Description: NEO GEO AES Memory Card NEO-IC8 - Tested rare DescriptionThe Neo Geo AES Memory Card is a memory card developed by SNK for the Neo Geo AES (home game console) and MVS (arcade cabinet). This memory card provided the ability to save game progress and was used as an important accessory to expand the arcade game experience. Main FeaturesGame Save Function: Early Neo Geo arcade games usually did not have the ability to save games in the middle of the game, but by using a memory card, you can temporarily save your game progress. In particular, it was characterized by the ability to share data between AES (home console) and MVS (arcade cabinet). In other words, it was possible to resume a game that you were playing at the arcade and left halfway through on your Neo Geo AES at home.Compatible Titles: The memory card was mainly compatible with RPGs and games that require long play times. Representative compatible titles include the "Fatal Fury" series and "Samurai Shodown". This allowed you to save your progress and carry it over to the next time you play.Capacity and Compatibility: The memory card had a capacity of about 2KB, and there was enough space to store several save data for compatible games. At the time, the save data for standard arcade games was very light, so this capacity was sufficient. Also, the same card could be used with both the MVS and AES systems, so a major benefit was that if you had the card, you could continue your arcade experience at home. Slot structure: The Neo Geo AES console is equipped with a memory card slot, which is where you insert the card to use it. The MVS arcade cabinet also has a similar slot, so you could save and load save data using the same memory card in both cases. How to use Use in arcades (MVS): Insert the memory card while playing in an arcade cabinet and save game data at a specific timing. This allowed you to use the card to reload your progress and continue playing from where you left off, even if you lost the game. Use in home (AES): By inserting the card into the Neo Geo AES console, you can continue playing the data saved at the arcade at home. You can also bring data saved at home to the arcade.Current valueThe Neo Geo AES memory card is now a popular and hard-to-obtain item among retro game collectors. For those who own the original Neo Geo AES or MVS, it is one of the necessary accessories to recreate the experience of those days. The original memory card can be traded at a high price even on the second-hand market, and is valuable as a retro game collection. SummaryThe Neo Geo AES Memory Card was an advanced item that crossed the boundary between arcades and home game consoles, offering an innovative feature at the time: saving game progress. The concept of bringing the arcade experience home was a unique point of the Neo Geo, and it is still a very valuable item for retro gamers and collectors.Shipping FedEx or Japan PostInternational Buyers - Please Note: Import duties and taxes are not included the item price or shipping cost.
