 The '''[[gametech:Neo-Geo|Neo Geo MVS]]''' (Multi Video System) arcade system was first released by [[wikipedia:SNK|SNK Corporation]] on January 1990 in Japan and on August 22, 1990 in NA. The '''[[wikipedia:Neo_Geo_(system)|Neo Geo AES]]''' (Advanced Entertainment System) home console was released on July 1, 1991. MVS and AES are technically the same systems, but their cartridges are not compatible with each other due to a different layout. The AES was retailed for <abbr title="$1,244.85 in 2018 money">${{Inflation|USD|649.99</abbr>|1991}}. It had a Motorola 68000 at 12MHz and a Zilog Z80A at 4MHz with 64KB RAM and 84KB VRAM.
'''[[wikipedia:Neo_Geo_CD|Neo Geo CD]]''' (NG-CD) was the CD version of the AES (not compatible with the game cartridges) released in January of '96 and <abbr title="$651.32 in 2018 money">$399</abbr>. It had a Motorola 68000 CPU at 12 MHz with another CPU that being a Zilog Z80 at 4 MHz. It had 7MB of RAM.
