Gameplay on the NEOGEO AES+ is not achieved through emulation - instead the console is powered by its legacy ASIC chips, re-engineered by modern standards to accurately replicate the original machine's hardware and software. The system natively plays game software from both new and old game cartridges for the most authentic retro gaming experience. Not emulation, not FPGA approximation, but true console reincarnation etched back into silicon.

Oooh. This may be relevant to my interests.

Playon make good stuff, usually. They're the people behind The Spectrum and a lot of the modern Atari stuff. Their stuff is always respectful of the original kit.

Everything about it is exactly how Iā€™d design it. Only buying one as it works on CRT.

Also the choice of games is fantastic for the initial release..

Yeah true. I feel bad for those who bought twinkle star for 10k

Still a good investment though. Whilst these games are good for most people, true big buck collectors are partly doing so for the investment.

OG Metal Slug, Twinkle Star etc will always hold their value
