Neo-Geo!!
Hard to believe looking at this thing, turned off in the corner that years ago they cost silly money!
I never ever played one as they were just too expensive for any one to own one.
What were they like?

Great times, they were the one we all lusted after back in the day, a chap at work has one apparently.
Back then you went to an amusement arcade to see the best graphics possible, the Neo brought that into your house (at a price).
Now those arcade graphics look a bit poo compared with the home consoles
Have a look around http://www.neo-geo.com

Dont think I ever even saw one in the shops or any games on the shelves though.

I only ever saw one in a shop in Leeds, I lusted after them in the magazines though - "Screenshot shown is from Neo Geo" and then the version of the game you got was more like Pong

Re: Spotted A Sorry Sad Looking Arcade Machine Earlier
Can I stream TV to my 360?
Sometimes I can get football matches on my PC - is it possible to do that on the 360?

not sure about that, the original xbox had an app that loaded tv streams directly from the net, the 360 would have to stream the image from wmp11 whilst it streams if from the net
