an arcade that you can buy separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes they are separate; you would just need one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty cool that you can insert cartridges into the arcade unit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea some people prefer the cabinet, and the games for said cabinet are much cheaper. There's also a countertop version of the MVS if you dont have room for a full cabinet.

Zenigundam Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Ah ok I see how it works now. So mostly fighting games and beat em up sidescrollers, they should have put some RPGs on that clunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortedreasoning Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 zeni i know you grew up in the 90s so you must have seen the arcades around when you were growing up. they were everywhere back then. at least they were where i grew up. go to any small corner market, laundromat, or family restaurant and they usually had one. the neo geo aes was the home console version of this thing, and it included the exact same hardware as the arcade counterparts but at a smaller form factor and different wiring for their games. neat little system, like buddy said, if you like fighters or any arcade perfect ports then the console is for you. though i dont think you can afford it.
