$150?! That’s an amazing deal! The last boxed AES I saw here in a local HardOff was selling for 15,000yen by itself – it lasted about a week and was sold too.

Those are very cool! I’ve become a bit of sucker for collecting the SF merchandise as well recently. Haven’t gotten myself any of those figures though…. yet.

I have this game for the GameGear, surprisingly the graphics are very similair. I didn’t find it an easy or forgiving game, not one I’d take with me on a journey. Unless I was in need of some gaming rage lol

You have the M.Bison…I hate you with a passion! Very envious!

I love the Kidrobot Street Fighter figures and the randomness that comes along with trying to complete the set!

I still like this offering to the Amiga, but i agree. Sitting inside the Starwars cabinets and having the voices speaking from just behind your ear was something else. “Luke let go!”, “Red five coming in”.

Interesting post. This device is definitely on my wanted list. Would make a great addition to an Amiga 500. I’ve gotten hold a new Amiga 500 now and I’m considering various options when it comes to expansion. This one looks like a winner.

Hi there,

Sounds like you made a good deal there. Looks like a stunning game!

For the past three days, I’ve been laid up ill. so been using the Amiga cd32 and an emulated A1200 on the Nomad, Arcade pool anyone? Loved the review and totally agree.

Not all three, just one.

Emulators are okay.

But just okay. They’re not great. They are exactly what they set out to be, an emulation of the real thing. There’s a tactile satisfaction in playing on a real machine. A HDMI widescreen monitor doesn’t produce quite the right imagery compared to a 1084S screen.

The Neo Geo AES doesn’t feel the same if you don’t suffer DOMS from lifting the cartridge into the slot for gaming goodness.

Near enough will be good enough, but never right…..

Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting I play each of my three copies of Shaq Fu?

I don’t play my collection. That’s why God invented emulators. I’m no stranger to the Mushroom Kingdom, and compared to the time I’ve spent with M Bison in Thailand my episodes in Liberty City amount to little more than a vacation. But when it comes to the hardware, the consoles and carts, the d-pads and diskettes, I consider myself far more of an archivist.

And I too know the joy of an unused SNES. The smell, the sheen, the manuals so flat in their slick plastic sleeves. And the twist ties. Everyone knows once you take those off you NEVER get them back the same way, and I love that they’re still bound with factory perfection. It’s the centrepiece of my -archive-, and may it never see the sun again.
