      Very few people had the Neo-Geo because it was $500+ in the early 90s, which is $1,000+ today. Each game was $100+ too. It was cheaper to play the games at the Neo-Geo arcade machines which were all over, and most of the arcade machines held 4 or 6 games you could switch between.

    See, kids, Bill O'Reilly is an actual Baby Boomer. Born just after the war, in 1949, he cruised through his dumb life yelling at and bullying people shorter than him while being wildly overpaid for his stupid takes. That game counsellor is far smarter than Billo. Great video. Brings me right back.

      @@jmtradacc What's even more strange is remembering when this game first came out and playing it at such a young age and having spent so many years experiencing new gaming consoles over the years like the Sega Genesis, SNES, Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation, N64, Sega Dreamcast, Playstation 2, Xbox, and so on and then coming back to where it all began again. Abandoning all the others to play this one system like it's brand new again. Coming back to Super Mario World in your 30's and realizing how much has changed over the years and how much less time you have for playing a game like this but making all the time you can like there is none left.😊
      I played this game off and on over the last 30 years but have never been completely dedicated to putting a lot of time into it due to the over saturation of modern gaming consoles and new titles that came with them. I am now making as much time as I can for these classic games and am about halfway through this game now. ⭐

      @savesgaming  2 роки тому +3

      Hi Patrick, I'm pretty sure this is from 1991. The segment that follows this is a piece on Luke Perry, which Inside Edition has on their own website as having originally aired August in 1991. You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/rEVwF7II5GI/v-deo.html
      I believe Inside Edition mistakenly added a clip of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past from a video preview/early version of the game supplied by Nintendo or another news agency. It was released in Japan in November 1991. You'll notice the hyphen separating 1991 and 1992 on the title screen? As far as I know that hyphen not appear in the final retail version of the game, a comma separates the 1991 and 1992 in the retail version.
