3DO ZONE Forums

Anybody know anything about MAS Super Pro-Sticks? I found one at a trailer park yard sale, and at this point I'm pretty sure it's for 3DO. (The guy said he thought it was for Genesis.) There's two plugs - one looks exactly like the one on my 3DO controller. The other one must be for daisy chaining. ...

My Saturn is unmodded, so I have to use an Action Replay cart to play imports. Deep Fear is one of a handful of multi-disc Saturn games which, due to the mechanism used for saving progress between discs, cannot be played to completion using the Action Replay cartridge. That's why the PAL version go...

Anybody know how to get through mission 6, where you have to destroy the air base and deal with enemy radar? Is this the final mission? Thanks.

It also had a lot of weird Japan-only releases. Most of your major players released SOMETHING for it. And yet, no shooters.

I swear I saw an old article that said a million were sold in Japan and two million were sold worldwide, but I can't find it now.

Didn't Laina's dad fry his brain? He disapproved of their relationship.

But it does have the Panasonic logo.

Not impressed by the demo I have. Don't know where I'm going, and these bats keep shooting at me.

I scanned a couple pages from the Trip'd manual:

Japanese game designer and musician Kenji Eno has died of heart failure induced by high blood pressure, reports The Asahi Shimbun. Among his accomplishments, his former company Warp produced several titles for the 3DO including D and Trip'd. He was 42. English: http://kotaku.com/5985871/game-designe...

Doesn't Trip'd have another track (Trip Dance), or is that in another format?

I guess so. Good ol' Pack-In-Video ... I'll have to check out a vid of the Saturn Racer to see how the music fits. Versatile tunes that work just as well for a space shooter, as the do for a racer, or a pinball game. :P Burning Soldier and Wangan share a few tracks, actually. And the intro music fr...

It's from Burning Soldier. It's also in Wangan Dead Heat/Highway 2000 for the Saturn. They really got some mileage out of that music.

It's "tsumego."

ALG published Johnny Rock, Crystal Dynamics distributed.

And The Horde was planned for the Super NES and was being developed by Lobotomy Software (founder's LinkedIn).

Iron Angel: The Return is another one that's not quite an exclusive - the Japanese Windows version.

They were both distributed by Crystal Dynamics.

There's box shots of the last two on GameFAQs, but I don't think the others were released.

Trev wrote:If not, there are still 4 of the 7 that deserve mention.

3 of the 7. Burning Soldier came out for PC in Japan in 1998.

Should I or someone else compile videos from Nico Nico Douga? There's a lot of 3DO stuff there.

Nothing in-depth or detailed, but I wrote a blog post on my site about the similarities between Ultraman Powered for the 3DO and Shinobi Legions for the Saturn and how prolific development company Tose was involved in both. (If you haven't heard of Tose, there's plenty out there to see and read abou...

Trip'd is a hidden gem. Not so hidden maybe, but it doesn't get a lot of talk and it's good. Yeah, Trip'd is pretty good. Unfortunately, 1P solo Trip'd is almost coma-inducing. As soon as it starts getting intense, you move up a level, the bottom rows are eliminated, and everything slows back down.

If you play them back-to-back, you'll see how much of an improvement the sequel is.

What's on that Japanese "Elevator Action Demo Tape?"

Shockwave's in Korean.

Are there just screenshots, or is there video?

Or Burning Soldier (3DO) or Deadalus/Robotica (SS) (both from Genki)...

I don't know if you've figured it out by now, but you press A to turn on the magnetos.

Someone uploaded the Guardian War soundtrack here.

Austin wrote:Err.. Then where would the d-pad go?

No D-pad.
