Neo Geo CD

The Neo Geo CD (ネオジオCD, Neo Jio Shī Dī) also called as NeoCD is a home video game console produced by SNK Corporation, released on September 9, 1994. The system is the same platform as the cartridge-based Neo Geo released four years earlier, but converted to the cheaper CD media format which retailed at $49 to 79 per title compared to up to $300 for the equivalent cartridge. The Neo Geo CD was launched with a bundled control pad instead of a joystick like the AES version of the Neo Geo came with; however, the system was compatible with controllers from the AES.
