Product Description

Editorial Review

Are you a slot-machine freak? You've got two options. We would recommend that you immediately sniff out a compulsive gambling support group. Of course, you could also pursue your guilty pleasure with this innocent time-killer. NEO Mystery Bonus is a painfully addictive (and incredibly simple) slot game that requires you to line up matching symbols in a row. Period. End of review? Well, OK. There is a bit more to this pocket-sized pleaser.

If you succeed in lining up three question-mark icons in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row, you'll gain access to the special "Mystery Bonus" mode--which is a pretty rare feat, to be sure. It took us several hours of gameplay before we finally hit pay dirt. Once in this special mode, you have to again line up items to score more points. The special mode merely ups the stakes a bit. OK, so we were a bit disappointed in the payoff--but we still find ourselves glued to this gambling game. (Maybe we should consider joining that support group after all?) --Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Simple concept
• Brainless fun
• Cheaper than Vegas

Cons:

• Promised "mystery" isn't much

4.0 out of 5 stars The real mystery is..., November 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Neo Mystery Bonus (Video Game)

What is the deal with this game? It's a mystery to me, but this game is one of my favorites on the NEOGEO. This game is incredibly basic and simple...just a slot machine and bonus card game...but yet I keep coming back for more. I can't get enough of this game. Maybe it is the ever-elusive MYSTERY BONUS that the title teases you with...I just know that some super spectacular thing is going to happen when I line up those three rainbow-proud question marks up in a row...yet, this gratification continues to elude even me..the hopelessly addicted gamer. SOMEDAY I will find the answer to these triple question marks that taunt and tease me. In the meantime, the real mystery remains...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good if you like to gamble., January 3, 2001
