3DO ZONE Forums

Basically my question is, what is the best Golf game for the 3DO? I want to try on of them out but was wondering which is better. If I am correct there are 3 different golf games, PGA 96, Pebble Beach and World Cup Golf. Which one would you recommend? I've only played Pebble Beach Golf Links but I ...

Then I apologise in advance:

Nintendo looks to be finally clear of the crap they dug themselves into... in 1997. We'll see. I hear that! The prices for games and high royalties back then were atrocious! They'd basically got too cocky, something I see Apple doing now, and they paid the price. But yeah they (Nintendo) seemed to ...

I only saw The Fugitive in action, but it was five steps below VHS quality. Pixels everywhere. I'd pick LD any day. LD was notoriously expensive back then though, not sure about now, is it even still about? But that's awful about the quality compared to VHS. What was the point then? Was the idea th...

1 FZ-1 and 1 FZ-10, both bought recently off eBay. Years ago my FZ-10's joypads both broke and that was in the days before eBay so could never get a hold of more, so it ended up being binned after holding on to it for a year or so more on the off-chance. Speaking of beating the snipers, the auction ...

So in all honesty, given the fact we only had VHS back then, what was the quality like in Total Recall? Heavy action scenes and special effects are bound to have been a test for it.

You had me sold at "Star Controll II".

I was skeptical until I watched the video press conference last night. It looks interesting, to say the least. Being able to play your game on the tablet itself is a neat idea, and using the tablet for extra viewing angles is clever, too. I'm still a little wary though. They "say" it's comfortable,...

I'm a Nintendo fan (raging my eyes won't work with the non-glasses 3D of the 3DS!) but I'm not a blind fan I have to say. Apparently the Wii U has more grunt under its bonnet than the PS3, and there's so much potential there for amazingingly involving, serious games on top of the fun Mario Karts etc...

What the console can do, games-wise and otherwise is simply staggering, but I'll have to get my hands on it to see if it's comfortable to use. My eyes can't do glasses-less 3D on the 3DS so even though it's got loads of other things going for it, its main selling point doesn't work for me, so I'll s...

Sounds like I need to add Wolfenstein to my list of potential first purchases then! I never did get around to playing it, on any format. I did get Doom with the 3DOs I bought recently... oh well, can never have enough mug coasters. I would like to see their opinions on the "best" Jaguar games, so if...

I've finally, after getting my S-Video and audio leads, been able to get down to some serious 3DO-ing on my time off work. I've become completely addicted to Pebble Beach Golf Links, a game I had back in the day, staying up to 2am last night and now playing again this afternoon. I do love it, but ob...

I think Perfect 10 is just a euphemism for 10 games thy thought were okay. I think you're right, it reeks of lazy journalism to me. They say these are the games on each system that you absolutely must own, but I know the C64 ones weren't all fantastic either. Which is why I wanted your opinions on ...

I did indeed But thanks for the offer of help anyway!

Yeah I read in the 3DO Magazine Gold edition that these were meant to be the start of a long series of games. It's still a beautifully relaxing experience even after all these years! That on its own is a great achievement!

Retro Gamer has a habit of selecting games just to be "different" and sometimes I wonder if they've played them at all! I read the 3DO Magazine review of WOTW today (3 stars/5) and the info in that RG paragraph is all in that review. Makes me wonder if RG's Perfect Ten features are all games they've...

Hmmm... no Blade Force? Apparently not and there's no mention of it in the actual article either, although there are a couple of screenshots of D2 on M2, which this says was "rumoured" to be completed. Way of the Warrior has no business being on the list, but the rest are all deserving. I'm rather ...

Last week or so I mentioned I was going to type up the Top Ten 3DO games according to Retro Gamer magazine here in the UK. The monthly magazine is a bit pants, but their "Videogames Hardware Handbook", looking at all gaming platforms between 1977 and 1999 was excellent and includes this list. It's i...

Thanks Trev, I will do! Have spent yesterday and today catching up with family and some friends (and that amazing Doctor Who tonight!!) and have done quite a bit of reading of the 3DO Magazine Gold edition, I've got really sucked into it! But now I'm all ready to settle down, and to be honest I thin...

Going over the original listing and all those wonderful pictures, I was intrigued to see an instruction booklet (I think) with "disposable wrist strap" written on it. And this was HOW many years before Wii?

I got my S-video and stereo audio leads today belive it or not! Only 2 days after I ordered it! The picture is superb and the sound unbelievable out of my TV (it's a 7.5 year old JVC 28" with a brill woofer!) and I'm all ready for a 10-day 3DO holiday from work. :D Just wanted to say thanks for ever...

Sounds like you got a great deal there AntiFreak! Which 3DO machine did you get? And hints and tips on what would you like?

Welcome to the board too, haven't been here long myself either but I'm really enjoying my time here so far.

Mia Sara... sigh. Don't tell the wife. She looks a more than just a little like her. Yes, Moon Patrol was ace, as was Missile Command ( checkout the Jag version for a proper sequel, not the predictable PS1 version) leg room in Pacman to be honest, but I can only play these game standing up. :) 3DOK...

Haha, oh this should so happen! I'd even use RyanAir to get there! THAT'S how much I'd look forward to it!!

Beverly Hills Cop is on. I have this on DVD and could watch it at any time, but here I am watching it yet again with advert breaks all the way through!

a 3DO meet with alcohol induced games of Return Fire and Twisted, Schweet. 8) Sounds great doesn't it? That's what was missing when I had a 3DO before, having friends around for lots of multiplayer action! (and the beer.) I'm British, in Cambridge. I think there are a fair few of us to be honest wi...

It sounds good to me! It's always nice when they list the impedance. Yes you only need regular stereo cables for the audio. I'm guessing that "true 75-Ohm impedance" is a good thing then lol! Please be patient with me, new to all this lol! I use S-Video. It is a little sharper. Particularly if you ...

A 3DO meet would be cool, but yeah.. everyone's pretty far from one another. There does seem to be a wide and varied selection of locations on here I have to say! But just for curiousity, how many regular users here are also from the UK? Oh, and the Republic of Ireland, our land masses are connecte...

Wow thanks everyone for all your help! Don't think I want to mod these 3DOs, maybe if I buy some more in the future but I've never done anything like that before and don't wana screw it up. But... I think the S-Video cables are the way to go. Thanks for the link but he doesn't supply outside the US ...
