Neo Geo CDZ system
Neo Geo CDZ主机
The Neo Geo CDZ is a home console system released by SNK in 1996, designed as an upgraded version of the Neo Geo CD with a significantly faster CD-ROM drive to reduce lengthy loading times. Rather than a standalone game, it is a hardware platform that plays the same CD-format titles as its predecessor. The CDZ uses a double-speed drive compared to the original Neo Geo CD's single-speed unit, cutting load times considerably. It connects to a standard television and uses the same six-button controllers as other Neo Geo systems. The console was released exclusively in Japan and supports the full Neo Geo CD software library, spanning fighting, action, shooting, and sports genres from SNK and third-party developers.
