That is a great material and has some wisdom too like:

"As a general rule, the most important thing to remember is to give a good play value without resorting to shock tactics. Comedy in good taste is a very good method to add gaming value to any game. If the whole family can laugh together at a game with a sense of humor, it provided a more enjoyable experience without being offensive. " page. 106 (guidelines).

I was too poor for having Neo Geo at home but I played it on arcades.

Same here. Never could afford one.

I recall playing a side-scrolling arcade RPG put out by Neo-Geo sometime in the late '80s/early '90s. From what I remember there was leveling and different classes of characters ( fighter, mage, etc ). It was something like Golden Axe, but a lot more detailed. Tried to find it later but never had any luck.

Possibly Crossed Swords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H485or8VOC8

Or Sengoku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZqBgAQak64

Or also possibly Dungeons and Dragons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8alVk4Zi5A0

D&D was by Capcom on the CPS2, a competitor to the Neo Geo.

Another Capcom game that fits the general description is The King of Dragons (1991, CPS1 hardware).

Are you sure it was by SNK (Neo-Geo) and not Capcom? Capcom had a bunch of games out at that time that fit your description (The King of Dragons and a couple of licensed D&D games come to mind).
