Probably bad from, but I'm going to reply to this a second time with some
news I found out last night.
http://www.neo-geo.com/ is a site dedicated to all things Neo Geo (best
site I've been able to find btw). On their front page they have the
following news items that indicate SNK is still around as of a couple weeks
ago.
6/29/01 A reproduction of Metal Slug 3 home carts is under
consideration by SNK.
6/06/01 Sengoku 3 released for MVS in limited quantities.
The game weighs in _at_396 megs.
In other news I'm finally having some luck on finding a Neo Geo cabinet.
One of the local arcade chains has some, including a couple with
"Metal Slug 3", the current value of MS3 makes those two machines worth
what they want the others (except one) aren't really worth what they want.
MS3 is one of the games on the top of my list that I want.
