SNK Neo•Geo "Crash Course" Playlist

I couldn't afford a Neo•Geo AES on my weekly allowance back in 1991, and if I asked my folks for one, they would have died laughing. Unless I won the lottery, I just couldn't imaging coming up with $649 to spend on a game console, not to mention the games. I never did win the lottery, but that didn't stop me from dreaming about owning a Neo•Geo! Early '90s ads for that baby were like pinups on my wall. Drool... Well, if none of this sounds familiar to you, no need to worry.

I've scoured YouTube (so you don't have to) and emerged with an informative "crash course" in all things SNK and Neo•Geo! Will Lu from TheGameStation covers the hardware and history in a quick overview, while Gamespot and G4 follow up with a more in-depth look at SNK's background and the rise & fall of the Neo•Geo. I've also included one of my favorite original commercials for Art of Fighting 2 which is cheesy 90's goodness at it's best!
