This is an American football game made specially by SNK for the Neo-Geo system. Not being much of an expert on football, let alone its much simpler cousin, soccer, I can’t be sure how this game works though. But it does look pretty fun, certainly if you know what […]

Here’s a recording of the wild west bounty hunter game, Sunsetriders!
This a splendid game with some tongue-in-cheek elements where you need to go after several outlaw gang leaders, culminating in the showdown with Sir Richard Rose. The gold badges provide a special quick draw ability, and the silver badges […]

This is the only wrestling game of its sort I know of that was made for the Neo-Geo, not counting King of the Monsters, and sorry to say, but it tanks. The controls just didn’t handle well at all, nor the surrealistic attacks. The way it announces how a […]

I think some time should be taken now to make a note on an atrocity of a game that whitewashed the crimes of a monster who was in truth just that: Che Guevara.
I once found an example of Che Guevara whitewashing on this fansite for the old Neo-Geo game […]

An interesting variation on Gradius and R-Type, what makes this game unique is the ability to change between directions in which to shoot, being straight or diagonal! It’s very cool, and if only there were more games like this today.

Here’s a little lineup of SNK’s bunch of baseball games:
We first begin with Baseball Stars from 1989. It was a brilliant game at the stadium, where you could customize teams and players.
This was made shortly before SNK built their Neo-Geo MVS, and when they did, launched a special version […]

This was a great game from around 1987, where you’re flying a WW2 fighter jet over enemy territory, blasting away plenty of enemy planes and tanks. Notice that you need to shoot the tanks twice, first to eliminate the cannon, and then to blow up the rest of it. […]

Also called Alcon in the US, this is a good plane fighting game that uses elements from both Xevious and even Gradius, though unlike the former, your firepower can reach the ground without […]

An old shoot-em-up from the 80s, this certainly does have quite a complicated setup and many tricky enemies to deal with.

A combination of ideas drawn from both Moon Patrol and R-Type, you play as an intergalactic police patroller who needs to battle tons of dangerous invaders and troublemakers within your sectors of the galaxy. The fast pacing makes it much harder and trickier than either of the games combined.
