It is not about how you connect them physically, but how you configure them.
 
A router, by definition, separates 2 or more networks. What you need to do is to configure one of them as a bridge.

The Neo Geo AES was $649 upon it's US release in 1991, that's about $1000 if you account for inflation from then to today.  It was stupid CRAZY powerful, identical to the Neo Geo MVS arcade hardware.  ...Yeah, that didn't sell well either.
