The Home Arcade.

Runtime: 64 Minutes

Today, we're all going to learn about the Neo-Geo platform, which saw its first release in April of 1990. As part of our history lesson, we'll talk about the history of the SNK Corporation leading up to the release of the Neo Geo. We'll also talk about significant games in the Neo-Geo library, including a ton of fighting games, and touch on how they do in the collectible market today. Finally, we'll talk about why younger generations likely haven't heard of this console before. Join us for today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
