Neo Geo (1990)

SNK’s Neo Geo was one of the most powerful systems at the time of its release in 1990. As well it should have been, seeing as it was essentially a take-home version of an actual coin-operated arcade machine. Its one downside? Its $650 price tag, which adjusted for inflation would have been the equivalent of around $1125. So, you know, not one of those built for middle-class households.
