Cool videos! The heavier guy with the glasses gets a bit irritating after a while though...

They are right about people wanting pick-up and play games again. I've been out of gaming for a while because a lot of games had stupidly long (unskippable) intro's, too much story, blablabla.... That's the fun of the arcade games and 8/16-bit home gaming era, insert coin/turn on console, press start and play.

It's funny what they say about the NeoGeo home console: "nobody wants that!". I remember drooling over those games in the store next to the Sega Mega Drive games. They were like 14.000BEF (€350) IIRC :lol:. For kids like me it was a dream to own a NeoGeo. When I built my supergun a few years ago, it was the second game/system I bought for it (Moonwalker was my first pcb).
