 The Shin-Nihon Kikaku Corporation
|
|
The Shin-Nihon Kikaku Corporation was established in the mid-1980s. After developing several games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, the SNK Corporation developed their MVS Board and introduced it to arcades worldwide. Unfortunately, the SNK Corporation's MVS Board did not gain the attention it deserved due to the fact that more well-known arcade titles such as Street Fighter stole all of the attention. Even in spite of this obstacle, the SNK Corporation developed their own entertainment system series known as Neo-Geo.

The Neo-Geo Entertainment System Series
|
|
The Neo-Geo entertainment system series began with Neo-Geo Gold: the SNK Corporation's cartridge entertainment system which brought perfect arcade ports into homes across the world. Unfortunately, these perfect arcade ports were reserved for the financially endowed. Neo-Geo Gold's market suggested retail price was $650 and its cartridges' market suggested retail prices ranged from $225 to $275. Addressing the outstanding prices, the SNK Corporation developed a compact disc entertainment system simply titled: Neo-Geo CD. Again, however, a major problem arose: lack of quality. The SNK Corporation's compact disc arcade ports were easily scratched and ruined, weighted down with exceedingly long load times, and missing certain animation frames. Third time being a charm, the SNK Corporation corrected its Neo-Geo CD problem by developing the Neo-Geo CDZ. This third installment in the Neo-Geo entertainment system series shined with reasonable load times and full animations, but its maker's past mistakes cost the Neo-Geo CDZ its life.

The Neo-Geo emulation uprising began along with other outdated entertainment systems from Atari, Nintendo, Sega, and others. Most recently, Neo-Rage X was developed and now Neo-Geo Gold's perfect arcade ports are available to play from a user-friendly interface. By simply downloading a zipped file into Neo- Rage X's ROM folder and clicking the "Import" button on the user-friendly interface, your favorite SNK arcade title will be available to play by highlighting it from the game list and clicking the "Launch" button. With 110 titles in Neo-Rage X's game list, you're sure to find digital nostalgia bliss.
