The 3DO topic
Just got back into 3DO gaming.
There truly werent that many great games for the 3Do that can be played today.
Total Eclipse just may be the best game for the entire system
Every other title was groundbreaking in the early 90s simply because of FMV and sound.
Luciens Quest is a cool RPG with weird graphics
Guardian War would have been ground breaking bak then, now its just weird
Demolition Man is awesome just hard as balls.
Im into the FMV shooters so I probably will play Crime Wars 1 and 2 today

I own and would never give up the 3DO versions of Burning Soldier, Crash N Burn, Flashback, Gex, Need for Speed, Novastorm, Primal Rage, Road Rash, Samurai Shodown, Shock Wave 1+2, Starblade, Star Control II, Star Fighter, Star Wars Rebel Assault, Total Eclipse and Wing Commander III. I also aim to pick up Super Street Fighter 2, The Horde, Alone in the Dark 1+2, Battle Chess, Braindead 13, Cyberia, D, Madden, Killing Time, MegaRace, Myst, Offworld Interceptor, Out of This World, PO'ed, Return Fire, Sewer Shark, Stellar 7, Super Wing Commander, Wacky Races 1+2, and Wolfenstein 3D.
I'm not sure how you define "great games," but the above is as much or more games than I will ever own for my SNES or NES. I don't care whether or not a game looks or plays like games do on HD consoles or PCs today, I just care whether they were well made and relatively glitch free when they were released. If it weren't for the console's original retail price, I would have picked these up years ago and I consistently regret not snagging a 3DO for $40 at Best Buy back in 1997. I really like the 3DO library, it's like a blend of suped up Sega CD FMV combined with a 386 PC from the time.

iv'e not very long got myself a 3do fz 1 console and i got 2 games cannon fodder and super street fighter 2. i cant comment on game play yet as i'm still waiting to find a joypad in the uk which isn't stupidly expensive but i must say street fighter looks awesome and the sound quality for it is amazing best iv'e heard.

I've always discounted the 3DO. It was ungodly expensive and didn't get a ton of software support. But I have to admit that it's a nice machine and it does have some interesting games on it. If I weren't averse to collecting for another system, I'd be tempted to pick one up:)

I can play there best fighting game on my Saturn and it's even better on there.

I have a 3DO FZ-1. The only game I have is Crash N Burn, which isn't really that great of a game. I've always wanted to get my hands on Gex. I loved that wise-ass gecko on the Nintendo 64 so I'd really like to try his first game out.

Out Of This World... BEST VERSION EVER!!! Worth getting a 3DO just for that game!!!
-
Is there something special about the 3DO version of Out of this World? I wasn't aware of any changes.

I still don't get why so many people bash the 3DO. Sure, it failed miserably on the market, but at least it had many worthwhile games, unlike, say, the CDi. It's the same with the Jaguar, although that one had an horrendous controller.
It has the best versions of games like MegaRace and Cannon Fodder available. It's where Need for Speed was born. If it hadn't been for Way of the Warrior, the Crash series would have never existed.
The 3DO rules.

IMO the Jag's controller is a lot better than the 3DO, especially that terrible daisy chaining idea. I also own a CD-i and its not as bad as as people make out but the 3DO is definately better.
-
I bought a 3do with a bunch of games last year, and quite frankly I was surprised at how much I enjoyed a lot of the games. Wing Commander 3 is definately my favorite, best version of the game imo.
I still haven't played a lot of the games I got, I need to plug it up.
-
The 3Do just happens to have one of the better 32 bit Madden games. Well ahead of it's time, with good gameplay, and a shitload of awesome NFL Films FMV.
-
I had a lot of fun with Lucienne's Quest and SSFIIT. I was dying to play a RPG with 3D graphics at the time and LQ was the perfect entry level game.

Sewer Shark, Rebel Assault.. Best versions ever were on the 3DO!
