Re: Japanese 3DO FZ-1 overheating (I assume), discs hard to
Not sure about the heat, but the disc behavior is a sign the cd drive is going. It will probably still read original discs decently, but CD-Rs will put the machine through hell. My FZ-1 has this same exact behavior. It used to be fine but I think I killed it playing too much Star Control II on a CD...

What kind of complaint is that--the game is "too clean"? What?? That's like saying, "Man, I wish the graphics were worse!"

Re: And the Oscar goes to...
My vote goes to the backseat pilot in Sewer Shark. His acting is so over the top it makes me crack up (in a good way). That performance never gets old to me, especially with the combination of the music and sounds in his scenes.
To be fair though, I haven't played many other FMV games on the 3DO.

Japanese 3DO FZ-1 overheating (I assume), discs hard to read
I received a JP FZ-1 console a few weeks back and on the first night of hooking it up had some issues with it. I actually let it run for about an hour or two while doing stuff around the apartment and it seemed fine (I had DOOM in it). Then I went to play it, in which DOOM seemed to play fine for ab...

Re: Bad Ebay seller alert
You should be able to get your money back by filing a case. It's time consuming (Wait two weeks to be eligible to open a case; then, it takes about three weeks after that, maybe less). If that doesn't help, at least negative feedback will help put the seller in her place. There's a lot of stigma abo...

Re: Flashback
I've always held Flashback in fairly high regard. It's like a more puzzle and story oriented Prince of Persia, with guns. I'm not sure how much replay value it has though, as despite it making a big impression on me in my younger years, I never went back to complete it in more recent times. The 3DO ...

Re: Sega Saturn freak out.
I had a similar thing happen back in the day except it occurred with every game immediately. I called SEGA and tech support advised to unplug the system and remove the battery for a few minutes. Doing that cleared the issue. In this case though it sounds like a disc issue.

1. Flopon the Space Mutant is the first game.
2. Flopon the Space Mutant 2 is the sequel. Released in the US as Trip'd. Also on Short Warp.
3. Flopon World is a mini game compilation where its main highlight is a proto-shmup (Galaga style shooter).

Re: Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure
That's really cool to hear. The Jag version's animation isn't any better than any other, but it does have the benefit of having a higher color count than the Genesis/CD or SNES versions of the game. It's still a solid version. Regardless of which one you play though the game has excellent animation.
