I plunked sooooo many quarters down to play Crossed Swords as a kid. I've always avoided replaying it though even after emulation became a viable option. I have this nagging feeling it that it really wasn't very good and don't want to ruin the memories.
Smart move. I made the mistake of playing adventure island now that I'm old. Totally not fun. :\
Wait adventure island wasn't amazing? Oh man...
The Neo Geo was far out of my price range during its time. I'm surprised so many people actually owned them. Most of my Neo Geo exposure was from the arcade versions.
