As most of you who know me from the Candid Collector's forum know, I'm huge into game displays. I finally got what was my holy grail of a Dreamcast Kiosk about a month ago and have loved every minute of it. The problem with getting the one item that you really desire is... what do you do next? Well, I know what I'm going to do...
It's time to get a Neo Geo MVS! I'm a big SNK fan (anyone that knows what my name means, this should be obvious) and I've always loved their arcade system. I thought about a console, but the arcade system is just so much cooler. Plus, the carts for the arcade are WAY cheaper than the ones for the AES system.
I've started the hunt and so far, what I have near me has been very sad. There is a one slot near by, but it's been kept working in a basement. Given all the moisture of a basement, I can only imagine how corroded things could be in there, so I'm really not excited about the prospect. The other one is a 4 slot (Big red, as they are called) but the seller wants $1,200 for a big red, which is rediculous. I keep seeing them for like $400-500 with games, so at that price, the coin op slots would have to be replaced with some sort of sexual gratification machine (which I'm sure the wife wouldn't be a fan of)
Once I've reached the point of success, I'll let you guys know, but until then, I won't be buying any games (the collection will still rise on the wife's purchases 
)
