Saturn was not an overly sizeable threat during 3DO's run in the states w/it's early botched launch, high price tag & small and spotty library. I know Japan was a killer, but 3DO was done by the time Sega hit their groove here. PSX didn't have near as many growing pains ... sad news for 3DO fans. :...

Having had to send back my 360 twice in a little over 3 years I know about its lack of reliability. That being said in my opinion taking into account its recent price I think the 360 is worth it. Sure I hate to be without my system for a while, but its the only way I get to play notable exclusives l...

It looks like my 360 is on its way back, quick turn around by MS. My 3DO has become a favorite in my household though. Family games like Twisted and to some extent Return Fire have become a hit with my family. I'm still playing Bladeforce also, I never did get to complete the game when I had my orig...

No, identity wasn't really an issue. It was PRICE that killed it. I totally agree. Everyone who played my 3DO loved it. They just could not afford it. They did lower the price, but by then the market was flooded with 32/64bit machines (Saturn/PS1/and to some extent Jaguar). Had they released the un...

Congrats on the new purchase. I would like to recommend some of the better titles that come to mind. Gex, Shockwave, Twisted, Crash-n-Burn, Total Eclipse, Samurai Shodown, Return Fire, Bladeforce, and Killing Time. Also I have an extra controller, works fine. If you need it I can let it go for a sma...

Well I just sent off my Xbox 360 for the second time in 3 years for repair. I'm getting the infamous RROD error. Anyway with the 360 gone I ve been doing a lot of gaming on the 3DO. I've been clocking a lot of hours on Bladeforce, Shockwave, and Return Fire. These games rock! if only Panasonic would...

I also agree that people tend to bash or criticize what they don't understand. Also I may be in the minority here, but I actually preferred the 3DO library of games compared to Saturn or Playstation. Games like Twisted, Gex, and Super Wing Commander III were revolutionary. To this day there are no b...

3DO finally arrived. Some questions
Hey folks my 3do player finally arrived and looks great. The system looks great with no visable signs of wear. I also got the light gun, wireless controllers, and about 2 dozen titles. Question, I notice some of the games seem a little pixelated. For example Crash-n-Burn looks really pixelated. Am I...

I'm a collector of a lot of platforms, but I've always had a soft spot for 3DO. I look forward to interacting with you guys in the coming days. I'm e...

Can someone recommend some import titles
Hey all, I was a big 3DO fan back in the day and as a 2nd time 3DO owner I am starting a new collection. I am very familiar with the domestic releases, but unfamiliar with imports. Can someone recommend some import titles that I should become familiar with. Thanks.

The jump from 16bit to 32bit (3DO) was the biggest most noticeable improvement in my video gaming life. Games like Crash-n-Burn. Road Rash and Twisted brought a new level of game play and immersion. Some of the games that brought the biggest smiles to my face are: Road Rash - an amazing fast paced r...

A few outstanding titles on that list. I also remember having Mortal Kombat pre-ordered. I'll say it again, 3DO had the best library between the 32bit machines. I still can not believe Panasonic pulled the plug on M2. HD DVD is another technology that in my opinion is superior to the competition and...

That being said I think the 3DO may have the best SF port. WOTW struck while the iron was hot, this was a time when digitized ch...

Twisted is a game that is very unique to the 3DO - I've never seen anything like it on any other platform. The game is a complete riot - naturally being a party game, the more players you have the merrier. The mini game challenges are unique, entertaining, and well balanced. Like I said already, thi...

For the 2600 I would recommend Vanguard - plenty of explosions, great visuals (plenty of color), and the action was non-stop. Easily one of the best games ever released for the platorm.
