LOL, I reckon a top 25 3DO only games would definately be impossible, unless you filled the entire list with really rubbish games.3DO Experience wrote:You rated D lower than Soccer Kid? *Slaps you right int he face* LOL in all seriousness I think it deserves better than in the 30's. However I agree with your rating for Space Hulk. Nice screen shots BTW.
PS. 3DOKid has a nice top 50 done in video form.
PPS. Someone needs to do a top 50/25 of 3DO only titles. Not me though, I'm far too lazy.
It's funny, I didn't expect to run into you when I joined up here, LOL, I wanted to ask you, is casper really that good? it looks terrible. and I can't find a copy from the UK.3DOKid wrote:Sorry. Like I say, that hour is gone for good!
Anyway! Welcome to forum. It's good to have another Brit amongst us.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm probably still not totally finished with the list, I really want to make it a top 50, and I'm pretty confident that it would be possible (there's certain games that look like they could be top 50 material, like taiketsu rooms, iron angel 2, Casper but I can't find copies of them) as well as this there are actually at least two games (total eclipse and blade force) which I've been playing a lot recently and have started to think aren't top game material so I would be happier if I found 12 or 13 more games and took them out.Trev wrote:Interesting list ... the bottom 20 surprised me a bit, but the top 20 were pretty spot on w/my own opinion.
Soccer Kid is great!You rated D lower than Soccer Kid?
Nice to find another who shares my views of Immercenary too.
My only gripe ... where or where is Twisted?
(or other tactical RPG's like FF Tactics for that matter) They're just not really my type of games. Well i'm not really on my own in either respect, most of the reviewers from the magazines of the time said that soccer kid was a good game (as well as IGN for their GBA review) and most of them said Total Eclipse was terrible.3DOKid wrote:I personally think Total Eclipse is brilliant. And it still very playable. I actually completed it recently too, and while it is showing it's age a little, I still think it's better than a lot of shooters out there today. Considering it was the U.K. release title. It's like Crash N' Burn. Both release titles (in different territories) but pretty good games, all considered.
As for Soccer Kid, you're on your own. It looks, feels, smells and is, a pretty average Amiga game for ever trapped in 1989. Meh.
I have a big stack of PS1 games now, and frankly the first gen of PS1 games look utterly aweful. even by a 3DO fanboys standards. Of the ones that stand out: WipeOut, Ridge Racer and believe or believe it not, Toshinden look awesome. But a lot, I mean a lot, look really bad. (WC IV, Krazy Ivan, Air Combat and Death Trap Dungeon -- I'm looking at you!)mattyg wrote:thats the difference between writing to operating systems and writing to hardware which is why the 3do was easier to exploit - I still believe it had plenty left in the tank whereas with sega it seemed like only the in house guys knew what they were dealing with (N64 too).Adding a second processor late in development put third parties behind as they were writing to incorrect specs for the saturn - sony third parties were spoilt by the graphics library handed to them (same routines for sky , ravines , ground texture - just enter colour and size) . This made early sony games look good but gameplay and programmers were lazy.
