3DO Games you've spent the most time playing.
I know there are loved games and favourite games, but which games on the 3DO have you spent the most time on?
I love WCIII but have only played it about 6 times. On the other hand Novastorm, a pretty mediocre game, I've spent days and days playing.
NFS must also be up there but then so must Burning Soldier.
...and you?

Having only just bought my 3DOs again after all these years, I'll go by what I spent the most time playing when I originally had it back as a teen, and my answer would definitely be WCIII as well. I LOVED that game!
Back then it was so far ahead of its time, it just amazed me and anyone that saw it running on the TV, it's one I'll definitely be adding to my collection this time around too.
I've just been speaking to two old friends of mine on Facebook when I added the photo of my 3DOs, they're brothers and back in the day every Saturday night would be WCIII night. We'd each take an hour at a time to advance our own games, while being surrounded by enough soft drinks and chocolate cake to see us through to the small hours. And even though we'd be seeing parts we'd already seen when we took over from each other, we still sat there and watched every minute.
Ah those were the days....

The major addictions in college (I was a late adopter, paying $150 for anew unit) were the game shows and Battlesport. But the main single player obsession late at night was definitely Star Fighter.
Freeform maps AND deformable terrain on the 3DO. It made it look like every other dev had their thumbs up their ass. It was fun and had a crazy amount of missions, too.

On my borrowed system and limited library in the Nineties I mostly played NFS. My brother and I would compete for the longest, most extreme car crashes and replay them for each other.
I just got back into the 3DO again with a FZ-10 two weeks ago and I've stuck mostly to light, pick-up-and-play games so far, including:
Wolfenstein (plays better than Doom)
Family Feud (with my old lady)
and
NFS and Star Wars (having fun with my new Flight Stick Pro).
I'll bust into Slayer and Guardian War when I get caught up with work in a couple weeks.

i bought 3DO for Dragon's Lair...was there a scene missing from the original arcade version? i thought there was a "burning rope" bit in it or am i confusing No.1 with No.2?
I could complete No.1 with my 3 year old kid sitting on my lap, he loved it!!
Daedalus Encounter was coooool man...there is a Wacky Races 2 on 3DO!?!

It's pricey. The internet flebayers have seen as TEH R@RE and TEH Loved so it can silly money. And by silly I mean £20.3DwhO wrote:Never heard of those camerman games... but I see Star Control II getting a few mentions. I remember it being on my wanted list, but being at school back then meant I had to rely on birthdays and Christmas for games and never got around to getting that game. Maybe now, finally....

I had the demo of Dragon's Lair and I could never bloody well figure out what to do! Very much trial and error was the impression I got - random button or d-pad presses... or was my teen brain just a bit baffled?Dr.Enceladus wrote:i bought 3DO for Dragon's Lair...was there a scene missing from the original arcade version? i thought there was a "burning rope" bit in it or am i confusing No.1 with No.2?

Not too bad compared to the prices I've seen for some other games out there! I can see the 3DO becoming my main hobby and gaming platform for a good long time so I honestly don't mind paying a bit more, because if it wasn't 3DO games I'd just be out buying Wii games for more money! But don't tell eBay! They'll see me coming if you do!3DOKid wrote:It's pricey. The internet flebayers have seen as TEH R@RE and TEH Loved so it can silly money. And by silly I mean £20.

my parents hated video games. i remember having to bribe my lil sister with an ice cream so i could play space invaders when my folks would send us down to the local corner shop on weekends to buy the morning papers.
the game was still 20 cents a pop back then and galaga had not even come out yet.

And I haven't seen Bueller in so long... I need to watch it soon so Matthew Broderick can redeem himself in my eyes, as I've yet to forgive anyone involved with Godzilla.
