Welcome, traveler, to the heavyweight wing of our museum—where SNK’s Neo Geo CD sits like a monument to ambition. This wasn’t just a console; it was an arcade cab shrunk for your living room, complete with the drama, the glory, and the loading screens you could make coffee during.
About the console
Released in 1994, the Neo Geo CD was SNK’s stylish successor to its cartridge titan, aiming to bring arcade-quality games to more players through the humble compact disc. And this early model, the CD-T01 front-loader, carries that classic ‘90s engineering charm—solid, heavy, and undeniably cool.
This particular unit is boxed, with matching serial numbers on the console, instruction manual, and outer box—something collectors dream about. It includes one official controller, the original AC adapter, and cables, all tested and working.
Condition & contents
Used. Tested and working. Compatible with NTSC-J (Japan region) games. The serial numbers on the console, instruction manual, and outer box all match. One controller is included.
The console and the single controller show light scuffs and minor scratches from normal use but remain in good overall condition. The instruction manual, official AC adapter, and cables are included.
The protective styrofoam insert for the console has scratches. The styrofoam insert for the controller is missing. The retail box shows noticeable wear, including scuffs, corner wear, scratches, creases, small tears, peeling, and stains/marks.
Please review the photos for the exact contents and condition.
Collector’s note
A genuine NTSC-J model with matching serials, cleaned, tested, and ready to load classics like Metal Slug, Samurai Spirits, or King of Fighters ’95. Every start-up sound still feels like the opening of an SNK opera.
