Re: 3DO Firsts?
Naah, there were a bunch of region-free consoles before the 3DO. Intellivision, Vectrex, and Game Boy are three that come to mind, and games from any region work on any console (with the exception of a couple Intellivision games which are buggy on PAL systems, and were reissued to fix the problem). Atari 2600 also had no region lockout, though it did have PAL/NTSC display issues.3DOKid wrote:- Region Free?
Did any other console offer polygonal/textured 3D at 30 fps before the 3DO?
