What did I happen upon?

[link1110]

OK, I was upstate this weekend, and at a flea market, got a 3d0 with 16 games for $30. OK, a few of the multi-disc games (Wing Commander 2, Something 2, and some golf trainer) are missing discs, but I still got a bunch of games, but I get home seeing how much I can get for this on EBay, and all the 3d0's look TOTALLY different from the one I bought, I can't take pics because the 3d0 is still up there in my mom's car, byut it looks more like a Turbo Duo than a 3d0, and its a top loader. Did I happen upon something rare and cool, or is this just common?

Not really rare in the great scheme of things. I'd bet its a Panasonic FZ10. Its just another model of the same old 3DO system. I'd liken it to the second revision of the SNES or NES. A redesign.

The 3DO company published specifications and allowed other companies to produce systems. Licensees included Goldstar, Panasonic, Sanyo and Creative Labs, off the top of my head. The first three produced their own 3DO consoles, while Creative made a card that turned your PC into a 3DO (3DO Blaster).

You still got a very nice deal for getting a 3do and 16 games for $30. That would go for atleast $50 on Ebay and depending on what games you have, as high as $75+.
