Can someone recommend some import titles
Hey all, I was a big 3DO fan back in the day and as a 2nd time 3DO owner I am starting a new collection. I am very familiar with the domestic releases, but unfamiliar with imports. Can someone recommend some import titles that I should become familiar with. Thanks.

All of what Kid listed are good choices, Virtual Cameraman is for looking at girls BTW. I would also like to add some of my favorites that he didn't mention. I wish I could suggest Yu Yu Hakusho because I love the series but this game is not very good. go with the first SNES version
D's Diner Director's Cut
Battle Pinball
Blue Forest Story Monogatari (if you read Japanese)
Crayon Shin-Chan Puzzle Daimaou no Nazo (Kure Yon Shin Chan)
Deep Blue Fleet (I really don't recall this but I think others like it)
Fireball !!
Hello Kitty Toy Box (ok maybe not)
Montana Jones
N.O.B. - Neo Organic Bioform
Policenauts (if you read Japanese)
Seal of the Pharaoh.iso
Super Street Fighter II X - Grand Master Challenge
Wacky Races
Wacky Races 2 - In Space
The Yakyuuken Special (for simple pervertedness)
D's Diner Director's Cut

Belzerion is one of the best imports I've played, and I was able to finish it w/out any knowledge of the japanese tongue. Not all that rare either.
A few others that have not been mentioned ...
Ultraman - Gorgeous 2d fighter w/short shooting segments also.
Takeru - Not a game, but a digital comic book w/some interesting artwork. Press the A button is all you need to know.
Murphy's Law (TV) - Option to switch the language to full english is available
I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting which I'll add if & when I think about them. Check 3DOKid's reviews (that's what I do)

Yes, some of WARP's games. Flopon the Space Mutant (predecessor to Trip'D), Flopon World (mini-game collection with a pseudo RPG-SHMUP), and Short WARP (another mini-game collection, but with a lot more variety).
Tower of Puzzle is another one (not by WARP though). It's a traditional mind-teazer puzzler. Completely in English, too. Seems to be fairly rare though, I've only seen it pop up twice when I've been looking.

Never played, but here are 3DOKid's comments from the old import sticky ...
I also don't see Royal Pro Wrestling mentioned much, so I'll mention it now. An import very worthy of consideration.
Ghost hunter series.- Story and menu's in Japanese - however, it's suprising how far you can get not being able to read or speak the language. Score 3.
- Easy enough to play. Pressing the icons and seeing what happens actually works - difficult but not impossible. Score 3. ( Go - on! Import it for the box art!)

Most wanted - Eye of Typhoon, 3DO Magazines issues #14 & #15, Pro Stadium, Defcon 5
