No Quarter Required: Humble NEOGEO Mobile Bundle Debuts

Man, how times have changed.

For those of you old enough to remember the original Reebok Pump, or the six weeks in which it was still cool to like Vanilla Ice, you probably have some very specific memories of the NEOGEO. You didn’t own one, mind you — the pricing was absurd. Games started at $200 and went up from there. But your local arcade probably had a machine, and quarter after quarter, you found yourself playing games like Metal Slug and King of Monsters.

But in 2015, things are much cheaper. You can now get 8 NEOGEO classics for less than five dollars, and you can put them in your pocket. (And yes, there’s the promise of more to come).

The latest Humble Bundle for Android gamers is now live, and while my heart weeps for the lack of King of Monsters and Baseball Stars, fans of their more popular franchises will be tickled pink by the current offering.

Pay what you want and get:

• Garou: Mark of the Wolves
• Blazing Star
• King of Fighters ’97
• Metal Slug 2
• Metal Slug X

Beat the average and get:

• Fatal Fury Special
• Samurai Showdown II
• Metal Slug 3

The Humble NEOGEO Mobile Bundle is available only until August 3.
