3DO Experience wrote:Ha the last movie I saw was The Muppets.

OOOH. THE NEW ONE? HOW IS IT? I really wanted to see that one but I couldn't ever get the time to swing to the theater. I love the Muppets.

I thought about seeing it until I saw all the hype around it. Maybe I'll wait until the end of its run when the theaters will be empty.. :lol: Seriously though, it peaked my interest slightly. Gave me the notion that maybe it was sort of an Americanized "Battle Royale". Man that movie was messed up...

Drat. I don't have a PS3 and I certainly don't want to spend five hundred bucks just to play a cricket game. I'll put that in my "Someday. Someday..." folder though. Thanks for the heads up. I recommend picking up a reconditioned launch model if you ever want modern gaming, the launch model plays p...

Anyway, what did you think of the flick then, Trev? I haven't heard what anyone's opinions are on the movie yet. Much better than I thought it would be actually. I went in w/low expectations really ... I hadn't heard too much about it (surprisingly) and my wife picked it, but I thought it was good....

I'll probably end up seeing it at some point in the near future. A buddy of mine absolutely loved the books and he's been pumped about the movie for a while. If I hadn't heard of the books and they used the same trailer that they are now, there would be no chance in Hell that I was see it. The trail...

So I've never been a big fan of sports games. I've got nothing against them, I just can't play them very long without getting bored. From what I've seen, played, and heard from other people though, the sports games on 3DO are generally pretty good. I've played FIFA and Madden and I used to really en...

3DO Experience wrote:Wow, I've found most people reverse your last two pro & con.

Yeah, I remember playing this game a couple weeks back and thinking how awesome the soundtrack was. Maybe you gotta have a metal background?

awful "generic" disco-y funk music that doesn't ever change Couldn't get past the 1st level huh? The music does indeed change, starting with level 2. :wink: Yeah, I'll admit. I got to world... 1-3, I think? I got that stupid wig and the pants and then I couldn't take it anymore. I take it you've ma...

I'm a really big Futurama fan. It's probably one of my favorite television shows that's ever aired. Among the many fantastic quotable lines from the show, the following little conversation has always stuck with me. Fry: Why is everyone wearing those rings? Amy: Guh! Because nobody wears them anymore...

Some people might think topics like this are useless, but I like knowing what 3DO games are floating around. I just picked up the Japanese version of Furopon the Space Mutant, but nothing new for me besides that, I only even did it because I can't find a darned image online and it's one of the bett...

I really liked the original Mass Effect and I don't remember anything too bad. There is a blue alien dancer in the bar that has some risque moves but she is clothed, however skimpily, and it's not necessary to view. There is a part in the game, which I can't remember if it's required to do or not, w...

Along the same lines, I've noticed that the copy of Star Fighter that I own has a different box from what I've seen online. How many different variant releases (for the same region, of course) are there on 3DO games? I've heard of different boxes for Street Fighter and Burning Soldier. Is there any...

Before I start here, I wanna apologize if these things have been brought up before. I tried using the search function and came up with no results so here goes! I recently bought a Goldstar 3DO from a store in town here. It was good timing, as my FZ-10 was starting to run into some annoying issues an...

In short, developers had to adhere to limitations and standards imposed by 3DO in order to ensure that the games they developed would be compatible on every 3DO unit. I think that's how it went, anyway. Huh! Ya learn something new every day, I guess. It makes sense, I guess. It's probably the only ...

3DO Experience wrote:You also have to take into consideration that people weren't allowed to write directly for it's hardware. So it could do more than what we've seen.

What do you mean by this? I'm unfamiliar with this.

A couple weeks ago I payed for a 3DO and a bunch of odds and ends. About 10 controllers, 2 mice, 2 joysticks, a bunch of boxed games (only one sealed: Immercenary). 80 games in total. I'm unsure which are of significant value. The main reason I got it was for the joysticks. I'm going to try to emul...

But SNES port is downgraded one... could 3DO handle with arcade perfect? And maybe I'm wrong and SF3 / Garou aren't impossible for 3DO after some sacrifices? I'm really not too familiar with arcade hardware or anything, so I can't say either way that Alpha would be tough, but it'd be a heckuva lot ...

1. FPS: I how how terrible 3DO Doom port was but the reason of its failure would lie in bad optimalization instead of console's weakness. So could 3DO handle with early full 3D shooters like Quake, Terminator: Future Shock / Skynet, Goldeneye 64, Jedi Knight or Turok? Or at least, with the most adv...

I've been on an insane buying spree lately. In the past week, I've picked up the following: Total Eclipse (SO FREAKING HARD BUT SO MUCH FUN) Shockwave Putt-Putt Joins The Parade PaTaank Offworld Interceptor The week prior, my buddy was out of town and came back with a bunch of rad stuff for me too. ...

But I was reading up on it some more and seems that some places will not sell games if it does not contain a rating. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the major console companies nowadays require that any commercial release carries an ESRB rating and that rating can be at max M. There was that pretty big fiasc...

This is just speculation, but I would assume that the law had not been put out that require the games to have ratings. It was probably right around the corner though and it would probably be better at that point to show that you support the idea of game ratings rather than do nothing. Not only that...

Cruising through the archives is fun! There are neat old threads like this! Nothing like a little thread necromancy, huh? Star Control 2 – God himself wonders why he didn't make this before Toys for Bob. Dragon's Lair – I PRESSED UP. NOW I GOTTA WAIT. AGAIN. Wing Commander 3 – How I imagine the futu...

Yeah, it actually seems like a pretty solid game. I'm by far not who was intended to play it obviously. A mid-twenties unkempt single dude playing Putt-Putt? I might as well buy a windowless van and offer free candy to the neighborhood kids. Either way, it's definitely got Ron Gilbert's touches in i...

So I picked up Putt-Putt Joins The Parade yesterday because I am a sad sad dude. It's one that came packed in with the Goldstar model back in the day and I was flipping through the manual and I noticed that it uses a picture of the Goldstar controller, logo and all, instead of the usually more gener...

Silentman wrote:And how about this pad?

That can't be a legit 3DO controller, can it? It's gotta be a mislabeled Master System controller.

I haven't played Brain Dead 13 in years, so I can't judge that specifically, but yeah, most of those games are like that. I decided to beat Dragon's Lair a few months back out of years of resentment of not understanding it as a kid. I beat it and I had some fun, but it was mostly "GRRRR THAT DOESN'T...

So, how does one get lucky enough to come across two copies of Eye of Typhoon? You must have some kind of Voo Doo Ju Ju Bone going on there, man! Luck and tireless searching. :wink: Tireless... endless... searching. I know the feeling. Been the dame way with some of my Pegasus items! So I suddenly ...

Jones wrote:How about the 3DO version - are your copies also V1.0?

I can confirm mine is 1.0 as well. It's been driving me nuts too, heh.
