Best unsuccessful system

One more thing, do you guys remember the Neo Geo console?  I remember that one around 1994, it sold at the mall for something like $700 and each game sold for something like $150.  I couldn't believe any company would be crazy enough to charge such outrageous prices.  I knew the system was doomed.

My brother had one of those; it was an insane piece of kit, the cartridges were almost as big as some consoles, and the graphics for a 4th gen system were so far ahead of the competition it was like if the Dreamcast had come out in 1996.

The cost though was astronomical, so it's not surprising it never sold much. It wasn't really a mass market product. Very cool system though.
