Return fire. The horde. Star control II. Night Trap. The daedalus Encounter. Killing Time. Then there's ports of pc games like wing commander, syndicate, theme park etc. but I think 3do wing commander has live action cut scenes and what not and the pc one does not. As far as I know

Anybody else like Guardian Wars? I thought it was pretty good for a simple tactical RPG. I probably clocked more hours on that game than anything else on the 3do

Yuppers, I do. Great game. The games listed were really good too. Does nobody like Dragon Lore? Great stuff on the 3DO for sure. Import Doctor Hauzer as well. Classic Survival Horror Pre Resident Evil. Very cool stuff. Immercenery is awesome as Hell too, but you have to give it time and really learn how to play it. If you do, the game is so worth it and very rewarding.

I forgot about Guardian War. It was a fun game with some awesome music, but sometimes it was tedious doing the strategy style moving and the game got extremely hard as you progressed, otherwise it was a fun title. As far as Dragon Lore goes, I've always wanted to play it but I never really found the time or the drive but the 10 minutes I spent watching a friend play it back in like 1996 I enjoyed. I may actually pick this game up soon and give it a go!

Lucienne's Quest is a fun and impressive RPG.

If you can handle navigating a Japanese digicomic adventure, Policenauts is a must buy.

[Neb6]

Space Hulk. Absolutely!

[T2KFreeker]

Space Hulk. Absolutely!

Oh Damn, I forgot about Space Hulk. This game right here is a must own for any strategy/FPS game fan. Excellent, spooky, and just downright fun. Very good things in the 3DO version of the game. And for the record, it blows the Playstation version out of the water, PERIOD!

[SuperEliteGamer]

3DO had many good games?
Dude...

[goldenband]

Seconded on Immercenary. Once you get past the first 30-45 minutes of the game, which is a tough grindfest where you're vastly overmatched, it starts getting pretty fun. It's basically Spectre with FMV cutscenes and RPG elements.

My fiancée and I recently spent some time with Psychic Detective and found it to be pretty entertaining -- definitely one of the better FMV games I've played. There's no such thing as a "GAME OVER", but the choices you make dictate which of the game's 14 endings you get, and every time you play you get a different perspective and understand a little more of the story. After 9 playthroughs or so, we finally got the best ending.

We also play Trip'd pretty often when we bust out the 3DO, since she likes it a lot. It doesn't seem like much at first, but it's a strangely addictive little puzzle game. And the other night we beat Burning Soldier on Normal, though all the rapid shooting was murder on our hands/fingers.

With only a few monster and item types, Escape from Monster Manor is a bit thin on the bells and whistles, but it's still a nice FPS that hums along smoothly. I don't normally like the FPS genre, but it kept me interested.

I fired up Captain Quasar, AD&D Slayer, and Gex today for the hell of it. Man those games are fun, especially Slayer which really had some amazing in game music that rivals anything I've ever heard. These games, and all the games I listed in this thread earlier, should be enjoyed by anyone who's interested in the 3DO and it's awesome library of games and have given me such amazing memories as a gamer. It's nice to see that some people still appreciate the 3DO and it's fine library of titles. :)

[Smashed Brother]

Star Control II! This game is goddamn fantastic!

[TheRetroVideoGameAddict]

AD&D Deathkeep is another great first person dungeon crawler much like AD&D Slayer, they improved the graphics a bit as well as added some other elements but I still consider Slayer to be the better of the two games. If you own a 3DO and love to build things than you can't go wrong with Theme Park, which is kind of like an early Rollercoaster Tycoon in it's play style. You build a park, set up rides and concession stands, manage finances and funds, and build as you earn more cash, it's really a fun game.
