I didn't realize Escape From Monster Manor gets so many bad reviews. One of my favorite reviewers, The Video Game Critic gave it a positive review. If it'll make any of ya'll feel better, you can check it out here.

Yeah, I like being able to have access to any level I've reached without having to keep two dozen save files. Plus, I don't have to worry about the many ways that save files can be lost. Finally, I can play the same game on any console or emulator without going through the complicated process of tra...

Yeah, it's tough for me to include the XBOX and XBOX 360 ports when considering the best "home" version available, because it's clear they are straight PC conversions. Then again, why play some of the older ones when you have these? For novelty's sake, I suppose.. :lol: Well, there's the alternate ...

Dumb question: I've never seen the word "mark" used in this sense before. What's the definition? Is it in essence interchangeable with "fanboy/fangirl"?

Regarding the Saturn version, it is a botched port of the PlayStation version. It's the same game, but has a horrible framerate in areas (mostly the wide open stages, like in parts of DOOM II and towards the end of Ultimate DOOM), and it has a mildly-tolerable framerate on the indoor areas. There a...

Actually, Quarantine was released on the PS1, under the title "Hard Rock Cab".

Unfortunately, I'm of no help as far as your main problem goes.

I still keep going back to Icebreaker. Even though it can be aggravating at times, it's so addictive and there's so many levels to check out. I also love that they named the climactic level 30 after one of my all-time favorite novels. Gonna have to find me a couple hours where I can read through the...

I'm afraid of spoilers.

I've played through it a couple times now. Ended with "Maximum Eric" the first time, then with "Pretty Bracelet". I understand what the reviewer on Gamespot meant about the plot being difficult to follow, but I think he's completely wrong about it being due to the gameplay. It's a typical case of co...

I figure I might as well try reiterating this question, since I didn't get any answer that I noticed:

Martin III wrote:Also, I'd heard Slayer has a memory manager. How do I get to it?

If there's one shortcoming in the set of four games that came with my first 3DO, it's that there are no FMV-heavy games among them. Being in a bit of a rush to rectify that, I purchased this game for cheap online. It just came in the mail today. Just curious what everyone else's opinions on the game...

Wow, a great bunch of answers here! Thanks, guys! 8) i do have The Horde on the Saturn and 3DO and i like the Saturn version more, and only play that one, mainly because of the save bug on the 3do version, and i like Saturns controllers I already have the Saturn version of the Horde(didn't even real...

Before I got a 3DO, I had just assumed I would go with the Saturn version of any game appearing on both consoles that caught my interest. After all, I am a Saturn fanatic, and enjoying seeing the system at work even on the less proud members of its games library. However, now that an actual 3DO is s...

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask in this thread's original post... I tried "load" on Slayer just to see what sort of saves the previous owner had on the machine, and was taken immediately to the dungeon. So is Slayer absolutely limited to one save slot? Also, I'd heard Slayer has a memory manager. How do I ...

The Saturn controller essentially slots into your hands; with the FZ-01 you have to actually clutch the grips. Like I said, though, it is a good controller, just not as good as the Saturn's. I really like the shoulder buttons; neither too big nor too subtle.

Actually, SCII has an epic story! Seriously, you'll be blown away. 8) Awesome! Star Control II was already one of the 3DO games I was most looking forward to, due to what I've heard about the gameplay and it being a Crystal Dynamics game. Even better if it has a good story! I definitely liked retur...

Thanks, guys!

Now that I've had my 3DO for a few days and have been fooling with some of the games that came with it, I thought I'd share my first impressions. I love the look and feel of the console itself; very professional. Only problem is, where's the reset button? The controller's decent. It has the same ele...

I reckon it's time I introduced myself. If it hasn't become apparent in my posts so far, I'm a Saturn fanatic, so you can expect to become sick of me comparing 3DO games to Saturn games in the same genre before long. :wink: Never heard of the 3DO back in the day, as I had no interest in video games ...

I bet the 3DO could have handled Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV no problem. i think it did : http://www.evilbay.com/itm/ROMANCE-THREE-KINGDOMS-IV-3DO-NEW-/330595839371#ht_569wt_1398 Ah, that makes sense. I should have thought to check under the game's Japanese title(San Goku Shi IV). Thanks for t...

I bet the 3DO could have handled Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV no problem.

I figure it must have been at least a year after the Jaguar's launch. Otherwise, why would they have proceeded with development for the Jaguar CD hardware and software? Also, I have to go with mainstream wisdom on the subject and say that the Jaguar's last chance at cutting it was the 1994 holiday s...

Never mind; the problem's solved. I don't know how it got solved, but the unit's working fine now. I'm ready to play some 3DO!

Well, I've got a problem. The 3DO came in the mail an hour before my leaving on a short trip, so I thought I'd just see if the drive door works. I plug it in, not realizing that the power button is in the "on" position, and the unit starts making a high-pitched whining. I've never seen a 3DO in the ...

Yeah, my post was a response to my own inner doubts as much as to anything posted by anyone else.

I meant to reply to this months ago but forgot... and this forum looks like it could stand some necro-posting. My most hated moment of all of Angry Video Game Nerd vids is when he talked about the Power Glove. My god, he actually thought that every game had code for it!!! There are like 5 basic code...

Thanks for the quick responses, guys! I did go ahead and bid on it. Yeah, the price is probably slightly higher than the set is worth, but as bitrate said, it helps that these were games I was looking for. I've been searching for a 3DO for months now, and before this every listing I looked at either...

In my continued quest for my first 3DO, I just came across this Ebay listing , which ends in a mere six hours. It's an FZ-1, my model of choice, and comes with four games, including two of the five 3DO games which interest me most, Guardian War and Slayer. But despite what strikes me as a fairly rea...

Ah well. Not too surprising to hear that it was a mistake on the seller's part, but I had to be sure. Thanks for the quick answers, guys.

I was just doing my semi-regular search for an attractive 3DO bundle on Ebay, when I found a listing which includes, along with the 3DO console itself and four other games, a game called "Burn Cycle Mission Briefing". What's this "Mission Briefing"? You can see in the photo that the cover of the gam...
