Neo Geo store

Looking at the demos of all the Neo Geo games on the PSN store it's hard to imagine that these games cost over a £100 when new, and just how crappy they look now. Doubt I'd pay anything above 50p to download one, but each to their own.

Regards

    They have blatantly waaay overpriced them all. What are, they, £8 a pop? I was expecting several for a fiver or something. Was looking forward to a few of those too, like Metal Slug, but the price they're set at I'll be staying well clear

    I always liked the graphical style of metal slug and would have bought it on PSN if it was a few quid but as with everything on PSN, it's overpriced. Whatever happened to downloadable content being cheaper?

    They cost so much way back because they were not originally designed for the consumer market. £100+ is a lot for a console cartridge but for an arcade it was a cheap easy way of rotating games or having multi game cabinets.

    £7.99 for a Neo Geo game...it's shocking.

    Who wanted these games?! We want more PSone games, PS2 games on the store. Not crappy pixelated graphic games!

    I've downloaded a fighting ninja sort of game or something that came free with PS+ but still have not tried it out yet.

    I nearly choked when I saw the price...no way I'd pay that.

    Who wanted these games? Well Im quite happy there putting some up as I love many of the NeoGeo games.

    All the King Of Fighters games & Metal Slug games were/are awesome. For instance I'd rate any of the NeoGeo King Of Fighters games above many better looking, more recent fighting games.

    Soccer Brawl. I loved that game until I realised that if you lined your player up a few inches below the centre circle and fired a super shot it beat the CPU goalie everytime.

    I don't get how they actually dare charge 8 quid a game when you can get 40 of them on a disc for like a tenner, it just makes no sense at all.

    Those "40 on a disc" are illegal ROMS, that's why they're only a tenner (or free if you do it yourself). Not that I agree with the charges Sony have applied. Bloody rip-off they are.

    I have SNK Collection for the PS2 that plays perfectly well on my PS3 for King Of Fighters, Art Of Fighting etc and I really enjoy these games, however, I only payed £4 for all 16 Neo-Geo games in this collection so I find £8 a game a bit excessive!

    I had a Neo-Geo at the time.

    To be honest now, it was a bit "Emperor's New Clothes" - I spent so much time convincing schoolmates how it was worth the stupid money for the games, but frankly they weren't that much better.
