HG101’s print volumes operate the way a good fanzine operates at a length a fanzine can’t sustain: hundreds of short, opinionated entries, fact-checked, screenshot-rich, written by people who have actually finished the games. The Neo Geo volume is the obvious pick for this archive — a working reference for anything in the SNK / Neo Geo beat — but the Konami Shooters and PC Engine siblings are equally useful when the article calls for them.
