Re: Changing the name

Let's go with 'Trip's House', it could be like MTV's 'Run's House' but, um, text based.....of course there's always 'The Hawkins Experience'......

So, what's my prize?

Just to 3DO Forums or the The 3DO Forum or whatever.

I admit that I too never got the 3DO Zone title, not that it ever really mattered though to be honest. But as it's being discussed, yeah... just drop the 'zero'... :)

Re: Recent 3DO Purchases

Not a recent purchase but here's a photo of my 3DO 'Bum Bag' which I realise I hadn't uploaded here yet. Anyone else got one of these? I bought it on eBay from a guy here in the UK who said he used to work for the 3DO promo team. I asked him if he had anything else to which he replied he probably di...

Re: What do you think of the updated forums?

My software won't cleanly convert that PNG to a GIF, it still looks untidy and blocky around the edges. If you want to use a GIF I've done this version which should match the board background:

Re: What do you think of the updated forums?

PNG's are much better in my opinion as they don't have the colour limits GIF files impose. This link explains how to change the image name/type/size/position etc.

If you still need a GIF I will try and convert it again.

Re: What do you think of the updated forums?

With the lack of a logo at the moment, why don't we try and come up with nice shiny new one to match the new forum design? Any artists out there? Here's something I cobbled together:

Re: What do you think of the updated forums?

I quite like the new forums, and now you've changed the layout it's definitely better, much more like the old forums. The logo's missing from the top now though.

Thank you for your reply FUJISAN. So, I'm guessing the wrong disc got put in the wrong case. But do you have any information on the cover artwork? It's a design I've never seen for the 3DO.

Picked this up on eBay the other day and had never seen it before so thought I'd add it to my collection. It's Jikki Pachi-Slot Simulator Vol. 1 (FZ-SJ1667). Anyone got any info on the rarity of this please?

Shootout at Old Tucson

Interesting and mega rare Shootout at Old Tucson just came up on eBay. Is this something even bitrate doesn't own?? I've never seen it on eBay before, would be nice to see some photos of the internal workings of this thing. Pick up only, so that's me out then! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111072253036

Lol +1. I remember so much hype surrounding that game before release, but when I actually got to play it I thought it was pretty terrible, it was like controlling a robot whose batteries were on the way out and submerged in treacle.
