problem is most good snk games all came out later. theres some good old games, for some worth buying for others not soo much (ffs, ss2 & kof95 to name a few). all 3 of these are actually fun, i might personally get ss2 is the netcode is on par wirth 95 (dont know if theres asny comp though). personally i dont plan on buying any kof game but 13 (i love 97&98), i just wanna quit all those old kofs and not play them anymore. there are however some games that still havent got new eps, where the old ones are still great to play. im not saying older kofs aint worth playing, its just that 13 is everything kof should have been and more (if yamazaki is in it) thus making other kofs absolute.
theres still too many good games though, what to get? rb2, rbs, rb, ff3, ill probably only get rb2 (only one worth tournament play imo). LB 1 and 2 are great, though 2 is more competetive so that might be the only one i get (hopefully we get ast's and training this time around,because at least training is in the og games of aes as well).
what will be fun is getting games not released on neo geo cd that ive never owned games like waku waku 7 and kizuna encounter, matrimelee (and rotf, but thats crap). im hoping for shocktroopers as well, game was dope.
