Samurai Shodown 64 - Hyper Neo Geo 64 Prototype
- Thread starter Rumenapp
- Start date
Nice, this is a conversion of the arcade or a port of the hyper neo geo 64 (or something of the sort)? We never got cool stuff in Spain...

That IS the arcade board, run through a supergun setup to play on a TV.
The Hyper Neo Geo 64 is such a weird machine. It was too little too late, it could have competed a few years earlier but it was just too weak. It's too bad they never tried a 2D game on it, theoretically it could have had amazing games.

Watching this, I forgot how fast games used to be able to boot
Granted I've never seen an arcade game boot on HW before

Really love to see stuff like this, video game industry is really barebones when it comes to preserving history. With this, and the recent videos about Dinosaur Planet, it's just great to see.
If anyone has any suggestions of channels like this one, or anything that focuses on video game history it would be nice to share! I never have enough of these videos.

Hard4Games is legit. Weird name but they do cool preservation stuff too
its 91% isopropyl alcohol. Alternatively I could have used white vinegar or baking soda and water. Both neutralize rust
Awesome discovery. I remember desperately wanting to play any HNG64 game at that time but no arcade close to me ordered any. Really cool to see some preservation of it.
The HNG64 was weaker than Sega's Model 3 but it was on par with Namco and Konami 3D hardware at the time.
EDIT: Amazing that VGEsoterica got his hands on a unique prototype.

yes I'd say that's about correct. It's hard with the Hyper because they chose a texture filtering method which shows pixels...so people view it as "not as good" visually
but watch something like Beast Busters Second Nightmare and the Hyper throws around a ton of polygons on screen at once at 60fps and looks legit good
sadly they really didn't get very good distribution outside of Japan. The only cabinet I saw back in the day was Beast Busters : Second Nightmare. Played it at a hotel in Vail, CO when I was at the US Freeskiing open
interestingly basically every ad and preview for the game are wholly comprised of HUD elements not in the final game too
if people want to see the gameplay and hear the story of where it came from

it really does. I mean barcades are becoming a thing but 9/10 of them have the exact same common games

So that's what happened to Video Connection, I was wondering what happened to them. I bought many boards from them, including a Hyper Neo Geo 64 v1 board from them back in the day...
yeah it seems people know the name. I'm from the east coast originally so this is the first I've heard it but they seem to have been a decently big arcade vendor back then
