  • Mort bought some #neogeo #aes games from Chris of ‪@lifeismysoundtrack‬ but soon is filled with doubts as to their authenticity. Thankfully, Ben (‪@retro_escape2969‬) has the lowdown on MVS, AES, Bootlegs, repros, and all the info you NEED to know when collecting #neogeo games!
    Big thanks to Kris of Retro Games Plus for letting us take over the store! Make sure and check them out online.

    Nice video! Lots of great information regarding NEO GEO.
    One thing to keep in mind, most of the games that were MVS conversions or bootlegs are the later releases or the games that always had a high value in the aftermarket.
    I only came across 1 conversion since I started buying Neo Geo AES games a few years ago. Most collectors in the scene are truthful, which is really good to know.

    Glad they were real and not bootlegs. I bought three boxes of mvs carts and this video was helpful, because I did not know they made bootlegs. I also might have an answer for original price because I remember seeing an old invoice in one of the boxes.

    I just got schooled today. Had no idea about any of this. We don't own a Neo Geo. Never something we see here but that's so good for any collector to know to always check their games and HOW to check. There's always a tell.
    Very glad they are both authentic!

    Great video! Glad the Neo Geo AES is getting some love. If you decide to dive deeper into Neo Geo you will have to learn how to identify the "paper "which is the insert, manual and label. English copies are more expensive and people are getting better and better at swapping carts from Japanese copies. Great stuff.

    I still have the Neo Geo Gold system I got back in 1991. Still have a bunch of AES games as well. I only ever bought a few off of eBay. They didn't go into too much detail on the bootleg checks, but it's not quite enough to just "make sure" everything looks legit/lines up. You have to also ensure the actual chips themselves are the originals.
