What was the original 3do launch date? Early to mid '93?

Funny I went to the wiki article before posting. I went immediately to the 3do interactive multiplayer page which only mentions years but the 3do page says October 93. My bad :lol:

I remember having all these video game mags hyping the release of the console, and being well stoked that I would get to play Dragons lair at home, then being proper gutted when I remembered I couldnt afford the price tag.

So saved up for aaaaaages and finally got one within a year or so of release. All was fine in the world (until the company crashed)

I regret nothing. :)

I remember going to Babages and seeing this sucker and falling head over heels with it. Between it and the Jaguar I had no clue which I wanted, so I got both. Got the Jaguar first though as it was cheaper. I loved what was there and really got excited when I finally saw The Horde. Still an awesome game today too! "I was raised by a kind herd of wild cows!", priceless! :lol:

I remember spending nearly a year drooling over Crash N' Burn waiting for the '94 UK release date ;)

Crash N' Burn was cool. I actually have the Japanese version though and need the US one as I like the cheesy dialogue!

Yeah, the dialouge is totally cheesy. I loved when I was told that 'the secret to wininng is to never ever make a mistake' Deep! :wink:
