The home console was cross-compatible with the arcade cabinet versions (the MVS) with an adapter that is only further encouraged by the ability of a memory card that you could take from home straight to the arcade to show off over how its done. Although expensive (like, genuinely pricey) the AES blew the minds of gamers everywhere by allowing the full arcade experience (minus the smells of sweat and cigarettes, or the background buzz of a bunch of cabinets in close proximity) with its full 24-bit excellence (technically it may have not been 24-bit but you know, more on that later).

Bigger, badder, better - the console where you needed a pair of these to play one of these! It was far from cheap and holds its price to this day.
