This is a somewhat baffling revelation for people who were in the 1990s arcade scene, because the Neo Geo, at its peak, represented the future. Now 30 years old, the Neo Geo lies deep in video game history's retro wing. That, in a way, also sums up the Neo Geo as a whole, a niche platform that literally changed the game. As a result, the Neo Geo's exterior was nothing its guts-a beautiful array of classic arcade titles-was everything. That imagery was reserved for the relatively small marquee above the CRT monitor. Neo Geo uprights didn't feature explosions, speed lines, or brawling figures as adornments because the hardware's unique design let arcade owners swap new game cartridges into their existing MVS units, instead of buying expensive, standalone machines for each title. The Neo Geo MVS didn't do that, and it wasn't due to SNK, the hardware's manufacturer, possessing a subdued, artistic vision. Most 1990s-era arcade machines continued the 1980s tradition of flamboyant cabinet art by featuring their in-game characters in larger-than-life fashion. The Neo Geo Multi Video System, also known as the Neo Geo MVS, had a low-key arcade profile, despite its blaring red-and-white color scheme. (Image courtesy of Wikipedia user Beeblebrox)
