Neo-Geo's large ROM capacity enabled unprecedented sprite detail and animation frames compared to contemporaries. Games like Metal Slug showcased hundreds of unique animation states for characters, creating fluid movements that felt cinematic rather than mechanical. This animation quality created personality and charm that made each character memorable despite technical limitations of the era.
