I was always in awe of the graphics and was always envious of those who had one (only one boy at my school ever claimed to own one, but we never had any proof) but when I finally had the chance to play the games (via NeoRageX, amazing piece of software, written in assembly I believe) I was kinda disappointed. To begin with I was never a fan of fighting games (SFII being the one exception) and all the games I played were very arcade-y (because well, they were literal arcade games). No NeoGeo game could’ve given me the gaming experience of, say, A Link to the Past for the SNES, I think.

Still an amazing piece of hardware.
