3DO is underrated. Better library/Diversity than N64 and Saturn. Close to PSX.

The 3DO is a misunderstood console. It had many great games and exclusives. One main problem about the 3DO is EA, I mean #DO companies policy of marketing, which you needed to pay a lump su of money. Especially since 3 companies had 3DO branded systems. Which was an odd idea itself. But the library of the 3DO is quite amazing with lots of highly raed games many do not know. In genre's of manys favorites. The libray is better than the 3DO and Saturn library and is the only real alternative to the PSX. THe N64 lacks alot of quality games and it's focus and controller are made so that very few genres could flourish. Also lack of CD based technology. The Saturn library was also just as limited, and the fact it was mostly a 2D machine makes it a sucker compared to the 3DO. Don't believe me? Ask away, it;s the lack of knowledge of the 3DO that has it pined down form being brought up. It has many games you can't get anywhere else and the genreal opinion that mostof its games became ports later is very untrue. very very untrue.

I"ve always wanted a 3DO. I keep hoping I'll come across one in a Goodwill because they'll think it's an old CD or DVD player. Hasn't happened yet, lol.

The library does look pretty good compared to a lot of the more rare consoles around that time. But better than the Saturn? I'm not entirely sure because I don't have a 3DO, but I have looked through the library due to my interest in the console and it does seem like that to me. The games that interest me in the 3DO library were:

  • Alone in the Dark
  • Dragon's Lair
  • Gex (also on Saturn)
  • Myst
  • Need For Speed (also on Saturn)
  • Night Trap
  • Road Rash (also on Saturn)
  • Star Control 3
  • Wing Commander 2
  • Wolfenstein 3-D

I'm sure there are some 3DO gems I haven't even heard of. But I know that I could come up with a list of Saturn games I enjoy that's much larger than that. The 3DO had even less third-party support than the Saturn did. Where's the long-standing franchises like Castlevania or Mega Man? Where's the licensed games like X-Men or WWF? And at the same time it's not like 3DO was one the same first-party developer level as Sega or Nintendo.

The 3DO and heck, Even Panasonic threw around many First PArty games. The 3DO has crap tons of third party support. Many long standing franchises, heck you names just a small chunk already. The 3DO has over 300 games, the Saturn had????? 205?

I laugh. Especially at variety. THe 3DO has more than both the N64 and Saturn. It also seems to have more quality games as well than the N64, with the Saturn depending on genre.

Games that have decent or above praise universally from reviewers and users. More variety more quality, you guys just know nothing about the 3Do because you nver took the time to buy one when it's price dropped.

Exactly, the N64 have more games than the 3Do, thanks for agreeing with me that the 3DO has quality and not quantity.

You can play basically all worthwhile 3DO games on the PC. Legally.

There was even a 3DO Blaster for the PC...

I doubt the 3DO blaster would work nowadays (even if you could plug it into your motherboard, something I seriously doubt, though Im not sure what connection it has) , one would need an old computer from 15 years ago for it to work. as for the 3DO having a better library than the Saturn or N64, from my (limited) experience with the console, no way.

Other than maybe 3 games I don't have, I have 27 Shooting games, and they are all listed on Gamespot/Ign/Gamefaqs which I checked each individually to check for missing games. Of that there are 30 3DO shooters and 30 Satrun shooters EXCLUDING imports, because if you use imports that means the Saturn had no games. Which I also have most of, I have 20 Sega Saturn Shooters.

The 3DO has for 3D fighting that got good reviews/user reviews: Primal Rage Ballz Shadow: War of Succesion Way of the Warrior (Also would like to mention Best version of SF2T however that is 2D and you onli like 3D.) Now when you say SHMUPS. Are youtalking a specific type of shooter or shooters in general?

excluding imports is a dirty trick though , I would be quite happy if you included imports for both systems.

No it's not. If I included imports Saturn would win shooting (well scrolling shooting) and the 3DO would win in almost every other genre due to it's massive amount of Japanese only games.

nonsense, the Saturn has more games, with or without the imports, its as simple as that. as for the fighting games, thats nonsense again Primal Rage is a game with pre renderd sprites, and the game is a 2D game as well. Shadow uses digitized sprites , as does way of the warrior Ballz uses pre renderd sprites. do you look at your TV when you play games?

Ballz is widely called a 3D game do research. So do Sha- actualy why not look at some games instead of graphics? 3D means move in all direction like MOrtal Kombat deceptions=These games are 3D. The Saturn would not have more games in quite a few genres with imports. The Saturn and 3DO almost have the exact same library size U.S. only.

[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"][QUOTE="rilpas"]

[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"] No it's not. If I included imports Saturn would win shooting (well scrolling shooting) and the 3DO would win in almost every other genre due to it's massive amount of Japanese only games.

nonsense, the Saturn has more games, with or without the imports, its as simple as that. as for the fighting games, thats nonsense again Primal Rage is a game with pre renderd sprites, and the game is a 2D game as well. Shadow uses digitized sprites , as does way of the warrior Ballz uses pre renderd sprites. do you look at your TV when you play games?

two problems with that statement 1 ) thats not what he asks for , what he said was "and by 3D fighters I mean games like Tekken, DOA and Virtua Fighter", and those exist on the Saturn (well, Tekken doesnt , but there are others) 2) even if you assume that what you said is true, that still means the majority of the games you mentioned are not 3D in any way. so yeah , you pretty much ruined your own argument there. as for the other point, as far as I know, the 3DO has just over 200 games in its library, if youre claiming it has more games than the Saturn , can you provide a credible source for that claim , because Ive got a feeling that your point about the number of games is the same as your comment about fighting games

I'd say the 3DO is barely even worth owning forget it actually being better than anything.

Next Shockwave-DASH topic Watara Supervision Better than the Gameboy simply because it's more obscure.:P

well, saying the 3DO is not worth owning is also wrong imo , its a good console, its just the idea of it being better than the Saturn or N64 is alien to me

3D=move in more than 2 direction it does not ruin jack, you missed that part on purpose. He asked for 3D fighting games like them ot them specifically then he went on to say 3 times after that he just wanted 3d fighters. 3D=move in all directions.

Or you don't own a 3Do, never looked up its games, are a troll, and the fact everyon on this thread is making arguments based on limited experiences. Guees that means the N64 is bad then as I only played the top 15 games everyon talked about and only 20 hidden gems. Only 35 games? lol. Your logic fails pretty badly here. I also doubt you know what a watara is so even though it's bad, you still have no valid opinion of it.

and most are ports or multiplats I already have on better and more accessible systems.
heck, aren't "Out of this World" and "Flashback" sega Genesis games? I swear I had'em on Genesis......
and really? you're listing "Myst" as survival horror? *facepalm*

No yu said the games were all 2D, and now your saying ballz is 3D so you killed your argument. So is ballz 3D or 2d? You and Rilpas said they were all 2D.

Flashback is the same as the Mega Drive version , just nicer colours and FMVs instead of the real time animations, also some nicer music. its worth getting on the 3DO , but its not that massive an upgrade.

1) I didn't ignore your silly little failed list, his was posted first, and yours wasn't yet when I responded.

2) I didn't say 4 each, I asked for ten each, apparantly you can't read.

3) I think its clear to everyone whom the "troll" is here, and the same applies to the "b_tch" thing.

You're clearly just here to annoy everyone and be controversial and absurd. And that's cool, we all need a laugh from time to time, and you're certainly providing us with some great material here, but seriously now.......

you should have just stopped with "3DO is underrated" and I'd toss you a thumbs up and say, yeah, its got some cool stuff.
but at this point, you're just making yourself look silly.



"Last edited on june 24th."
Wow, you said four the first time, nice stealth troll. Shockwave-DASH


yes, I edited a spelling mistake.
the post ALWAYS said to give me a top-ten, it never said 3 or 4.

but nice try :lol:

Also you said give examples I gave examples.
Also you can't count. you said 3 games each when I put in 4.
Also lol at thinking MYst and Outofthisworld/flashback are the same games as the genesis versions. Fail 4 times in a row. wow. Shockwave-DASH


1) I asked for ten in each genre, and because you couldn't manage that, you gave me 3 or 4 some of which aren't even in their proper genre

2) I said Myst wasn't survival horror. Also, its one PSX & SAT so its really not an example that's helping you much here.

3) Flashback IS the same game as the Genesis.
