So I was speaking with a editor that works in the video game industry last night around this Neo Geo question and he told me the following:

PR capitalization like NEOGEO™ or UNCHARTED™ is not something pro writers use.

Neo Geo - would be written as such when talking about the brand name

Neo-Geo - for anything regarding the actual system

NeoGeo - for the NEOGEO Station , since they decided to leave the space out

Found that pretty interesting and wanted to share.

I agree with the non-caps thing. That looks like trash outside of a press release.

This has always confounded me - how do you do the Alt shortcuts on a laptop? I have no problem on my work PC with a keyboard, but without a number pad on laptop I haven't been able to recreate them.

Alt + Fn and then the blue numbers in the middle of the keyboard (mine is MJKLUIO789).

Some laptop keyboards have a Num Lock key and numbers over the left half of the keyboard. You'd just turn on Num Lock then do the Alt Key codes from there.
