3 stupid questions for a Thursday morning.
Ok, I think the subject line covers this so I'll get straight into the questions
1.) I can buy games from anywhere in the world and they'll work on my 3DOs, I know that much. But is there any benefit in making sure I buy the UK PAL versions? Or will the resultant game be exactly the same played through my PAL system and on to my PAL TV no matter where I buy it from? 'Cause I'd much rather collect the big box versions of games than the small jewel case UK ones.
2.) I've got Road Rash here and when I try to select one of the actual songs to play during the game it tells me there's not enough memory in the system, even if I've cleared the memory. How come? Will this part of the game only work with a memory expansion?
3.) Is Jurassic Park Interactive worth buying? Is it the same as the Amiga CD32 version?
Stupidity over.

1 is true to an extent, but i know for a fact Way of the Warrior wont work on any PAL system ive tried it on. There may be others.
2, buggered if i know, what sort of system is this? There is no memory expansion i know of. Check the battery. That shouldnt have any effect on the ability to play the music in Road Rash, but it might....
3, its crap. The intro is pretty good, but the game is pretty poor. Dont know about the Amiga version, what happens in that one?

Well I've done some reading on here and 3DOkid's blog (both reviews lol) and I've deleted JPI from the current list! It was a big box game and I love the franchise but it can wait until that time many, many years into the future when I'm filling gaps in the collection I'm only starting off now, so big box NFS it is!
The Road Rash thing, I'm very disappointed that it won't play the Jukebox to chose the songs to play during the game as surely this was a big selling point? But now Case is saying it DOES work? I'm confused!

How late? Ive got 2 FZ10s here, one of which is an FZ10-E, and they BOTH play songs in the Jukebox!!Trev wrote:The later model FZ-10's had a newer, lower cost chip-set which resultes in Road Rash bringing up the memory message you mentioned in regards to the music.
You cant make those songs play during the race though, if that is what youre trying to do. Only in the menus and the Jukebox, using the top L and R buttons should adjust volume.

Took ages but I eventually found some info on the Jurassic Park game I was referring to and after all that it wasn't the Commodore Amiga CD32 after all, it was the Sega Mega CD version.
Here's a link which, if you scroll down a bit describes the game and has a couple of videos of the game in action. If you ignore the awful walkthrough voiceover who criticises the game's videos and graphics etc (what does he expect for it beign so old!!), and concentrate on the game you'll see it's very different to every other JP game that came out back then.

I remember it being hyped up back in the day, but it looks like it'd be an underwhelming game to play unfortunately. Looks like the GameBoy version is still the best then!
