Ha, definitely don't think anybody is missing much. Most of those have international releases anyways. It was just worth pointing out that only a japanese 3DO has true 100% compatibility with the entire library.Quote:

Eye of the Typhoon 3DO was ported from the unreleased Neo Geo original, that's partly why it went so high...Quote:

Most Korean games are very expensive, prohibitivly so for many collectors, including myself. Many 3DO titles can be expensive, and at my favourite 3DO forum we recently discussed a ridiculously overpriced copy of Lucienne's Quest up now on ebay for $1300. The normal price for this is usually up to 300ish mint in longbox, and around 100-150 with manual in original jewelcase as of late. Another expensive title is Dinopark Tycoon, 400+ and Men dont wear ties (dont ask me why, worst game ever). The Neo might be the traditional system for most high price titles, but the 3DO has its fair share as well.Quote:

So my question is.
Are the Korean games worth looking into from a gaming standpoint or just from the collecting angle?
Hum, difficult, at least for me, to answer with any accuracy as ive only seen some of them on youtube. A few are fighters, others are pretty text heavy, either with the menues or commands, or story based.. I suggest you visit the 3DO forum i go to, and ask there. Ill pm you the url.Quote:

A loose japanese disc could be a fiver maybe. Any other region generally is not.
A complete Japanese 3DO Super Street Fighter II Turbo is about $5 plus shipping.Quote:
