To be fair, the Amiga 500 does not include 2 arcade-quality, 4-button
joysticks and a multi-megabyte game cartridge.  The Neo-Geo by itself lists
for $399.  My spec sheet says: 14 MHz 68000 CPU, 320 x 224 resolution, 4096
colors on-screen from a 65,536-color palette, 380 sprites, sprite size is
programmable, 15-voice sound (7 of which are dedicated to speech), ability to
network multiple units, and accepts cartridges of up to 330 Mbits.  Currently
the largest cartridge is 62 Mbits.  I have seen 14 cartridges, which range in
price from $199-$209!  Has RGB output in addition to composite output.  
The Neo-Geo is available for sale/rent in my area.
