3DO ZONE Forums

Heh, I knew you guys would find the humor in this as I did. Sadly, the little wife happened upon my photoshoot of the object in mention and saw it as yet another slip down the spiraling slide to hell that is 3DO soft porn :D Actually, considering all of the "games" that have been dropped on our door...

Sure, sounds good to me. If you want, I can supply you with the original high res versions of the same images. Up to you

Ok, so I am in the process of going through my Japanese imports for the 3DO. In sorting through the imports it is quite common to come across games that have jewel cases that are thick and heavy due to a large number of inserts/manuals/mail-in cards/etc. I happened upon the game Short Warp by WARP a...

Welcome.
That image has a real nice look to it. Good job

The unit in the picture I picked up new at a mom and pop store about 5 years ago. I believe I have another one boxed away that I purchased on Ebay probably two years ago.

Hello,
I can understand your desire to repair your unit. However, to tell the truth, you will be much better served by simply purchasing a functioning unit at auction or from an on-line store.

I haven't had a chance to look into the specifics of the control pads on 3DO vs. Genesis, but from what I do know they will not work interchangeably on the two machines. Additionally, you run the risk of damaging the 3DO if you try to use Genesis pads on it. The reason is that the 3DO uses a serial ...

Congratulations!
Cool stuff. I also thought about bidding on those, but didn't have the time to dig into their authenticity.
That's one hell of a nice addition to your collection

Well, my stick is much smaller than those, but I am very adept at using it. Read what you will into that statement. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/bitrate_photos/DSC03345_25.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/bitrate_photos/DSC03351_25.jpg It also allows you to use a SNES pad on the ...

3DOKid- Did you get a chance to play some games with the arcade stick yet? If you like the fighting games, it's a great additional to the 3DO. I love how solid it feels also.

I got the Logitech control pad in the mail today, and I think it outclasses the Panasonic pad in every way. It's more comfortable to hold, I like the smaller/clickier face buttons, the shoulder buttons are a nice improvement, and I love that the connector for additional controllers is at the end of...

Yes. If you could post some screen shots that would be great

Do you have the 3DO Blaster sw and the Blaster card driver? If not, just let me know

The sad thing is that I already have the PC to run it in my office. I keep an old ASUS TX chipset board (P-200MMX) with DOS 6.2/WfW 3.11 for playing old DOS games native. I actually pulled a Matrox Mystique out of it a few weeks ago to downgrade to a 1Mb Cirrus board so that I could use a VESA feat...

Thanks for the nice review. I've never been bothered to try any of the edutainment titles out, but after reading this review I think I might give this a whirl.

I would be happy to share everything and develop a listing of all known compatible hardware. I have a US 3DO Blaster, German 3DO Blaster, and a Japanese 3DO Blaster. So software in these languages is available, as is documentation. I just scanned the US user's guide a couple of days ago. Alot of the...

Great pictures bitrate. In Germany: The Blaster with Joypad and Software: 800 German Mark (400 € / GBP 585 / $303) Sounds like Germany may have gotten a little bit of a break on the cost. Of course, it's all relative to when it was released in Germany. If it had released at that price in the US it ...

I tend to gravitate more toward turn-based RPG's. My favorite RPG's are Dragon Warrior 1-4. The amount of crap they stuffed into an 8-bit cart in Dragon Warrior 4 is amazing. On the 3DO I also loved Guardian War, and of course Lucienne's Quest. I haven't completed either of these, but I will as soon...

When it debuted it cost $399, which I believe was the same price as the then marked down consoles.

It was said to allow 3DO to expand into the PC market and it allowed Creative to offer an advanced gaming platform to their then extensive installed base of Creative CD-ROM drives.

nice to see one finally in action, after i heard what was involved in getting it to work 5 years ago i said screw that i have enough trouble messing around with a modern computer :) i never even used the freedo program or a controller of any kind on my computers :lol: Yes, it definitely requires pa...

It's 3DO on a computer but without the use of FreeDo? http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/bitrate_photos/DSC03189_26.jpg Yep, it's that obscure piece of 3DO history responsible for lackluster sales vastly eclipsing those of other 3DO players. Quite a nice distinction. Creative 3DO Blaster. http:/...

Yeah, I'd bet you would even play some Primal Rage right about now

Anyone who has played the Saturn version care to comment on how it plays?

You know what I hate the most about this game and Way of the Warrior besides the nonexistant character animation and awkward controls - the fact that it looks like they bribed the programmers friends and family into stopping by the office for a few minutes during lunch break to quickly motion captur...

It does indeed seem to be a product for those advanced in years... So, what exactly is Pon Pon? Any more info? I gotta say, those graphics don't exactly scream 64-bit :roll: I have a feeling that they made the graphics appear like that so that their matured audience would be able to see what is goi...

HA!

I love that title: "Ashley is Cheating, Are you?"

Classic

For me it would have to be Star Trek A World for all Seasons and I also would have liked to see MK III.

I'm playing a little more now than I was before. This might just be a coincidence though as I am currently in the middle of sorting out my 3DO collection.
One thing is for sure though, it is really nice to have a place to discuss the 3DO and all of its games.

Can't wait for the reviews !
What all did you get there? I see the memory unit, Dr. Hauzer, the joystick, the Panasonic disk we discussed in another thread...

Not really a new game, but I loved Shadow of the Collosus. The atmosphere was awesome and I found the puzzles fun.
