SNK fist released Neo Geo-branded hardware in 1990, as a couple of arcade cabinets. A home console based on the hardware, simply called the Neo Geo, was released on January 31 of that year, and in 1991 in America. Although only initially available for rentals, due to the system's cost, it soon became clear that a niche market was available for a highly priced console. In America, the Neo Geo launched at $599, including two game controllers and one of a few select games.

  • SNK fist released Neo Geo-branded hardware in 1990, as a couple of arcade cabinets. A home console based on the hardware, simply called the Neo Geo, was released on January 31 of that year, and in 1991 in America. Although only initially available for rentals, due to the system's cost, it soon became clear that a niche market was available for a highly priced console. In America, the Neo Geo launched at $599, including two game controllers and one of a few select games. Compared to other consoles of the era, particularly the ancient NES, the Neo Geo boasted far more impressive graphics and sound. From a technical viewpoint, the system was powerful enough to remain relevant into the mid 90's, and was only discontinued in 1997. Even then, however, Neo Geo games continued to be made into the 2000's. Although it never became a mainstream system, the Neo Geo grew a legion of devoted fans. One of these fans, Tom Fulp of The Behemoth, would eventually create a website named "Newgrounds" in honor of the Neo Geo.
