The Neo Geo was a console released by SNK in 1990, featuring a 16/32-bit 68000 CPU with an additional 8-bit Z80 CPU and custom 24-bit GPU chipset. An arcade-based console considerably powerful for a home system at the time, the Neo Geo was notoriously expensive (costing $650 at launch) and aggressively marketed as an Advanced Entertainment System (AES).
" $9.00 a pop for those games on the PS3 is pretty laughable. Those games were great in their time, but they should be like $2.50 each. To each his own I guess, but if you got all ten of those games for $90.00 would that feel like a good deal to you? "
If you compare it to the crap you pay $3 for in Gameroom...

The load times on that game are PAINFUL though. It might be worth getting a version of Shock Troopers that doesn't load in the middle of a level. And Magician Lord felt painfully sluggish as well.
Seriously, if PSN store does what it generally does with price conversion (namely: swapping the dollar sign for a pound sign), then there isn't a fucking chance I'll be buying any of these.
If they are more reasonable, however, and go for 3 or 4 quid, then I'll be all over this.
