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.

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.
The HNG64 was weaker than Sega's Model 3 but it was on par with Namco and Konami 3D hardware at the time.

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.

It sucks that arcades died in moat parts of the worod, around 2005 I could still find some HNG64 games in some old arcades, but never had enough time to play them, I have yet to try Buriki One
it really does. I mean barcades are becoming a thing but 9/10 of them have the exact same common games
That videos was so exciting to see. What a legendary find to come upon.
