Did anybody own a 3DO from the 32/64 bit era, or even play it?

No and No, I remember looking at pictures of it's games in Game Players magazine and thinking to myself "Those look more like some lame interactive movie than a video game, do not want."

Too many damn consoles were out back then, everybody and their mother released a console in the 90's.

Road Rash for 3D0 was highly regarded as the best one in the series. I had a blast playing it myself. Thats one of the few 3DO games I liked. It also has a port of Wolfenstein 3D called Wolfenstein 3DO, lol. Wolfenstein 3D was a fun game even though it was the very first FPS ever made. I thought it was cool that Hitler was the Final Boss in that game.

I use to have one and at the time i remember really liking it.I had super street fighter 2 turbo,samarai showdown,demolition man,way of the warrior,dragons lair,need for speed,myst,jurassic park,road rash and gex.I had several other games as well but those are the ones that stick out in my mind at the moment.Personally i thought the 3do was a great system for its day and i loved all those games i listed except for way of the warrior and jurassic park.This is kindeve bringing back some memorys and makes me wish i still had that system even though i probably wouldnt like those games as much now as i didnt back then.

You can probally get one of Ebay or something like that? I saw one on TradeMe (NZ version of Ebay) and it's rare to see anything like that on there so I'm sure there will be at least few on Ebay.

The '80s were not particularly all that great, either. There must have been, literally, dozen or more consoles that were released from just the early to mid '80s.

I forgot about GEX, that was a fun platformer. Way of the Warrior, lmao. Is that the generic Mortal Kombat rip-off? When you beat your opponent instead of saying "Finish Him" it said "Prove Yourself". :lol:

I still have my 3DO !

Road Rash, Need for Speed (very 1st one in the series) Way of the Warrior ( Naughty Dog's 1st game ) and S.F with the special controllers and the first 3D Madden and Twisted which was a very fun game for all plus other games as well.

Trip Hawkins had me sold on the thing mostly because E.A. ( back when E.A. was awesome !) seamed firmly behind it but that did not last. :?

i did. i had fifa, madden, need for speed, gex, super street fighter 2 turbo, samurai shodown, road rash, way of the warrior, and a bunch of other games like total eclipse. i had the samsung version with the SNES controller connectors so i could you those. it wasnt a very good system. i thought the jaguar was better. but for its time, it had the best versions of fifa, and street fighter, gex was decent, and the guy in need for speed was a hoot!

It was knida like EA's game console system....It had a few good games but it was to easy to copy games like the Dreamcast and that killed it quick.

I played it but never owned it...

If I remember right I played MK 2 or 3 on it and Resident Evil? I think I played some other games... But I can't remember since it's been ages ago.

it's been years but I used to have a Goldstar version of 3DO with Road Rash, Samurai Shodown, and some of the japanese photo shoot games if you know what I mean. Then i traded it with some dude for a saturn because he wanted to "play" too.

I've played it, but never owned one.

I actually have one game for it, but never actually tried it on the console.

I owned one a year and a half ago. The number of US released videogame consoles I have never owned since the inception of the industry offivially now stands at 5: The Vectrex, The Colecovision, The Sega Saturn, the Atari Jaquar and the PS3. I have owned every other system.

I had a tank game, Wing Commander, Madden Football, Space Ace and this strange FMV space game that stared the Asian chick from Wayne's World.
