I don't have any memories playing (or seeing) one growing up, but I really do love playing the games now. Metal Slug, Neo Turf Masters, League Bowling, Blazing Star, etc etc.

+ 1 -DittoI never did. I don't ever recall seeing one either.
Yep, this exactly. As some of you other California guys have pointed out, I've really not seen these too much in real arcades, but they seemed to be virtually everywhere else you could throw a cab into. Nearly every low end Mexican restaurant, generic burger joint, pizza place, liquor store, ice hockey rink, and laundromat had one. It's like there was a rule where they required most of the shops here in the L.A. area to have at least 1 Neo Geo cab in the 90s-early 00s. This is likely why they don't seem too expensive around these parts...Seen a lot of these in 7-11's in SoCal and I did play the hell outta Puzzle Bobble. There was a last gasp
of Multi-game Neo Geo cabinets (Mostly 2-4 game) as they started to fade from places like restaurants
and laundromats.
I'd wager that the voting corresponds pretty closely to age. It's funny to me how many players hardly remember playing (or even seeing) them, but then again I dropped off arcades for a bit in the late 90s. It makes sense that some players lost track of arcades for a bit in the early 90s too.
It really held its own against the consoles of its time, and everyone I knew would've killed to have the AES BITD.
