3DO ZONE Forums

All of which proves there are people in this world with waaaaaaaaay too much spare time on their hands ( and that includes you Nikex for finding them)

Bingo! They seem to think that bootleggers would buy their games if they couldn't copy them. I've always believed that the guys who copy/bootleg do it because they can not because they specifically want something No gamer minds paying a reasonable price for box art , manuals etc if the games worth i...

Once again some good points both for and against from windowskiller. Yes 2 x cd drives do less work and are less stress than music drives But............. [/quote]And finally, the 3DO filesystem has a very clever design that avoids seeking whenever possible, stressing the mechanics much less than IS...

The main problem is consumers will not pay a premium price for something that really needs to be over engineered Although heat is an issue it doesn't explain why a 3do's cd drive will outlast most music CD drives. I've sighted the example previously of the original blu ray players already outlasting...

The original xbox always reminded me of an FZ-1

Rumour has it that the bulk of the cagenet (3do III) team ended up at MS

coincedence?

I love conspiracies!

wow the guy who actually uploaded this should get the playstation kid's (sorry 3do kid's) seal of approval!

I didnt know whether to laugh or cry

Oh well what hurts us makes us stronger

Maybe he is a closet Atariyan

We might have been wrong about him being Trip maybe he is really Nolan Bushnell! or now on Sony's payroll

Thats got to be it

Burn your playstations now!

I think the british pound's disappearing act is conspiracly aligned to our illustrious moderator forsaking us for the Playstation. :wink: Good point though - I thought it was the US who got us all into this mess and yet our Australian Dollar dropped 30% ? Only a couple of months ago it was nearly 1:...

Cooooooooool! RGB output if stable would rock

Now all you need to do is make it go to 11

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Who stole the kid and where is he! I demand the truth! Blaaaasphamyyyyy! I knew it must have been a sign when cleaning out some old boxes out fell my old playstation 1. I hadn't laid eyes on it for four years! Ye Gods were telling me something. No I must r...

I'll say it again - plumbers as bad as it was - was not as bad as doom! Why do I hear you say? Plumbers was never meant to be anything other than an adolescent boys powerpoint presentation. Doom however had been around for nearly 2 years by the time 3do got it.3do's hardware was full of tricks unava...

Well put! 8) I miss FMV - I think in an effort to shake off the bad memories game producers forgot the good. FMV does have its place when done well - especially as communications on view screens like shockwave and wing 3 - whilst the game is running. This ability was pretty much not available to mos...

I give up! - just sent my hard copy to trev - maybe he'll have better luck!

mmmmmmmmmmm maybe its a size issue (snigger snigger) but they are in word format - Ill try again in the next few days as pdf and see if it works - I've had this problem before with both hotmail & google mail but no probs usually with outlook. ps you're a brave man publicly listing your email address...

tried again a couple of days ago - once again no undelivered message ?

Just tried again - fingers crossed

Thanks bitrate - I did email pics to the Kid but I know how things are at this time of year! First I've seen of issue 15 anywhere did they actually get to finish off or were they cut off like in the cd32 case? I emailed 3do kid some of the more interesting bits from the edition I hope they were rece...

I currently own an FZ-1 & Sanyo unit - both are very solid and give me no issues despite their age. I owned a goldstar back in the day and it gave me nothing but greif - the game compatibility issues do exist on the early ones and the ribbon cable constantly pinches between the tray and the motherbo...

just type in "preecha 3do "in google and look at the posts - you'll see what I mean!

Had seen some references to him/her/it in previous posts so I looked them all up to see what him/her/it was all about ................ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: We have a sayin...

Welcome aboard!!

Earls Court ! meh too many Aussies hang out there!

Help yourself to some old posts here to get a feel of what we're about

and ENJOY

Its hard for anything to compare to Alone - other than written text its the only media to have captured Lovecraft's themes intact. I can't think of one movie that truly captured the cthulos mythos as well as this game did. I think many Japanese games can be considered art - I'm quite partial to game...

emailed the photos to the Kid today! as for issue 15 I don't believe it exists even though details are mentioned in issue 14. Unfortunately the same thing happened with the teams CD32 mag. According to the guys at the amiga forums their mag was canned without any notice at all - no final issue , no ...

I have at least one early dvd player that will not give up and a couple of cd players - I just think that when something is relatively new it tends to be over engineered - take blu ray for example - I have one of the first Sony units playing non stop in the store - no issues - the current batch from...

no worries , will do it in next couple of days

unfortunately I think that is exactly what happened.I don't think the price was too out there for our market though as we were already paying that sort of money for cd32 , vcr's and high end cd players here. The fact that there are so many FZ-1's still up and running is tribute to the fact that corn...

A great game with friends while under the influence , otherwise no , I much preferred Zhadnost but what is amazing is that both games still look fresh now , have hardly dated and hold up amazingly well to all who participate.I find them a fantastic way to convert non believers to 3do's attraction. I...

If someone can tell me what program is best to upload/insert scans on this forum I'll be happy to oblige!

Its a tough one to call - back in those days even the major companies relied on mum & dad (mom & pop - for our US readers) distributors for their products in secondary regions. I mean if it were your own money at stake would you play it safe and see what happens in the rest of world or go out on a l...

I feel better that he now looks older than 25 - for a while he was just scaring me! If you're out there Trip I'd just like to say thanks for the memories! Success isn't always measured by $$ but often by imitation Broad appeal casual gaming and hard core gaming in one console!! Just wish you could'v...
