Welcome to the club Devin.

It got back to back covers. Poor 3DO hardly had any new releases by that point.

You really should make the alternate "3DO employees are irritated by our old name forum" too, if only for a laugh.

R.E.A.L. is ...

Try is ... I don't know about that one. But clearly the Y is for Yak, a.k.a. Jeff Minter.

I also think I read this before, but it was probably just from my Quran - I mean, the same 3DO magazines.

Olympic Summer Games? Am i getting my games confused? It's not reviewed is it?

It's on the cover of 3DO Magazine issue 12, and has a 4 page review in issue 13.

Wasn't Blade Force and Killing Time considered two of the best games of that Generation? I doubt it ... although I do remember Blade Force was hyped at E3 with it's crazy flyig contraption that show goers could try, and got a ton of praise from mags like Game Players and Die Hard Game Fan in partic...

Does anyone know what scores 3DO magazine (UK) gave Luciennes Quest and Olympic Summer Games? Thanks Olympic Summer Games got 4 out of 5 stars in a nice 4 page review which covered every event. I really like the game. I think Luciennes Quest got the same score, but I'm going off memory since I don'...

It's super easy to get lost. And then when you finally do find a way to go, you run out of fuel and die. Fun gameplay, excellent visuals, but yeah, vague missions and confusing stage design makes for a mixed experience. Well said. I've always thought the levels in BladeForce overstayed their welcom...

3DOKid wrote:"3DO employees are irritated by our old name forum" was a joke

So, i picked the top 2.

You should still make up an alternate logo for it, just for fun. We could bust it out on April Fools day or something.

Both 3DO Zone & 3DO employees are irritated by our old name forum already beat 3DO Experience in the earlier poll. So even though I think changing the name is silly, I'll pick 3DO Zone since it won once already.

Welcome to the forums.

oh those trouble makers i say screw them also. now post you lazy f*%ks

Obviously they aren't posting because they are offended by our forum name.

3DO Experience wrote:Both had line problems; the loose one I've fixed

Did you do the oven technique?

Speaking of removing accounts, there are over 100 forum members listed who have never posted ... some in many years! Didn't we used to remove "spammers" after a certain length of time if they didn't at least post once? When did this policy change? In any case, it make are member ranks look inflated.

I've just started playing the game again to refresh my memory. I find the few sections where you have to keep hitting the B button to be fairly easy myself. At least in compariosn to other button mashing games that I can quickly recall (the old Track n Field games, the torture scene from MGS, etc .....

That 3DO magazine looks way cool. I'm jealous. I see it's dated 1995/1996, so I imagine there are a number of ultimately cancelled games covered in there? Not really. It's mainly a compilation of reviews from previous issues. Some have slight tweaks to them. It also has a bit of history on the 3DO ...

Nice.

And Battle Chess has "full screen display" on PAL systems.

My VB is broken.

The search function often seemes to work sporadically. I've had several issues myself.

What exactly are are the issues you encounter with Strahl? I own a Japanese version which I play on my NTSC machine, and it works fine.

Your heart is in the right place 3DOKid. I hope I don't come off critical. From my perspective though, it just seems silly to change the name of a forum ... 1- That has been known by it's current name for 6+ years 2 - Is about a console that was already niche to begin with, and ... 3 - is about a co...

Well said.

I regret trading my copy away.

You're right, it doesn't.

hmmm. We should run a competition. The winner gets to name the forum. Naturally, i'll rig the competition, so Lemmi and Trev don't win. I don't think i can handle the psychological trauma. Good thing I've spent the last 6 years setting up spam accounts for a moment just like this. Still wondering w...

Meh... I don't know. I say if the name bothers some, maybe they are in need of a reality check: the 3DO has been dead for a very long time, and the the amount of people in the current gaming that are actually aware of the system (or even give a damn about it if they are) are in a very slim minority...

Hmmm ... sometimes if I get bored with gaming (or any other hobbies) its just because I want something different. For example, maybe I'm playing action games when my mood is more suited to an rpg or graphic adventure. By owning such a large collection, and with so many choices readily available (dep...

I never did get to try those out. Someone told me years later they didn't work very well. Yeah, I definitely wasn't very impressed at all. The ads, commercials, etc ... made them sound much more advanced than they really were. I did actually try them with a good many games, including games like Wol...

3DO Experience wrote:Sorry, I don't have that disc. I do remember the post long ago talking about that title.

I think I might have asked a while back. It is a shame, especially since JB Harold Murder Club is one of my favorite TG16 cd games.

I can certainly understand the annoyance at the time. Not sure how much it really matters now though, since the console has been discontinued for 17 years. I still say add a poll to see what other members think about it. If it really is a big deal to most, go for it. I can't imagine it being so howe...
