The Return of Max 330 Mega Pro-Gear Spec...

Fair enough. Mum and dad can't afford to get little Timmy the Playstation he wants for Christmas in this economy.

The carts for this beast used to cost 1250 francs (130 quid) back in the day !!
A friend of mine had one... drooled over it as we played King of the Monsters.
The greatest controllers ever for a console as well. Would gladly buy a USB version of one for the PC if they made it.

It looks a lovely bit of kit and something a lot of us probably dreamed of having back in the day, but the price was beyond scary at the time.

I've lost the desire for another piece of hardware now and the need to collect, so £70 for a single game is prohibitive to me, especially as all these games have so many ways to be played perfectly through legal and emulation methods. I think I probably own all the release games at least 3 times.

But for those with the nostalgia, free cash and space, it looks great.

Same thoughts here…. However its announcement did make me pick up a few shooters from the NeoGeo back catalogue and they are great although relentlessly tough. (Pulstar and Blazing Star). Best R-Type clones I’ve played. Very 90s visuals and sounds and those lovely lovely 2D scaling sprites. Must have been amazing at the time. Still look great now.
