#do to me was always the
coolest system.It was the first true cd system I ever had.Many
of the games were ports
from other systems,but 3do always stood on top as the best ports
to me."Mad dog mcree,sewer
sharks,night trap,super street fighter,road rash,ect"And then
it had some very cool 3do
only games,"hell,pataank,twisted,crash&burn,Madden football".
One of the things I liked
most about it was that id was more than just a gaming system.It
had many educational titles
for adults and kids alike from Tom Kites golf tutorial,to animals
and The ocean below,plus
some cartoon cd's for entertainment toon time in the classroom,
woddy woodpecker..It was
the most well rouned system and was headed in the right direction
before it got discontinued.Just
to much trouble being a 700 price tage and not making much
support at the time,but
now that you can bearly find it anywhere,it has a great fallowing of
classic gamers.The new generation
is missing out if the never even hear of the 3do..

I think it is very funny
how everyone says this or that system is the first ever CD-
based games system.
It makes me think of CD-i,
which was a few years _BEFORE_ 3DO AND NEC. Okay,
so it was not MARKETED as
a games system, but technically it is the same. If not
CD-i, then there's still
CDTV (Commodore Dynamic Total Vision or something), a failed
Commodore-experiment to
put an Amiga into a conventional CD-player casing. Then
came CD-i, and after that
the Commodore CD32, a 68020-based (32-bit) gaming system
loosely based on the Amiga
1200. Or was the Amiga 1200 based on CD32? Who knows,
I don't know much about
Amiga except it was the heritage of the old Atari 400/800,
developer-wiser (same engineers).

I bought teh 3do system
as an import when it was initially released and paid lots
of $$$$$$$$$$ for it, unfortunately
it died before proper release in australia.
There are a few places on
teh web that sell the 3do games for this dead system
but alas all are US sites.
Does anyone out theer know of any place in AUSTRALIA
to purchase 3do games??
I really want to buy more cause some of the games are
still gold and many dont
even feel that dated despite the fact tehy are 6-8 years old
which again says how good
this system is and how much better it could have been.
email me...please.

I am from the UK and I have
had a 3DO for many years and I still think it is a good
console even better then
the N64 and Dreamcast but I only have 3 games that work
due to I lent it to my dad
and when I got it back most of my game are scratched and
therefore can not be played
so I am wondering if any one knows where I can buy the
games for my 3DO
Thanks

I also bought the 3DO back
when it was releases in the US for the $800 price tag and
managed to get about 15
games for it. I unfortunately gave it away when N64 came
out(i am a Nintendo person
for
life) but the 3DO amazed me so much now that i think
back that I contacted the
people I gave it too and I am getting it back and will be a
permanent fixture in my
house.

Hey,
This is a cool site.
I thought I was the ONLY who loved the 3DO!!! I stumbled upon
this site (as I won the
bid to Night Trap on Ebay) and searched for a 'reviewing' site
for 3DO games I could not
find back in 1995.
If ANY of you guys want,
let's band together and try to get Trip Hawkins (3DO CEO
here in the U.S.) to relaunch
the system!!
I have a secret tip also.
I told a friend the 3DO had a system so that you could not view
the contents of a 3DO game
CD, he took up my challenge. He burned a copy (Ballz) as
a test to prove how good
he was. He told me to test it. And to my disblief - the
game had NO LOAD TIME!!!
He burned it at 4x. I think 3 times as fast!!
If 3DO were to re-release,
faster burned 3DO games, I think it would catch on!!! I am a die
hard fan, though the Goldstar
kept breaking on me, I still stuck with it. I now have the FZ10.
It is awesome!
I may sound ludicrus, but
I'm totally ignoring the Dreamcast and more excited at finding hard
to find 3DO games than purchasing
the PS2. Really!
If any of you want to work
on an unofficial website to show 3DO they have the support, they
just need to supply the
world with more systems and faster games. None of this 3D crap!
The system should remain
the same. Nothing new to lock out old games.
And for starters, re-launch
games should be :
Road Rash
Gex
Samaurai Shodown (no other
system could handle it's scaling - except Neo Geo)
Soccer Kid
Burning Soldier
Way of the Warrior (Naughty
Dog should drop Crash and fix the controls and add some more
animations - revamp it totally!
Also cause some attntion with the violence and blood)
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Monster Manor
Alone in the Dark (to contend
any Resident Evil clone)
Pataank
Incredible Puzzle Machine
(everyone would love it)
Putt-Putt games
And any 5 of the kiddie
games
And any 5 of the adult porno-type
games.
Now, with a line-up and with
many newbie video game players not knowing of this system with
it's power and grace with
a satifying $80 price tag (if costs could allow it to be), many would snag
it.
And keeping the cost of games
at around $35.99, 3DO would gain valuable lost market! Is anyone
with me?
I've wanted to launch a one
man 3DO campaign. Not because I think the 3DO is a great system,
mainly because it IS a GREAT
system.
"I got my 3DO, do you have
yours?"
Any of you reading this,
if you like what you've read, please, email me. May we can do something
and see if 3DO would try
to release something!! I want my M2<whine>! Oh and with
super Sailor
Moon, talk about girlie
sales. And maybe Exclusives of the Power Puff Girls, A fully animated
Scooby
Doo series of games, and
Army Men finally on their parent system.
Maybe even a better, simpler,
funner version of Final Fantasy re-make just for the 3DO.

smiling."

To the guy claiming the
3D0 brought CD gaming before anyone else, well, i laugh at the thought.
NEC released a CD-Rom for
their PC Engine/Turbo Grafx-16 in both the US and Japan before even
an announcement of 3D0 was
made. Check your facts.

Ya.. I always personally
thought that the TurboGrafx-16 (pc engine in japan) was the first cd based
follwed
by 3d0 then sega cd but
I could be wrong.. I love this system with all my heart and play it more
than my
dreamcast sometimes. only
thing is Zhadanost wont load.. I get to the fire stuido 3do logo. Were
there
some machines zhadanost
would run on? fgot an fz-10 and this is the only game that wont run. Heck..
even killing time and bladeforce
work right on it. As for M2.. that is sad.. 3do had the proper mind set
to
make good games. At least
they still do for the pc :)

Eveyone that loves this
system should try like me to bring it back.or if some one could get some
custom
software that would help.
there is a huge following I see it every day on the net.sony and n64 are
not nearly
as cool as 3do.anyone who
has played games like plumbers don't wear ties or night trap will tell
you that.
fellow 3do lovers email
any software company you can and create the buzz.I wan't my 3do

I have owned this system
since its debut(and paid top dollar for it) I have almost every game ever
developed for it and havent had any
malfunctions. I have enjoyed it and recomend it for people who want
a second or even third systym in the
home. ( by the way it can be used as a cd player with a cool screen saver
while you play music.) But I
have this one frustration. After loading many games and saving them
on the imbeded chip I have used up all the availible
memory and cant figure out how to access the memory manager. If you
can instruct Me I would apreciate
the message.

I recently recieved an unwanted
3DO from a work collegue. Being a massive fan of Games i was intrigued
with
the 3DO. It came with a
host of software from BC racers to Doom and generally i was impressed.
Except
with Doom which was abysmal.
I am still wondering how the 3DO died out. It had so much potential.
As i live in the UK it is
nearly impossible to find games for the 3DO which is a shame cause i luv
the machine.
Will US games work on UK
Pal machine? Probably not! Any info anyone has on UK Pal 3DO games
would be
great, Especially adult
games cause i could do with a laugh!

I have a system here in
the USA. I bought the system out of a pawn shop. The gold with a
BUNCH of games,
then lost them due to hard
ship. I went out and bought another one again from a pawn shop, unfortunately
this
was not the gold but just
the regular panasonic. I do feel that this is still one of the best
video game system
around. The reason
for this is there isn't a game that beats Death keeper and Slayer.
Yes some games come
close like Doom for PS but
it just doesn't compare. I hope that you will be able to keep this
site around for a
long time. If you
could help me in finding "Death keeper" it would be greatly apreative.

Info: 3DO was the
first CD-gaming console! Many people think that some console from NEC was
the first,but actually, 3DO was officialy
the first to introduce CD-gaming.
Games: 3DO's first
few games were low-qualitied, but the last few games made for 3DO were
one of the best,example of the good games:
Blade Force, Neuro Dancer, Battle Sport, D, Sailor Moon Super(very good
game).3DO's adult games from America
were not liked, as they were horible( the good American porn game was Neuro Dancer), but the adult games
from Japan were loved and when 3DO died, Sega Saturn (of Japan) continued
3DO's good Japanese porno-tainment.
Example of a Japanese adult
game for 3DO: AV Girl Mahjong
Example of a American adult
game for 3DO: Naked Reunion, Blonde Justice
Future: Around 1997,
3DO made this new-generation 3DO, called M2, but they sold it to Mitusita,
as 3DO was in a state when they could
be taken advantage of (this is what I call politics ^_^, other people called
it business strategy *_*)So, 3DO the gaming console
will most likely not come alive again, but now, 3DO makes games for other
consoles, example: Army Men for PC!
~_~More info: You can get more
info about 3DO at: http://members.xoom.com/Alzarius/page0.html
( if you want even more
info, look under the links page in the above page :)
To buy or not to buy:Although 3DO is dead, I still think you should buy it, if you don't have
it. You can get the games from Player's Choice
also, as Player's Choice offers games for a CHEAP price, and Player's Choice's
games have GOODDD quality.

Eventually the M2 upgrade
was released in Japan, but not as an upgrade. It was released in
Japan as a development system to develop 3-d rides
and arcade games. The official web page address from Panasonic is http://www.m2system.com/index_e.htmlin English. If you want my opinion the Nintendo Dolphin is nothing
more than a repackaged M2 made
for the home. Very similar specs, Power PC processor, and DVD.
I smell that Nintendo bought the rights for the
U.S. distribution of the M2 system and are slapping their name on it.
Thanks,Alex
