[CrackRabbit]

There is this one game for the 3DO that was good. It is a game where you take the system out into the back yard and smash it up with a big _______ (enter favorite smashing tool here). Then you find whoever originally bought it and yell at them for wasting $500 (in my case, my parents).

I hated that system so much. You have to daisy-chain the controllers together. What brilliant freaking engineer thought of that? I couldn't find any good games for it. However there could be, maybe.

I still think the only way you are going to get any fun out of it is to play my game.

sorry I only destroy fried electronics... took apart an Atari my brother fried one time... rather interesting.
and besides it was only like 5 bucks. After searching ebay I found Wing Commander and Wing Commander III, had a wonderful time blasting Kilrathi on my K-6, is the 3DO version any good?

Welcome to 1992 (?).

Get Road Rash. I think that was on that system

 

[MAME]

Samurai Showdown series

 

[CrackRabbit]

I thought Samurai Showdown was on the NEO-GEO not the 3DO.
K added Road Rash To the list.

 

[HiTek21]

Samurai Showdown 1 was available on 3DO

Edit: List of 3DO Games

 

[CrackRabbit]

Thanks HiTek,
I see that Quarantine is on that list... I would love to get my hands on that

Check ebay. I punched in 3DO and got 353 items.

Road Rash for 3DO was great and the best version I played. I remember having some fun with the Jurassic park game. Hmm can't remember anything else....I only rented the system a couple times.

Alot of that is games Produced by 3DO long after the console died... ebay has a section for the 3DO under video games, No copies of Samurai Showdown or Quarantine for sale though....

 

[MAME]

Oh crap, I guess I don't know what the 3DO is then...

If you continue to search for those games never and I mean never do business with Buy Rite Video Games. Many have been suckered because they claim to have all these rare hard to find games in stock.

So what do they do, bait and switch? or what....

They'll charge your credit card and 99.9% of the times won't send you anything. The few people that actually get their orders usually get open items or 3rd party items. They also rip you off on shipping, $10 dollars for a game. I think they try to get stuff off Ebay to fill their orders. To top things off their CSR is rude and they usually won't respond by email.

Here's a dedicated sight who hates them

[SaturnX]

[DanTMWTMP]

[NeoV]

if you like fighting games, you HAVE to play WAY OF THE WARRIOR!

Naughty Dog's first game, even though they like to say that Crash Bandicoot was.....

This game had TONS of secrets, music by Rob Zombie, digitized characters like Mortal Kombat, fatalities, background-specific fatalities, hidden characters....tons of fun...not the tightest controls in the world for a fighter, but back then it was so much fun to play.....I'm still looking for a 3DO emulator just to play this again!

Prepare yourself noble challenger!

Get Gex and Killing Time. Those were two of my favorite 3DO games.

Also, Street Fighter 2 Alpha. You can fight as Akuma!
