There have been several. The most recent ones were the Pocket units. I don't
think those had much in common with the original, though.
In the early nineties, the Neo Geo was the Rolls-Royce amongst game consoles.
I remember being offered to buy one when I was shopping for my first computer.
It cost as much as an Amiga, and two or three games would set you back as much
as the cost of the base unit.
It's a great system, though. Probably the best joystick ever seen on a home
system. Not all the analogue twenty-button frills of modern Playstations or
Dreamcasts, but very well-built, with a real arcade feeling.
There have been CD add-ons as well, and in the mid-nineties, there was some
new 64-bit unit IIRC.
I'd really like a cabinet with Puzzle Bobble/Bust a Move. I'm spending too
much money on that game.
The Neo Geo is the only real alternative if you're into sprite-based games.
