3DO at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 1995
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2015 12:47 pm
I'm reading GamePro's feature on this trade show, and the 3DO section comes with a couple surprises. First of all, Goldstar was demonstrating "some cool-looking mock-ups of an M2 and a 3DO portable." I though the M2 was strictly a Panasonic deal!
Here's the list of games that were on display, with the most surprising entries in bold.
Alone in the Dark 2
Ballz: The Director's Cut
Blade Force
Defcon 5
Hell
PO'd
Policenauts
Primal Rage
Shock Wave 2
Solar Eclipse
Zhadnost: The People's Party
Defcon 5 is listed as being from LG (Goldstar). I guess they were originally planning on a bit more 3DO software support than they ended up providing.
This is the first I've heard of Solar Eclipse, one of my all-time favorite games, having a 3DO version in the works. Quite a shocker.
And am I correct in thinking that Policenauts being present at a North American trade show implies that the 3DO version was getting an English localization?
Also, I wonder why Snow Job was a no-show, given that they'd already been putting out print ads for the game.
