Later arcade system boards, including SNK's Neo-Geo, Capcom's CPS-2, and Sega's NAOMI, separated the system board from the game itself, akin to a home video game console and cartridge.

The ease and value of switching out games also led to brand loyalty, as owners of system board X would be much more likely to buy the latest X game for $1000 than to fork over $5000 for system board Y to run the latest Y game, or incorporated system board and game Z. “SNK” redirects here. ...
