It was alright back in the day I suppose. Girl in 2001 offered to buy me one out of her inheritance from her grandma but I wouldn't let her and I'm glad since a year later my Xbox did the same shit for me.

Just get an MVS and a multicart

Why benefits besides from loading times does the MVS have? Better quality music in a game is something i prefer over loading times.

They are not a problem with CDZ, only fighting games suffer, and they suck.

The Metal Slugs and Aero Fighters are good but the rest of those are mediocre - Magician Lord is utter garbage. Sengoku 1 and 2 are mediocre especially compared to 3 etc.

It's still a problem, even with the CDZ. Metal Slug loads mid-stage for eg.

Magician lord is a classic.

You can skip the Neo Geo CD boot screen,,,,
Load times for most games (excluding fighting games) are extremely short on CDZ.

Music is amazing. Especially Last Resort CD :D

CDZ is notorious for overheating problems, and cart-based consoles have an inherent longevity advantage due to fewer moving parts to wear down.

That said, if you do go for a NGCD, CDZ is the only SKU worth bothering with.

Terrible way to play Neo Geo games. Completly missing some of the best later neo-geo games (Mark of the Wolves, Sam Shodown 5/5 Special, KOF 2002). Why would anyone pay for this in 2018 when the thing is likely to break down soon and MAME emulation is near-perfect?

Honestly, if I wasn't 5 years old in the early 90s, I would have just dealt drugs to make up the extra money for the Neo Geo. Because Jesus Christ.
