Just bought a 3DO... now what?

[old_skoolin_jim]

So I indulged my curiosity this weekend and finally bought myself a Panasonic 3DO (FZ-10/top loader). Paid more than I hoped to ($85 for the system, 1 controller, and FIFA, PGA '96, and some lame-looking golf/baseball instructional video discs), but now I can experience all it has to offer!
...which, so far, seems like a lot of early-to-mid-nineties PC game ports and FMV adventures. Anybody on here have any personal recommendations? I'm excited to have a console version of Alone in the Dark 1 (and a little sad it never saw a port of 7th Guest), but other than that I haven't had much time to play around with it.

I've owned a 3DO since they were still releasing games for the system. I read some of the threads that were linked in this thread and found them to be pretty accurate. Enjoy your 3DO, there are some good games to be played on there.

My family loves Twisted, great gameshow game

3DO road rash is my favorite.

Sewer shark is fun, don't listen to the critics

Throw it in a closet.


JK, buy SSF2T, a couple of 6-button controllers, play it for a couple of hours, THEN throw it into a closet.

Aside from the obvious SSF2T port, there also is a nice version of the original Bust-A-Move on the 3DO. It has one of my favorite versions of Wolfenstein 3D due to its orchestrated soundtrack and upgraded graphics. Star Fighter is a must play if you like Starfox/Rogue Leader style air combat games. I will also admit that I've always had a soft spot for the Shockwave games, though mileage may vary.

The 3DO is actually a decent system with a surprising amount of quality games in its library. It is certainly no CD-i. I'd say it's about on par with the Jaguar, though the latter may have the edge due to T2k alone.

Something about plumbers and whether or not they wear ties.

I have a 3DO and rarely play it, but back when it was new a friend had one and I have very fond memories of Star Control 2, specifically the 1 vs 1 Melee game, though I'm sure the main game is good, too. I played it on PC.

Return Fire I remember getting some deserved attention as well.
