The Neo Geo was marketed as 24-bit; its CPU is technically a 16\/32-bit 68000-based system with an 8\/16-bit Z80 coprocessor, while its GPU chipset has a 24-bit graphics data bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neo Geo originally launched as the MVS (Multi Video System) coin-operated arcade machine. The MVS offers owners the ability to put up to six different cartridges into a single cabinet, a unique feature that was also a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace, as well as saving money in the long-run. With its games stored on self-contained cartridges, a game cabinet can be exchanged for a different game title by swapping the game's ROM cartridge and cabinet artwork. A home console version was also made, called AES (Advanced Entertainment System). It was originally launched as a rental console for video game stores in Japan (called Neo Geo Rental System), with its high price causing SNK not to release it for home use – this was later reversed due to high demand, and it came into the market as a luxury console. The AES had the same raw specs as the MVS and had full compatibility, thus managing to bring a true arcade experience to home users. The Neo Geo was revived along with the brand overall in December 2012 through the introduction of the Neo Geo X handheld and home system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retronation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55570215796809,"sku":"NEO-0","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/1494\/9449\/files\/20260430_125205.jpg?v=1777557986","url":"https:\/\/retronationgames.com\/products\/neo-geo-aes-boxed","provider":"Retronation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
