Forgone modern gaming for 3DO
I'll admit, that I abandoned 3DO gaming for modern shinanigry in the past year. Bit for some reason, since May this year, all I have played is 3DO. Star Blade, Immercenary, Gex and NFS. It actually makes me happier.
Same here. I got stuck in a mind-numbing MMO for a while there, but uninstalled it when I realized how much time that damn thing was eating.
I keep checking the Kid's blog to no avail
Do you need some new titles 3DOKid? I haven't counted to verify, but it looks like you have covered about... I don't know... 65% to 70% of 3DO titles.

I was doing a lot of 3DO gaming early-on in the year, Jan and Feb. Since then it's been bouncing back and forth between other systems I have picked up.. Sega/Mega CD, 7800, INTV, SNES, etc.. Haven't done much "modern" gaming, per-se, but I have been playing some PS2 fighters again with friends and have been getting into some more modern shmups..
Forgo modern gaming for 3do? Hmmm interesting proposition.
My mind is filled with images of 3do aficionados in their 3do Monastery obsessing over various 3do novelties. Discussing oddities. What IF M2 came to the market. What a glorious day that would have been. I wish there was such a place I'm sure 3dokid is going to open such a haven someday.

Well, I've got Quarantine coming in the mail. I just picked up Lemmings with the mouse last week. I still have Icebreaker sitting in my system currently unfinished (I should probably get back to working on completing that). I suppose after picking up a few more titles I will have to make some room to bring out the FZ-10 again.

I agree. Texture mapping is the norm now, but seeing it in the home for the first time was amazing. That said, some of the old 8/16bit machines had given it a go but there was nothing quite like seeing NFS or Wing Commander III for the first time. We take too much for granted...UK3DOFAN wrote:Yes like modern gaming to be honest.Forza is sterile
Nothing beats the 93 to 98 period for gaming, the excitement over the first consoles able to do texture mapped polygons, PC 3D graphic cards etc.

This, without a doubt! 3do, Jaguar, Saturn, Playstation, N64 and all the advancements with the PC format. My favourite generation by far!UK3DOFAN wrote:Yes like modern gaming to be honest.Forza is sterile

Proud owner of a 3DO FZ-1!

I remember when all the boys were playing FryCry I would tell them if they wanted to see a real game to look at my machine. I would put on Unreal and that intro would make their jaws hit the floor. Then when I'd play and they'd see the volumetric lighting....... oh yeah!

To confirm what I already knew, I bought Forza 3, and it sucks and is sterile and is a chore. Just as I knew it would be. So, I've been playing OffWorld Interceptor. Which isn't great, but using the money cheat does pep it up a little. At least after 15 years ownership of a game that cost £40, I'm getting a little value out of it finally.
