More than 1 Million CDs pressed for 3DO System

April 26, 1994

Six months after the launch of its 3DO Interactive Multiplayer system, The 3DO Company today announced that more than 1 million CD-ROMs have been pressed for the advanced home gaming system.

Currently, more than 38 titles have been completed for the 3DO system in the United States, with more than 30 titles available in stores nationwide. Eighteen titles have been completed for the 3DO system in Japan. The company anticipates that there will be 43 titles available by the end of May in the United States, and about 100 will be available by the end of the year.

This milestone is a clear sign of a strong 1994, said Hugh Martin, chief operating officer, The 3DO Company.  The momentum is being driven by the growing number of quality software titles, and the success of the 3DO launch in Japan.  With more than 550 third-party development systems installed, there are currently more than 200 software companies worldwide actively developing titles for the 3DO platform.

The 3DO Company was formed to create a compelling new home interactive multimedia platform by developing technology that achieves a breakthrough in audiovisual realism at an affordable price, and by broadly licensing this technology to hardware companies, software developers and publishers. 3DO s initial product design, the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer system, is targeted as the first interactive multimedia product that appeals to the entire family.
