Looking for 3DO games and information, any good sites?

I've been trying to collect up a list of games to check out on 3DO. I have some in mind already, like Road Rash (probably far better than the Saturn version), The Need for Speed, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Samurai Shodown, Alone in the Dark 1 & 2, Return Fire, Star Control II, Wing Commander III, Gex, TIM and Wolfenstein 3D.

Now sure it sounds like I don't need any help, but I want to scour everything the 3DO has to offer, hell I'm even willing to give sports games a try, just to see how much they improve on SNES and Genesis versions. But what I'm specifically after, are point & click adventure games. I'm not looking for any particular titles since I don't know if any made it to the 3DO. But since the Turbo CD had at least LOOM and the Sega CD had Willy Beamish and Secret of Monkey Island, I was hoping there might be some of these types of games on 3DO. I thought the 3DO even had a mouse.

So yeah, I guess this is a game recommendation and info-hunting type of thread, but I'm sort of half way done. Though I would greatly appreciate hearing anything else you guys have to offer. :)

http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthr...Lucienne's Quest I believe remains an English exclusive to the system. Exclusives are really your best bet. Also if you're into Road Rash check the Sega CD (Saturn) vs 3DO RR thread.Btw, congratulations to you and cheaterdragon; to judge your idea of 'crummy' game eqp from your posts and tech ability I'm sure that analogue controller he got is in great shape.

Luccienes Quest.
Iron Age of the Apocalypse
Gex
Samurai Shodown
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Road Rash

Try http://www.3dotoday.com/Frames%201.html Best 3DO site ive seen yet. Youre welcome

Hmm, yes, I'll have to check that one out too. I've heard it's expensive, so I'll just be pirating it. :)

Btw, congratulations to you and cheaterdragon;

Thanks, he's probably gonna love that Saturn. It's in amazing condition. Hardly any scratches on it.

This is why you're on my ignore list.

The 3D controller's analog stick was behaving funny the last time I used it. As in, what the game received from the analog stick was never smooth or consistent. It could be just the controller, I dunno, but I thought I'd tell Cheater at least. It's the only 3D controller I have (well, had) and NiGHTS isn't the same without it, so I bundled them together.

There is hardly anything wrong with my tech ability. Anything "wrong" would just be things I haven't learned yet. I've been able to successfully make a SUPERGUN, something you probably could never do in your whole life, which is getting close to half over since you're 33 years old. :lol: And btw, it's still holding up well. Pretty much all my solder joints are solid.

I think it was a Panasonic, but I got to experience 3DO games on the real hardware. The 3DO version of Wolfenstein 3D was spectacular.

Not sure whether you actually followed that thread since 'Lucienne' somehow got gummed into it: it's an entire topic of 3DO recs. Here, again: http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthr...-me-some-games

Because I'm incapable of saying anything bluntly enough to penetrate your shell? I was quite aware of your supergun, it's why I made the foolish mistake of commending your tech ability with the remark about that controller's crummy shape, ie that you'd be a fussy perfectionist about it (which is better than being an ignoramus or a liar, the options on ebay or at a retro shop), which you obviously are.
Here's an idea: rather than putting people on your ignore list why not learn to understand what they're saying? Otherwise that ignore list will be redundant: just you failing to follow any posts twice over.

Hands down, Star Control 2... LOVE IT. I grew up on the DOS version, which was great, but the 3DO version took everything good about the DOS version and made it better. Get it!

Road Rash 3DO is one of the best Road Rash games IMO also.

This is the video that helped inspired me to get the system in first place:

A few other notables:
-Night Trap. The FMV looks a million times better than the Sega version. It's a very good port.

-Mad Dog. Same as Night Trap. Much better FMV than the Sega versions.

-Plumber's Don't Wear Ties. No don't buy it. It's a little expensive. The laughs you'll have are definitely wroth the price of a CD-R though.

BTW, I noticed something that might help you save a couple of bucks on ebay. Search "3D0 -3DO". Some people think its a zero so the auction is less likely to be noticed. There's nothing good right now, but it's worth saving that in your searches.

Bad game that's worth playing: Immercenary. There's a learning curve at first, but once you realize that it's Spectre with window dressing, it's actually kind of fun.

Bad game that's not worth playing: Shadow: War of Succession. Easily one of the worst games ever released on a console. It plays like someone's first Flash game, and I'm not exaggerating even slightly.

Any information on the multiplayer 3DO games? For instance, what game supported the most players? Which games had any multiplayer support at all?

2P = Way of the Warrior.
Oddly not (simul) 2P = Road Rash.
1P = Policenauts (for me the highlight was far and away jouncing girls' tits), Strahl, Dragon's Lair. PO'ed. Winning Post (if you didn't play this by way of Saturn mod and are going to mod--is that necessary?--your 3DO),
So-Bad-They're.... = Who Shot Johnny Rock?, Sex (really--it's actually from Vivid), Brain Dead (again, if you haven't on Saturn, though this is a cheaper title), Dennis Miller: That's News to Me (*sigh*), Blonde Justice, Endlessly (why would you name your entertainment product this?), and Love Bites.
Games Designed With Amazing Foresight Specifically for Guntz = Cyberdillo.
Also Try = Station Invasion (because I've always wanted to know what it's like: its cover appeals to me).

Wow, that's gone up a bit. It cost me about $5 on ebay not so long ago, and that was $5 too much.

The only good things about the 3DO are built-in memory management (before saturn) and a version of Ballz 3D that doesn't suck. Most 3DO games can already be found on Sega CD, Saturn, Playstation etc. I don't recommend it, but hey, it's your life and money not mine
