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).
