LiveWire Exercise System

Someone on Twitter bought the 3DO Content Library . He noticed an empty case with the words "LiveWire Project Ltd." on the cover. Literally the only thing I could find was a press release posted on some Usenet newsgroups about an exercise system called LiveWire that interfaced with the 3DO. M2 and W...

I have a PS1 pad converter but it doesn't do the analogue sticks unfortunately.
Third-party controllers like the Mad Catz Dual Force 2 Pro let you use the sticks for pre-Dual Shock games. I guess it's just simulating/acting as the D-pad, but it's a nice feature. I wonder if that would work.

The Making of 3DO Starblade

Shameless plug, but I recently spoke with one of the programmers on 3DO Starblade, Akihito Koriyama. Basically, it uses FMV and 2D graphics. You can read more on my site here. I also made a comparison video between the FMV and in-game footage.

Re: Recent 3DO Purchases

Not 3DO, but 3DO-related. I found Icebreaker and Return Fire for PC for $1 at a Goodwill last week. Now I have Return Fire for three different systems, and I don't know why.

Re: Question about Shelly Duvall's It's A Bird's Life

I'm gonna guess there was no manual. Everything's printed on the inside of the box, and there's separate cards with warranty and Fun Club information (see here).

MobyGames says PO'ed uses SlaveDriver, but that doesn't make any sense. I don't see anything else that says that.

As you'll see here, there's no score in the traditional sense, but it tallies up your enemy hit rates.

Re: 3DO MAS Super Pro-Stick

The 3DO Today guy has one with turbo and slow switches. That makes three. How many of these do you reckon are out there?

I actually find arcade sticks to be a little uncomfortable; they make my hand cramp up.

Re: Road Rash getting back into it.

Does this have anything to do with the 2x disc read speed option you can toggle in the PS2's bios/menu? I don't have those options turned on. There are very brief moments, especially in valleys, where it gets pretty smooth. I don't remember noticing that on my PS1, but I guess I'll have to dig that...

Re: Road Rash getting back into it.

Is it my imagination or does PS1 Road Rash have a higher framerate on the (slim) PS2 than on a regular PS1? Anybody want to corroborate? (Off-topic, but G Darius feels the same way, too.)
