ESSENTIAL GAME

Neo Drift Out: New Technology

This arcade racer is a perfect example of how the Neo Geo has more to offer than just fighting games, despite its reputation. The fast, furious rally action takes place across a variety of terrain types and beating the clock really requires you to master the alternate routes available. This game wasn’t released for Neo Geo AES, so the CD release is the only official home version of this great game and thanks to licensing concerns over the inclusion of real rally cars, it’s very likely that there will never be another. Plus, the loading times aren’t too bad at all.
