This console was somthing else...


I think the 3DO was a neat concept, despite other peoples ideas. The idea of a 3D atlas and a Video Almanac paved the way for other console with the waether reports (Wii) 
Internet (Xbox 360) and movie players (PSX). The games were okay, and it was fun on multiplayer. The only thing that ruinded it was the 700 dollar cost.

I never knew a single person who owned this system.  I remember messing around with it in stores but I never wanted to own one.

Certainly, but it was also $700 (in 1994 dollars no less) for a game console with no real "killer app" titles considering most of the best games for the system were ports (Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Wolf 3D, etc etc) Of course it was going to go under. Ahead of its time in some ways? Maybe. I guess in the pantheon of failed consoles it ranks above the Jaguar and both of the genesis add-ons, but it still failed for a reason. Of course, 3DO went on to make bad games before going under and dragging New World Computing down with them, so I guess they got theirs.

I played a 3DO at a friend's house many times when it first came out. I wasn't impressed. But he had crappy tastes in video games. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Nice to meet you and sorry.  But, if it makes you feel better, I had a 32X, Sega-CD, and an X'Eye.  So you're not alone in making bad console choices.

Yeah the 32X was a bad choice, the Sega CD has gotten better with age (you know now not to buy FMV titles) and the 3DO is the only machine I've never wanted again. I keep my old systems in pretty good repair but I kicked that 3DO out the first chance I had.

I have to ask about that game just from looking at the screenshots. It looks like the bad D&D game I've been looking for all these years.
 
@mariofreak1:
Oh man. I watched the AVGN video for that. I totally forgot that that game existed before you just mentioned it to me.

@ArbitraryWater: I can safely say I've played a lot of Dungeons & Dragons games (maybe more than you) and DeathKeep is the worst. Normally I would say that "it at least works" but the fact that you can play it makes it worse than if it just formatted your PC or french fried the 3DO (I played both versions and the PC one is 'superior')
