"Neo Geo CD (Japanese: \u30CD\u30AA\u30B8\u30AACD, Hepburn: Neo Jio Sh\u012B D\u012B) is the second home video game console of SNK's Neo Geo family, released in September 1994, four years after its cartridge-based equivalent. This is the same platform, converted to the cheaper CD format retailing at $49 to $79 per title, compared to the $300 cartridges. The system was originally priced at US$399, or \u00A3399 in the UK. The unit's 1X CD-ROM drive is slow, with very long loading times of up to 56 Mbit of data per load."@en . . . . "Neo Geo CD"@en . . . .
