Stone Age Gamer now has stock of a few Neo Geo Homebrew games that have recently been released. The games are Xeno Crisis, Captain Barrel, Project Neon (AES), Project Neon (MVS) and Cyborg Force. They also have many other versions of Xeno Crisis in stock for other platforms as well. All games are AES cartridges, except Project Neon, which has both AES and MVS versions in stock. If you’re a fan of owning physical media for Neo Geo hardware, just click on any of the above links to purchase!
Each of these games offer a fun and different style of gameplay. Xeno Crisis is a SmashTV-styled game and is the most widely known of them, as it’s been out for a long time on multiple platforms. Captain Barrel is an “action puzzler”, where each level is contained in a single room. Project Neon is one of only two vertical shooters to be released on the Neo Geo and seems like a fun shmup. And Cyborg Force is a run & gun action platformer in the style of Contra or Metal Slug.
Prices of these games range from $450 to $500, but it’s really important to know these are “expensive”, not “overpriced”. It takes a lot of hardware to make these physical games and they all come as complete in box packages. I guess if you’re used to collecting new retro releases for consoles like the NES and Genesis, there might be some sticker shock, but Neo Geo collectors probably call these a bargain ;p
