Why the Omega Entertainment Machine Is Awesome
Neo Geo. SNK. These words carry the power to transport you back to a bygone age. The days when Arcade was king. For the uninitiated, the name may not be instantly recognizable, but odds are you’ve played at least one or two Neo Geo games, and you most likely loved every minute of it. Metal Slug. Bust-A-Move. Samurai Shodown. The King of Fighters. Fatal Fury. From across the arcade, the beautiful red cabinet would call out to your quarters. Unfortunately, we now have to admit something to ourselves; It’s 2013. The arcade scene is dead. Your local pizza shop doesn’t have that old Neo Geo cabinet anymore. Your local pizza shop probably doesn’t have any arcade cabinets anymore. So what’s one to do when they wake up in the morning with an irresistible itch to play a round (Or two... or ten) of Windjammers? Well, the folks over at Arcade Works have a solution. And a beautiful solution it is.
