I don't know much about a 3DO and eBay seames to jump from 35$ to 150$ depending on the games, but I have no idea what the good/pricey games are so my question is does anything stand out in this listing to make it a good deal or not?

I can't tell much from the pics and I'm waiting on a list of games.

not sure but I like how he mentions how much they were new. Seems pointless to mention how much it was, that system is like 15 years old.

I'd say that it's a good deal. You're getting 16 games (almost all in the boxes) + the system and some controllers. There aren't any pricey games that I can see, but I think you're getting Wing Commander III, which is one of the best games on the system in my opinion (top right?). I could be wrong on which one that is.

Games:
Family Feud
John Madden Football
Road Rash
The Daedalus Encounter
Flashback
The Need for Speed
Total Eclipse
Mega Race (loved this on PC)

Those are the ones I can make out easily.

It also depends on what you want to do w/ it. I sold a 3DO and a bunch of games that weren't in as nice a condition on Amazon for around $150~200 (don't remember now offhand how much I got for it).

HA! Yea at lest he's not asking for new price like alot of people do!

Some other games he mentions that were not listed above:
D
alone in the dark 1 and 2

This will be for me as a player/collector more as a player, not that in to MIB and all that.

game list was:
Alone in the dark (no long box)
Alone in the dark 2 (with 1&2 in long box)
The San Diego zoo presents The Animals (long box with price tag of 60$ O_O)
Crash 'n Burn (no long box)
D (no long box)
Daedalus Encounter (with long box)
Family Feud (with long box)
Flashback (with long box)
Madden Football (don't care)
Mega race (with long box)
Need for Speed (with long box)
Psychic Detective (with long box)
Road Rash (with long box)
Total Eclipse (with long box)
Wing Commander 3 (with long box can't find my pc copy so this is bad ass)

The 16th game was a sampler that I think came with the system but all in all I think it was worth 70$ (got him down 5$ after I told him how far I had to go to get to his house, it sucks to live in the boondocks)

Crash 'n Burn and Sampler CD were pack-ins with the system, and came in jewel cases FYI.

yea thought it was something like that, by the way does anyone know if there is a memory device that will work on the US system?(all I can find are Jap or will they work) Only room for about 8 saves on board that will not work with my play habits.

The Japanese memory device will work on the US system, but they're pricey. I recommend you track down Game Guru. With a special code, it unlocks a whole bunch of extra capabilities -- one of which is to compress your save files (but note that they have to be decompressed again to use them, but it's handy for keeping lots of saves around).

WOW thanks for the info did not know that something like that was out there but i cant find a "real" copy on the interweb what do they go for? I found a couple of the Jap memory unit for a little over 100$+shipping so maybe 150~170$ shipped is that a good price or what should they go for?
