Which ending did you get? I'm guessing the one where he was in his car.

I was speaking more of the games, personally. Silent Hill 2 is one of my all-time favorite games, ever. Resident Evil games tend to be a once through and you know where the dogs are going to pop through the window. Too much reliance on cheap scares, then the same engine over and over until 4. The se...

Always been more a Silent Hill man myself, but the first RE movie was alright. Never saw the others, though.

I assume you're looking for adventure games. They don't really happen on consoles anymore except in freak occurences. There were a fair few more back on the Playstation (Blazing Dragons, Discworld 2) but they've fallen way out of vogue with the console crowd. Off the top of my head, I can't think of...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Japanese gaming. I have no knowledge of how the European releases work, so I'll concentrate on American and Japanese differences here. If you've ever realized you're not strong enough for a dungeon and you have to run around the world map outside for a few hours to ...

Had to be done. You can see the manga and more recent games are in my walk-in closet, but you don't see the rest of the boxes. All the consoles, peripherals... creap, a box of controllers higher than your waist, powergloves hanging off the shelves, you name it. I had a big store. Before that, I had ...

Only problems I know of are with widescreen televisions. Could be interesting.

Well it's not 3DO, but it was my old store shelves:

Sweet jesus...

Hey, I'm about to reopen my game store and I like to stock retro stuff. If you want to sell some of your redundant copies, I'd love to talk.

Zoinks. This is why I primarily date bisexual women, you know. You can have boob talk with your girl and... well... yeah. The games I never knew existed on the 3DO continue to amuse me. At my first managing job, a place called Game World, we had the jewelcase for Sex sitting on the shelf in front of...

I do not understand your crazy moon language, sir. Is this one of those Japanese titty games?

Real Pinball and Fire Ball are the same exact game. And yeah, Hell. The concept was nifty and the plot twist at the end was pure awesome, but getting there required really soul numbing fetch quests and bizarrely-conceived logic puzzles. The only thing worthwhile until the last fifteen minutes of gam...

Shoot them. Up close combat favors the dudes who don't need the guns, obviously.

Relevant!

Man, maybe I should move out there. Two Brits say boo when all the Yanks I know are worshipping the game.

You are a gentleman and an inspiration, sir.

The grumpy old men of gaming are the new Illuminati. Yes, Zach and I will definitely save you a beach chair.

You know, I didn't like this game on the first pass for the "no real story" reasoning, which has always struck me as kind of essential to an rpg. But it grew on me. It was quirky and I think a little groundbreaking with stuff that has since become common in games like Final Fantasy Tactics. Also, Sh...

Star Fighter! Loved it, thought the missions WERE a bit generic, sorry. I could never get into that "It's all just a simulation" within a simulation stuff. Always seemed a copout to explain the somewhat rough graphics when 3D gaming was still working on being pretty. Apparently the original version ...

I did figure this game out a looong time ago. It wasn't worth figuring out, in my opinion. About as fun as Kileak, really.

Talk about your loaded questions... For my money... yeah, let me explain this. I played BC Racers on the SegaCD, where gameplay was considered more optional than on a lot of the lesser 3DO games, so BC Racers didn't come off as especially bad compared to some of those little nuggets. PDWT had a blon...

That doesn't make you a d**khead, friend. Easy enough mistake, right?

That would be fortunate coincidence, as I never owned a copy of that game for the 3DO.

Duelin' Firemen was indeed a cancelled game, developed by a company that went on to make a few hit GBA games. It was likely to be really bad, but the FMV promised cheesy goodness. It starred Rudy Ray Moore of Dolemite fame, and another extremely talented and charismatic actor as his... rival, I thin...

The way I figure it, one of you is eventually going to slip up and list an address.

Anyway, Trip Hawkins is a nice man who did not seem like he was about to kick me out of the 3DO booth all that time ago. Wow, I am old.

Hello, my name is Vance, and I'm a sexaholic. In my spare time I slap a can opener against my thighs and collect torsos. Oh wait, wrong room. So yeah, I was a big 3DO collector back in the day. The collection was beautiful, pretty much all mint in box with instructions and whatever else you please. ...
