Best Neo-Geo Games


Blue's Journey - Platformer - A solid-enough (and very difficult) platform game, with support for two players simultaneously (you can even carry the other player), and an interesting size-changing ability. Full of cute touches, such as seeing stage enemies happily chatting to each other while you're out of their field of vision. What makes it especially memorable is its incredibly poor translation work, which adds a whole dimension of unintended humour to the game. The game even occasionally misspells the name of its own hero as "Bule". (This game is also known as Raguy.)

Is so that.*


I recommend Blazing Star, if you can find it. In terms of appearance, it puts a lot of far more modern games written for far more modern hardware to shame. Magician Lord is awesome, but absurdly unforgiving.

I can't believe no one mentioned Galaxy Fight and Waku Waku 7. These weren't the best fighters of all time, but they were really fun, and Waku Waku 7 was especially nice.


Oh yeah, and BONUS-KUN.

Twinkle Star Sprites - Kind of a mixture of battle puzzle games (Tetris Attack, Super Puzzle Fighter) and 2d shooters.
