NeoGeo has a pretty damn vast library, I think with the fighting games you may be thinking of CPS2? (All the X-men VS street fighter, marvel vs capcom type games)
NeoGeo actually only has a few well known fighting series, mostly Samurai Showdown and the King of Fighters series, but there are so many basically unknown fun coop games. Especially platform shooters and beat em ups. I recommend trying out some random roms, you may find some gems.
I like how NeoGeo arcade is easy to emu with stuff like NeoRageX, you don’t have to update roms like with mame
And you can switch from actual arcade coin mode to console mode with lives etc. it would be an awesome system to have but I recall something like $600 and $200 per game due to it basically being a mini arcade
I’m gonna check out my rom collection today prolly and recommend some good neogeo games
Btw, as far as mega man: I played 2 and 3 as a kid, eventually got most of the NES mega man games. I never beat any of them, but got far in some. I remember MM2 was really tough, and when you beat all the bosses you’d have to fight them again in some impossible End game levels.
On the other hand, I love how much fun Mega Man X and sequels are

All I can say is you're missing a large portion of action platforming history, sir. I can also understand why many people don't willingly subject themselves to the level of challenge those classic NES titles offer; it's not something made for this modern world LOL.

Holy shit, you don’t like Mega Man, Metroid, or Castlevania? Def stay away from Symphony of the Night, one of the “worst games ever” 
It uses the exact combined formula from the games that you don’t like, lol. But it’s known as a AAA classic, and I’d say it’s the best Castlevania, maybe even one of the best 2D platformers I can think of. Esp if you like rpg mechanics thrown in

Agreed! The GBA ones are good too, they follow the same MetroidVania structure, maybe even have more features. But SOTN is just fucking amazing.
Anyone ever play Salt and Sanctuary? It’s an indie ps4 game (maybe other platforms too). It’s a lot like SOTN with Dark Souls mixed together. Just a fucking amazing game, better than a lot of AAA 3D games

Dude the GBA Castlevania titles were why I got the GBA at launch, lol. Circle of The Moon, etc. Classics! I LOVE that style of gameplay. So satisfying! Super Metroid is timeless and untouchable as well IMHO!

I would never play a modern game at all!
The only modern games that I play, are the ones made in the old 8, and 16-bit style graphics.
I pretty much only play the emulators of all the good old systems, like the PC-Engine, the Genesis, the Super NES, NES, Master System, etc.
New games just don't cut it for me, they are all about flashy graphics, but aren't any fun.
Plus, I don't like playing games where you have to use so many damn buttons!
Metroidvania, and to a lesser extent, platformers, are the only genre all even touch now days, and nothing more.
This is what I'm trying to beat now.

I'm necro bumping this thread because I don't care, I'm a veteran 
But no, I did not miss out, because I played them... Just never liked them, still don't.
I find platformers to be pretty lame, Mario games are an exception... And brace yourselves, I actually liked 'Bubsy' too, the the 2d ones anyway.
Once a game goes platformer/jump puzzley though, I tend to nope out pretty quick.. It killed doom eternity for me, and far cry 3, amongst some others.
There's one that is insanely popular right now that I gave an honest chance, lots of 10/10 ratings and shit, but I hated it... I really tried to like it, but couldn't... Trying to remember the name of it, but can't remember for for the life of me, even though it's on the tip of my tongue lol
You'e a skeleton of some sort and the 2d levels are proceduraly generated.. I fucking hated it

Playing through Diablo 1 for the first time on PS1. Do you have to restart the game with your character to get strong enough to beat the game? Im about to kill the butcher but didn't manage to find a firewall book. Just a single scroll. Think that might be enough to kill him?

I've killed butcher with some weaksauce builds on PC. Generally if you're looking for a spell at the beginning of the game you just reload it over and over till Adria sells what you want (she resets inventory on reload and on exiting dugeon)

Ever since I got a galaxy s10 I have been running all my emulators on it 
I love being able to Bluetooth my ps4 controller to them as well....never would have thought that would be a thing when I was a kid
