What is this? A set of Neo Geo game soundtracks?

Looks awesome!

It's a collection of gameplay footage and strategies "Super plays" on laserdisc for Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and World Heroes. It comes in a Neo-Geo style box with art book and three soundtrack CDs.

Neo Geo and laserdiscs combined, that’s too amazing! Could have never imagined such a thing!

I'm gonna blow your mind now and tell you there were several Neo Geo laserdiscs back in the day.

I haven’t seen any besides OP’s , is there a list documented somewhere? Would be nice to check it, as this is very interesting and niche history of the Neo Geo.

Scitron published most of the Neo Geo stuff: https://share.google/xDSf7HWZJ7lebzMRn.

Here are the King of Fighters releases I also own: https://www.reddit.com/r/LaserDisc/s/IxDCd55U5U.

Some of them have been archived and can be watched here: https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22SNK%2C+Scitron%2C+Pony+Canyon%22.

There may be others, but that is a list of all of Scitron's releases. There were a lot of these video game laserdiscs for both arcade and home systems.

Damn, those are huge lists! I checked on eBay and there are indeed laserdiscs about games like Fatal Fury 2.

But this is a bit confusing. Are these soundtracks of the games with video sequences from the games themselves? Gameplays?

May sound ignorant but this is too exotic to me, apologies.

Actually I just read about it but still a bit unsure: these laserdiscs have actual perfect gameplays in video format. So these were some sort of walkthroughs to master the Neo Geo games!

They are generally gameplay footage, tips, combos, etc. not actual walkthroughs. Some have making of, behind the scenes, soundtracks, etc But, most of them are general gameplay, "super plays", and the like.

Thanks, it is much clearer to me now. Never thought of such an usage of laserdiscs. The world never stops to amaze me, and in this particular case, Neo Geo just became much cooler!
