What are some of the hidden gems of the Neo Geo?

Post by J T »

I've played through most of the major titles on the NeoGeo:

Nam 1975,
Magician Lord,
King of Fighters series
Art of Fighting series,
Samurai Showdown series,
Metal Slug series,
World Heroes series,
Fatal Fury series,
Sengoku series

I'm wondering what are some of the overlooked gems on the system that I'm missing out on?

I really enjoyed playing CyberLip back in the '90s on an MVS cabinet at the local Air Force Base. I haven't played it since, but what I remember most were the huge boss battles. I recommend it highly.

Ahh! Cool! That's what I was hoping for, but I didn't see a link from the main page of hidden gems.

I actually noticed there's a few guides that I can't navigate to from the "guides" link on the blue bar. I know they exist but I can find them. That being said, is there any NeoGeo CD guides?

If you think of which ones are missing, lemme know.
As for NGCD -- I think the only real mention so far is the Rare & Valuable.

I wish I could, but I really can't even think of any off the top of my head. A "Games That Defined" or "Hidden Gems" for NGCD would be awesome though.
