Sidebar - Neo Geo CD - King of Fighters 99 (December 1999)

I included the Neo Geo in the original Closing Time so I might as well include the even-less mainstream Neo Geo CD here. It has the largest game library of any system on this page, OK I guess if I bothered to count I'd probably find that the Odyssey2 has the most games but the Neo Geo CD certainly has the best games of all these systems. Despite this, it was an extremely obscure console in the US. Only the most hardcore SNK fans owned it.

The Neo Geo CD didn't have the longevity of it's cartridge based counterpart. While the Neo Geo would live on for another five years, King of Fighters 1999 marked the end of SNKs CD experiment.
