Re: Does a rev 0 version of Soccer Kid (USA) exists?
Very late reply, but I can confirm that my copy has a different ring code:
That code is B260 CE 00942-2 R70, for the record. I see it returns some Google hits, so I guess sometime between 2018 and now, the version I have was dumped.

I made a list for my own reference of the text-format reviews that have been posted to the forum. Rather than just leave it on my HD I thought I'd share it here. As of now I haven't embedded links to the individual reviews, but they're easy enough to find. Some games/titles have gotten multiple revi...

Review - Montana Jones
Another day, another out-of-region 3DO game beaten and now reviewed. This time it's Montana Jones, a Japan-only licensed release based on an anime series of the same name. That series lasted for a year, with 52 episodes total, and apparently got localized into a ton of different languages. (One of t...

Re: Review - Iron Angel of the Apocalypse: The Return
Now that I've played and beaten this one, I can confirm the accuracy of Martin's review. Honestly I found a lot of the game kind of dull, and I think the biggest problem is the stage design -- it gets very monotonous after a while, with only a couple clever bits (the closing-door pseudo-puzzle was c...

Review - The Eye of Typhoon
It seems an utterly quixotic thing to do, reviewing an ultra-rare Korean 3DO game on a message board with almost no traffic anymore. But I'm going to do it anyway. :mrgreen: Plus with the recent fan translation of Battle Blues, it strikes me as timely to take an interest in these Korean exclusives. ...

Re: Japanese Game Translation "Wish List"
I too would love to see the 3DO version of ROTK IV get translated. Yes, it's on other platforms, but experiencing each console's unique version is definitely worthwhile, as we never know what'll be there until we find out firsthand! Koei used a standardized approach to their games, and I'm wondering...

Re: Review - Iron Angel of the Apocalypse
This is a very well-written and perceptive review. Though I'm quite sympathetic to the game (and to the genre of slow-moving robot FPSes in general), I'm probably in the 9% that admires the game's style, but finds it too clunky to be much fun. I don't mind the low frame rate too much, but the lack o...

There are 48, good sir. And they depend on which order you clear the stages in.

Agreed with your description of Mazer. At the time it struck me as something like a cross between Smash TV and Shadow: War of Succession. It's a bit janky but very playable.

Re: Russian translation of Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S
Yeah, it was apparently a minor success in Russia. I don't know whether the leftover stock came from Japan or Korea, but unsold 3DOs seem to have ended up there and attained some degree of popularity. Maybe a Russian-speaking colleague can tell us more?

Russian translation of Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S
Just discovered that there's also a complete Russian translation of Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S. Those Russian hackers have been busy!
Sadly it looks to be mostly image-editing work (which is labor-intensive), but it's still good to know that a translation is clearly possible.

Russian translation of D: Director's Cut
As seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TF50Oi0znE
I'm not completely sure, but from what I can tell, not only has the original D been translated and fan-dubbed into Russian, but the Director's Cut has been translated as well. Not 100% clear on whether the translation is complete or not.

No idea whether it's correct, since I don't have a 3DO mouse!

I have no first-hand knowledge, but the old list of 3DO box styles says that it did come with a longbox, classifying it as "4 = Long Box w/ JC or CB holders and 1 or NO inserts".
