Someone who's never owned one saying it sucks,priceless. If you said you actually owned one,Id say your opinion has merit,but since it doesn't,Kits should ignore you. He shopuld only be taking the opinions of people who owned one (good or bad) seriously.
You are such an antagonistic mother f*cker. Coming from me, that means something.
Why the hell do I have to have owned one? I've played every SGX game that they made, what's more I actually played them pre-PS1 so I experienced them in the 2D age and had a realistic mindset of what to expect. The fact that I didn't waste $600 f*cking dollars on the thing is actually good, IMO, since I've known it to be far more of a bias to own something. That is, people that waste money on stupid shit talk themselves into liking it more than they really should, when someone who has nothing invested can be much more realistic. Example, I know a guy that bought the original SvC Chaos as a $1400 JAMMA board (originally not released as an MVS cart, but rather a stand alone PCB) and he insisted it was a good game, much better than CvS2. He probably still thinks this is the case, because he's probably still paying off his credit card. I'm not the biggest fan of CvS2, but everyone understands that Chaos was a flop on every level. Basically a resurrected project that someone in Korea found on a hard drive after the SNK meltdown.
The SGX sucks. While its a cheap thing to own know, its still impractically expensive for someone's first PCE system. It was poorly (stupidly) designed, and even NEC saw this and ditched it almost instantly deciding instead to develop other PCE systems...like the Duo R, which is what I recommend.
As I said, I'd like to own one, but its a crap choice for a someone who has never owned an actual piece of NEC hardware before when he could be playing SCDs that are twice as good and cost half as much on a Duo.
