Production of the system was discontinued in 1997, but official production of game cartridges lasted until 2004. The coprocessor was used as a CPU, and for sound processing. The Neo Geo was marketed as 24-bit, though it was technically a parallel processing 16 bit system with an 8-bit Zilog Z80 as coprocessor. The Neo Geo system was also marketed as a very costly home console, commonly referred to today as the AES (Advanced Entertainment System).
Several popular franchise series, including Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown, were released for the platform. With its games stored on self-contained cartridges, a game cabinet could be exchanged for a different game title by swapping the game's ROM-cartridge and cabinet artwork. The MVS (Multi Video System), as the Neo Geo was known to the coin-operated arcade game industry, offered arcade operators the ability to put up to six different arcade titles into a single cabinet, a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace. The original system's hardware featured comparatively colourful 2D graphics. Although it was part of the fourth generation of video game consoles, it was the first system in the Neo Geo family, which ran throughout the 1990s before being revived in December 2012 with the Neo Geo X handheld and home system. The Neo Geo (ネオジオ Neojio?) is a cartridge-based arcade system board and home video game console released on Januby Japanese game company SNK Playmore.
