Neo Geo CD
The Neo Geo CD is the second home video game console of SNK's Neo Geo family, released in 1994, four years after its cartridge-based equivalent. The unit's 1X CD-ROM drive was slow, with very long loading times, and the system could also play audio CDs. The Neo Geo CD was launched bundled with a control pad, instead of a joystick like the previous AES version. However, the original AES joystick can be used with all three Neo Geo CD models.

The picture shows the top-loader model of the Neo Geo CD system, with a plugged-in controller consisting of an analog stick, four colored buttons, and two buttons labelled "select" and "start". The CD-ROM drive and the power button are visible at the top of the console, with two controller ports at the front.Photograph credit: Evan Amos
