As CD drive prices dropped, and as CDs had always been vastly cheaper than cartridges, SNK attempted to make their Neo Geo powerhouse of a console (and its games) almost affordable, and thus the Neo Geo CD was born. With the exception of the tiresome loading times, it was and still is a great console, sporting some of the most impressive 2D games ever developed.
Handily, you can grab a fully working Japanese version of the machine via this Neo Geo CD eBay auction. The console comes in its original box with two controllers, manual, and all necessary cables, bits and varied pieces.
