Neo Geo

In 1994, SNK released the Neo Geo AES (Advanced Entertainment System), a home console that was designed to be compatible with the arcade version of the Neo Geo. The AES was expensive, with a launch price of around $1,000, but it offered a unique opportunity for gamers to play arcade-quality games in the comfort of their own homes.

The AES was famously the "Rolls-Royce of consoles." While a SNES game might cost $50, a Neo Geo AES cartridge could retail for over $200 because the cartridges themselves contained the same massive ROM chips used in arcade boards. 2. The Legendary Library neo geo
