Support NeoGAF

and you thought hardware was made by engineers! No...it's born lolol.

Mr Geo took a trip to Taiwan for business in the 90s and met someone...and out came the PGM...Neo Geo's half brother!

But all joking aside, the IGS PGM ad the Neo Geo share like 95% of the same DNA hardware wise and stylistically as well. It's hard to believe that the games on PGM aren't just running on a Neo Geo. It's some real bizarro world stuff. But even if it isn't a Neo Geo the PGM has some of the best arcade games around on it...and nobody seems to realize this. Especially all the CAVE shmups...one of the few places you can get CAVE games still that won't cost you multiple thousands of dollars to pop a game in a cabinet and play it.

It's a fun hardware overview of this sadly obscure platform that more people need to know about. Curious who else here is into PGM stuff or has played any of the games? Cause I know I am NOT the only one?

Ketsui is such a wonderful game

Thanks for making these. I always look forward to watching your videos when I look at my sublist and you have new content!

Happy to do it! I always hope someone will discover a new fav game or piece of hardware they didn't know exited before

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Interesting stuff, thanks!

Holy shit $20?

I've never played the game but it sounds awesome. Is there another soundtrack from SNK Sound Team that you like better than this you could suggest?

A bit off topic

So posting a self made video on youtube (also with patron link in within that video description) does not count of self promotion, right?

I'm still new to GAF

 

[Kuranghi]

BUY IT

Sounds good, I'm tempted to preorder King of Fighters 95' as well, but maybe should just get more film soundtracks I've been wanting for ages.

Oh, or maybe this:

Gaf accounts for 0.6% of my monthly traffic...which is to say non-beneficial lol

I pop in from time to time with esoteric games / rare hardware / beta and unreleased game dumps...mostly because I get to talk about this obscure stuff I love with like minded people. Plus with beta / unreleased game dumps / source code preservation...it gets more people into that specifically.

But trust me...I don't get rich from this. I lose $$ on every video I make. I'll get probably $15-20 from this video in total...factor in shooting time / editing time / voice over time...probably 4 hours...so $5 an hour.

Cost of what's on screen? A lot more

some videos cost me hundreds to make for the minimal revenue...so it's very upside down

Just put some big titties in your thumbnails.
You can thank me later.

I thought I was supposed to put selfies with my mouth agape in awe at what I was talking about? (something I will NEVER do)

Is it a clone or licensed? Will watch the vid later.

I sold all my film vinyl soundtracks a year ago. I had so many and the value had gone crazy so I cut and run

I have Persona 5 Essential Collection (2nd print) and I'm not sure if I should just sell it or keep it.

 

[baphomet]

The pgm is actually pretty awesome even though it's got a fairly small library. I've got all the "big" ones like Demon Front, DoDonPachi Bee Storm, Martial Masters, Gladiator, etc. Also have all those Cave conversions.

I'd like to see a pgm flash cart honestly.

Yep. I mean it was a friends deal but if you just want to pay eBay prices right now you can get one for $40-50 depending on timing

I'd wait for gal algiese's spoken word album

Hmm...I say sell but that’s me

I guess that depends how it's done (put the emphasis on content and don't overdo it... I'm no mod, so ask them for the details).

Some really good titles, Demon front is a poor mans metal slug, not a bad effort. Some really good hack n slash and beat'em ups too. Very under rated library. the 2nd and third systems didn't do much for me. But the PGM is up there with the NEO and CPS2.

 

[marquimvfs]

Saw one once here in Brazil, but the machine was turned off and it hadn't any cartridge in, so I just assumed it was some Neo Geo counterfeit. It was in an client's arcade where I used to fix some boards, if I only knew it...

I wouldn’t call Demon Front a poor mans Slug. I’d call it a extremely good homage. It is clearly wearing its inspiration on its sleeve...but it’s also a damn good game that is pretty AF

But yes PGM gets worse at PGM 2 and non essential at PGM 3
