3DO ZONE Forums

This forum software is kind of archaic..

I haven't figured out a way to mark a specific forum as read without going to every thread. If anyone knows, I'd be curious if there's a way to do it.

Yeah. I guess there is a reason why the term, "collectard", is actually a thing.

(some guy from Id Software claims Wolfenstein 3D and Doom had a 1:1 attach rate on the Jaguar) He's probably mistaken. There are official Atari documents that show official sales numbers, and I believe no game outside of T2K and AVP had more than a 25% attach rate (about 50,000 units of the 200,000...

Completely. Except for some menus and dialogues, the rest of the game is the same. OK, thanks for the reply! How much would I miss out on, then? For some reason, the North American release is impossible to find on eBay lately. You could have a walkthrough of one of the USA versions by your side, ty...

Crash 'n Burn is hard to get into. I remember thinking it kind of an odd one when I first played it, but stuck with it and after a while it just "clicked" and I started tearing through the game. Although, I never did finish it--it gets pretty difficult later on in the game. I need to revisit it on s...

It was on Saturn and PS1 as well, so yeah, 1,000,000 copies across 3 consoles seems easy enough to believe. Only issue with this is that by July 1995, the PSX hadn't been released in North America yet, and thus Gex wasn't available on it (I don't think it came to Saturn until a little bit later eit...

Meh.

May as well bump this, took me a little while to find the thread through search. Lots of good info here.

Oh wait, I'm an idiot.. It was stickied. Just not in the sub-forum I thought it would be in. Ha!

No one visits this forum anymore. Well, except the two that posted above.

I think if you are a fan of the original, the quality is great. Get it. If you weren't, then.. well, you're not missing out on much. If you haven't played it, watch some videos online to see if it's in-line with your tastes. I personally don't care much for that kind of Euro shmup, but people who gr...

Good deal then. Looks like living down under has its advantages. :) Well its very little to do with that, i bought it from Japan on ebay! Anyone couldve done the same ;) Really? OK, in that case I guess you got lucky then. Everything I see from Japan is $150 - $200 before shipping (then tack anothe...

I replaced the drive in my FZ-1 and since then it has not been able to read CD-r discs, so I will be unable to test this. Aw man, sorry to hear this. But can it still play official games though ? You might want to try rubbing the laser with some alcohol, if you have not already done that. Sometimes...

They typically sell for more, so that always equated to me as being more sought after than other models.

Neat. Seems like it would redundant though considering US 3DO consoles are fairly common. I wouldn't want to mess with something less common like the TRY. But, hey, at least we know it works now.

There's also a glitch when networked where a player can have music playing in-game at the cost of all sound effects. I forget how to trigger it but a friend and I did it back in the day. Fun times. I'd like to try this updated ROM but sadly Jag consoles are prohibitively costly now, too much so to j...

I am glad to see you are still working on 3DO development. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, it was the one that was included with the longbox retail version of the game.

I don't know. I just figured it was to better match the longbox/retail packaging. It would be interesting to know if there were subtle fixes made as well.

That big quote in the article is facepalm worthy (unfortunately).

Ha, nice.. I had one of those a few years back. A little uncommon, no doubt. You see the red discs floating around all over the place though, it's like everyone that bought these via retail threw away the boxes or something.

I watched this a while ago, and yeah, it's a great video. Anyone here that is familiar with 3DO DOOM, I highly recommend watching it.

I remember liking the game but didn't give it enough time to get sucked in. I recall one of the things that didn't grab me was that the levels are pretty large and sprawling--it's not as straightforward as a typical top-down, arcade-style shooter. I prefer my shooters like this to be more linear. I ...

Yep, I can vouch for this. This is exactly what happened to my system. Started reading CDrs slower.. and slower.. and.. then it stopped reading all together.

It's been a while since your post, but I think it's still worth it for Xenoblade Chronicles X. I've got a little over 30 hours clocked into it and am only a fraction of the way through the game. There are many other great Wii U games as well, particularly from Nintendo, and several that have been re...

Damnit! Yet another system that's going to need maintenance in the future. Why can't everything be built like a 2600 or a NES? My XBOX has actually been giving me some random issues, but I think they are specifically drive related. I've heard they are a pain to crack open too--is this true? I'd even...

You could try just popping the laser assembly out of the working one and put it in the JP unit. Remember that the laser assemblies just pop right out, so it's kind of hard to mess them up. That could solve the issue where your JP system will close on its own, but the US one won't (i.e., by hitting t...

Can't vouch for Autobahn Tokio personally, although watching videos of it I can say that it looks like it'd be painful to play.

Interesting! It would be great to see if better performance can be had out of this version of DOOM. A playable 3DO DOOM would be awesome!
