3DO ZONE Forums

is there a limit on how large files can be on megaupload? I have an account, but it's not a pro or gold one (whatever they are called).

Wow, nice!

Doesn't the 3DO also use a higher standard resolution than the Saturn and PlayStation? That would theoretically be why 3D visuals look sharper on the system.

Novastorm on the PlayStation is a different game. Same kind of gameplay, concept, etc., but the video is redone (if I remember right), the firepower is much larger and shoots much more rapidly, etc. As far as the original Need for Speed port, I can't say. I watched the Lazy Game Reviews comparison b...

Yeah, it's definitely impressive for '93.

Torus games, huh? Interesting. They did the first person shooter Ashen for the N-Gage, and I believe they were responsible for some of the FPS ports to the GBA. It certainly would have been nice if Killing Time came out for the PS or Saturn, if only in hopes that the framerate would have been improv...

I was tempted to say the same, but decided to wait for someone else to do it.

Nah, it's definitely rendered with polygons in real-time. Asides from the signature 3DO pixelation on the polygons themselves, the camera angle changes depending on where you are on the track (for instance, you can rock it to the left and the right depending on how far to one side of the track you a...

Ah, bummer. I guess I will have to see about tracking down the PC version (and hope compatibility mode works on the newer operating systems).. Or just play the 3DO version in very small bursts.

I managed to snap onto one of those blue blocks on the ground, which gave me boost, but I couldn't do it again.. I must be doing something wrong. I don't know if you've figured it out by now, but you press A to turn on the magnetos. I honestly haven't even tried since (been playing other 3DO games,...

Just ignore this thread. I was drunk when I posted it (and I still am now when I'm editing it).

I hear the Japanese version of Killing Time has a better framerate. Is this just rumor, or truth? Honestly, I picked up the US version today.. Finally managed to make it inside the mansion, but damn, the framerate gets worse once you get in. What the helllllllll. Seriously. I really want to give thi...

Inception is awesome, period. Wouldn't say it was the best movie in a long, long time, but awesome--Yes. I am anxiously waiting for its DVD release. I haven't looked forward to a DVD movie in a long, long time. My brother and I saw it in the theater twice. I wanted to see it again (I have no life th...

I think I know who's buying the game...

I see that $150, "like new" Lucienne's Quest doesn't come with the instruction manual. Man, I love eBay sellers.

Yeah, supposedly there are some hefty compatibility issues with this pack. There's been a lot of talk of it over at the Steam user forums (where it is also sold). For a penny though, it wouldn't hurt to try it.

I recall there being SMS emulators for the original PlayStation, but they were abysmal at best.. I would maybe think it would be a better idea to start smaller. Maybe the 2600 or something along those lines?

If the 3DO is still hooked up ...? Shame on you! :evil: :wink: Doctor Hauzer is a great choice, its on of my fav imports. Have fun! :) Haha, yeah, I don't have much room (Nor do I have as much time to play as I would like), so I cycle my systems in and out when I feel like playing them. And yeah, p...

This is a neat one with some decent qualities. The sound is fitting I suppose, and the physics are much better than Real Pinball. The tiny, tiny flippers however make it difficult to aim properly (And it's weird getting the ball to shoot up the table appropriately), but with a little practice it see...

I finally got around to trying this out, and while the Japanese style, visuals and some of the tunes appeal to me, the physics in this game are so bad it ruins the experience, completely. It's damn-near impossible to aim the ball, and it feels like you are always trying to push it through water. The...

I decided to pass on Belzerion.. Maybe next payday if the 3DO is still hooked up. Which it probably will be, because I bought Doctor Hauzer instead.

Hm, interesting. Maybe I will think about it. I ended up checking out some videos, but the hefty amount of cutscenes (that I would most-likely not understand even if I tried) is the main deterrent. Well, it's not expensive, maybe $15 *tops* after shipping.. We'll see if I can keep my eBay Buy-It-Now...

What kind of game is Balzerion? I'm curious because it seems to be pretty common (It's on eBay for cheap). Also, while not exclusive to Japan, I imported Escape From Monster Manor. The Japanese version has some cool box art, and asides from a few extra bits of Japanese text on the main menus and int...

Yeah, it would just be a really good racer.

So, I ended up getting the hang of it. Purchased the boost. Some shields. A better machine gun. Over the course of two hours, I ended up making it to the fourth circuit in Tournament mode. And then the CPU opponents decided to up the ante, and kicked my ass. By this point in the game, the drones als...

It's a little pricey IMO, but this site has one for $15. I deal with this place all the time, so I know they are worth doing business with: http://www.estarland.com/3DO.cat.HW.product.14488.html *Edit: I just checked eBay, and all the BIN listings are trying to sell Panasonic controllers for $15+, s...

I could go for some CD-i 7th Guest right about now. Wish I had a good looking 450 just for that purpose.

I kind of like Shadow of the Beast. A lot. But then again, I also like damn-near-impossible games that rely on memorization and split-second timing in order to be completed.

So I just found out that you have to BUY your boosts. Wow.

**EDIT: Nitro boosts cost $12,500?? Uh, big "wtf" here, perhaps? I got first place in the last race and only won $2,900.. Are you serious??

I always assumed the track was textured because it moves left to right as you move the car across the track, it doesn't appear to be streaming fmv. Yeah, and the framerate also fluctuates a bit too, which probably wouldn't be the case if it was steaming video (like Mega Race does it). Any tips on u...
