I had a Neo Geo CD and about 45 games, At one point I loved it and thought I would never get rid of it but as time went on i couldn't help feeling that i wasn't playing the games on the right format............I agree with everyone that the sound really was the best bit about the console (real good quality sterio sound) but those load times just killed me in the end, it's especially bad for those of us who like fighters because their load times were the worst!! Owning a Neo CD, was for me, a good way to get the chance to play lots of Neo games (never done emu) but alas the time came when I thought I'm gonna sell it and get AES.........I never looked back!!........One thing i didn't consider was MVS which works out cheaper but what the heck!!!!
