You decide the fate of the NEOGEO fighters as they brawl on Facebook

NeoGeo X Gold

If you spent time in an arcade and saw a machine that had multiple fighting games on it, then you probably were looking at a NEOGEO machine. The machine had two sticks with four buttons for each, and the games could be switched in and out of the cabinet. What was crazier was that you could actually purchase a home machine that was exactly the same as the cabinet. Unfortunately, the cost of the machine made this system stay in the arcade. It was a fighting fans’ dream system though. Now the NEOGEO X system is available at a more affordable price, with several games already loaded into it, but SNK Playmore has revealed a new contest where you can win one. In NEOGEO X All-Star Brawl, two different characters will duke it out, and your votes on Facebook will determine the winner.

All you need to do is go to the NEOGEOXUSA Facebook page and vote for your favorite character. Twenty characters will enter, but only one will be victorious. Be sure to check out the contest each day to find out the winner and to vote for your favorite. Who knows, you could win a NEOGEO X Gold System, Mega Pack Volume 1, and an arcade stick.

While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV.
