The Z80 is an 8bit CPU designed by Zilog.
All NeoGeo systems use it as a coprocessor to handle "tracker music" playback. It only has access to the YM2610, M1 ROM, Z80 files, and its RAM.
Since it doesn't share any memory area with the 68k as on the Sega Genesis, it can't be used efficiently to perform gameplay-related tasks.
See Z80 memory map.
