This is the list of games that I had with the 3DO


Rogue Trooper

Space Hulk on 3DO said to be graphically better than the PS1 version.

Only ever played PS1 version, but fantastic game.

You need Return Fire+Starfighter on 3DO, Bladeforce looked fantastic for the system as well.

Shadowrunner

You got some good games with it, Just don't play Virtuoso first, you may regret your purchase  :21:
Some others I would recommend would be Total Ecplise, Wing Commander 3, and all the Shock Wave games are great!

Awesome scans  :113:
I'm very surprised by that Virtuoso score as it seems really high for that game but the rest of them seem about right to me.

Rogue Trooper

Not a review, but not starting thread just for it:

Mentioned in GG thread SEGA ads 'dissing' the GB, seems 3DO not afraid to try similar:

Us Advert had a shot of a wooden box, piano music playing Twinkle Twinkle, Little star playing in background, into the box gets thrown: a SNES, followed by a MD, then a MCD, voice over:If your not playing with 3DO system, what are you playing with?.Lid slamns shut to reveal TOYS stamped on it.

Nice!!!!

The last lot that I have, no idea what happened to the second part of the Wing Commander 3 review or the first part of the Star Control 2 review - I will post them up here if I come across them.

Quote from: "The Laird"Some bits from C&VG:





Ahh.Nice to see you've used the M2 hype shots scrapbook page from those i sent you.

For those not overly familar with the M2 fiasco:

The 3DO company unveiled it's M2 technology at E3 in 1995 along with a stunning collection of video sequences showcasing just how powerful the technology was...only...it was all utter B.S.

All 3Do had done was to commission 'Kronos' (who'd done Eternal Champions' for Sega) to produce a string of pre-rendered sequences...

Something Sony was very fond of doing with PS2 and later PS3.......
