Re: Gamepro 3DO announcement

Huh, how far did the TNG game get? Was it released on other platforms? Has a 3DO proto surfaced? Do androids dream of sheepish electricity?

Re: Review - Psychic Detective

Good, well-written review that captures the game's spirit nicely. My fiancée and I played through this three times over the past couple nights. The first time we did absolutely nothing and got the worst ending (Moki's Playmate), and then we started exploring and figuring things out. So far we've got...

Re: 3DO 2-player co-op games?

So, er...any others? :D In particular, any unsung 2P co-op games in the Japanese or Korean 3DO libraries? We played Trip'd and Burning Soldier tonight, but it'd be nice to have more options. We could try Captain Quazar, but I don't see us playing Mazer, another 2P co-op game that wasn't mentioned......

Re: 22 Prince of Persia versions

It also depends on whether you count unofficial/homebrew ports, or ports that change the name but leave the game unchanged. Some computers have many different ports of the same game, e.g. the Tandy CoCo which has at least 4 different Donkey Kong ports. Heck, the Intellivision has four, now that I th...

Yes, please do! I've barely ever played the game, but I plan to take it on in the future, and knowing something's out there in case I get stuck is a big help (especially since it's by no means always the case for 3DO games).
