The cabinet also had Metal Slug 5 from what I remember, but I never got the hang of it. Might revisit it someday? Well, the game that is. The eatery closed years ago.
But yeah, if I ever get a Neo-Geo cabinet it would definitely be something to stuff just Puzzle Bobble on. And I know it's supposed to be "Bust-A-Move" in the west, but I sorta don't like calling it that. It isn't a dance game of any sorts, not even remotely. What kind of doobies Taito was on to name it that when it got localized?
Yeah puzzle bobble was fun... that and Money Idol Exchange were strangely addictive... Neo Bomberman was fun, but too easy imo.
I Didn't realise they had soooo many Metal Slugs o.0! I remember the ports coming out on PS1, but Metal Slug 3 was the hype about the time I switched to other consoles and never got to play it :(. '3D' really killed the 16-bit era, neogeo was definately the 16-bit overlord though!

Just beeing wasting some of the evening watching neogeo videos on youtube. Nostalgia is strong right now! Shock troopers wasn't a platformer, I think I got that confused with Top Hunter (was thinking about something else I think...it's been 20 years since I have been near a neogeo game tbh). Shock Troopers was good too though, especially if you are an Ikari Warrior/Commando fan.
