Neo Geo is the REAL DEAL

[Joe Redifer]

MPEG2 = ewwwwww.   Definitely a RAW DEAL.

[MissaFX]

With a 32GB memorystick pro duo on the horizon, I think the PSP is the REAL DEAL.  With the largest game around 3GB (2 discs) you could store no less than 10 games and probably closer to 40-60 non shrunk/ripped games on a single card + emulators and homebrew and other crap all in the palm of your hand, ohmy!

The PSP is the REAL DEAL.  It's better than the datapads in ST:tNG

No way. The PADD pwns the PSP.

[MissaFX]

No way. The PADD pwns the PSP.

I don't even think the PADD has the ability to play mp3s.

[Joe Redifer]

Why the fck would they need to play MP3s 400 years from now?  They have the god damn holodeck.  Once you have a holodeck you don't give a crap about no MP3s.

But what if you need tunes on the go?  Apple will fill that void with the iHolo.

[Joe Redifer]

You don't need to go anywhere when you have a god damn holodeck!

[MissaFX]

You don't need to go anywhere when you have a god damn holodeck!

Except when the holodeck tries to kill you, then you need to go anywhere else, post haste Taipan!

[Joe Redifer]

No, that's when you say "Computer, generate top-notch Holodeck technician!" and then you have that guy fix the Holodeck and it is back to doing your bidding again.

Damn you, Professor Moriarty!  Absolute best episodes, I say.

I'm fairly sure that command is forbidden, otherwise the holodeck would become self aware, take over the ship, and try to breed with other ships. then the Federation is overrun with holodeck-ships, and everyone gets raped by the borg.

Man, it just goes to show how back in the day the console wars had alot more passion.  I don't think the companies nowadays would send out such a letter.

[nat]

Really? I guess the letter I got from Microsoft claiming the XBOX 360 is "TEH R3AL D3AL" and denouncing the Wii and PS3 was a fake then.

lol. Yeah, the fanboy syndrome has really gotten worse with age.

I agree with this 100%, Ice! The millenium sucks.

I've been perplexed as of late as to why there have been as many as 35 guests online at the same time, all viewing this thread.

That is, until I stumbled upon this:

As if that weren't enough, a quick Google also turned up:

It appears Joe Redifer has turned into an overnight celebrity.

[Joe Redifer]

Ha!  I am amazed that this hasn't worked its way over to the Neo Geo.com forums.  You KNOW that they know who this guy is.  They probably have several forums and a shrine on the site dedicated to him.  They may even sell autographed pictures of him.

I can't believe I didn't see this thread sooner!

Joe, thanks for posting the letter. Awesome.

SNK was brilliant when they (unknowingly, perhaps) allowed Chad to perform his duties in such a professional manner.

How refreshing. If only this happened more often. The world would be a happier place.

1. Chad gives us the real deal on Alpha Denshi. I find it astounding that Chad admits to any weaknesses (however slight) concerning NEO GEO's developers... couldn't he have found a way to sugar-coat this a bit further? At least Chad suggests that Alpha Denshi, being mere mortals, were simply overwhelmed by the infinite power that lay before them.

2. You can't help but grin at Chad's dig at Altered Beast and the rental policies of Sega and Nintendo.

3. "Most Sega fans do not find my points valid." Most TurboGrafx-CD fans, on the other hand...

4. I'm a little bummed that Chad doesn't like TurboGrafx-CD. At the close of the letter, he's willing to make a disclaimer about how he actually likes the Genesis, but he doesn't make a similar disclaimer for his comments on the TG-CD. Damn.

5. I would have loved to have Chad's job at SNK.

And Hello, visitors! sign up and chat a while. We don't bite. *

[Joe Redifer]

Yes we do.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I don't bite, I punch; ask your mom.

[Sinistron]

What lovely teeth we have
