I called the Neo Geo hotline (800-800-Neo-Geo) to ask them about a few of
these outrageous claims quoted from one of their ads..

'today's most advanced 4-dimensional graphics, with vivid detail and effects,
65,000 colors and an amazing 15-channel real voice stereo sound track. All
pumped out by 330 meg hardware!'  The guy on the other end was a real scream,
telling me it had 24bit graphics!  The palette is 65,000, onscreen colors are
4096 at once.  We all know that the 330 ain't megaBYTES.  You shoulda heard
him try to explain what 4-dimensional graphics are.. talk about double talk. 

I like the text on the front of this game console the most..

NEO GEO
MAX 330 MEGA
Pro-Gear Spec
Advanced Entertainment System

Too bad there are only 6 games out for this beast, and too bad it costs $600+
It looks pretty nice, but not at the price of a 500!
