In defense of the Neo-Geo ... the reason it was sooo expensive was ... it was an arcade - at home. I can remember thinking it was rather expensive, until I realized it's the same machine at arcades. The games were expensive because they were arcade games. I mean, you could set one up at a store and charge folks!
I will add to the madness:
My top 5 greatest misses (in no particular order)
1. Sony releasing a console without games, tied the PS3 to an unproven HD format, priced at $599 and expecting it to sell like hotcakes - ROTFL
2. CD-I (yeah, I am old enough to remember that ...) and Dragon's Lair
3. The handheld released by the guy that crashed that Enzo Ferrari and is in jail as I type ...
4. Atari's huge gamble on E.T. the game ... pwn3d!!!!!
5. Whoever was responsible for any of these awesome games:
1. Shaq Fu
2. NARC
3. Any Virtual Boy games
4. Any Apple Pippin games
5. Dragon's Lair - CD-I
