The Neo Geo CD was SNK’s attempt to make arcade perfect gaming more affordable to the masses. Although pocket-priced, the console’s ports of AES and MVS classics such as Metal Slug and King of Fighters 98 came with a slight downside – longer loading times. One positive to the system though was its small selection of exclusive releases including Crossed Swords 2, a title which has just been unofficially adapted to run on the cartridge based consoles instead, with a physical release on the way.
