The Coven 3DO Review

The Coven 3DO review

The Coven is a poor excuse for an interactive game on the 3DO released in 1994 . This was developed by Vivid Interactive, who were the artistic geniuses behind such classics as Immortal Desire and Blonde Justice. Despite the ‘Interactive’ in Vivid’s name, this title has virtually zero interactivity. It’s more like a choose-your-own-adventure slideshow.

The Horde 3DO review

Michael Gregory as Kronos

It’s a bizarre but compelling blend of genres, a true classic for 3DO. It’s not perfect. It’s a bit silly and the FMV production values are probably held together with duct tape and hope. But it’s also original, funny, and strangely addictive.

Off World Interceptor 3DO Review

Off Road Interceptor 3DO

The solo Story experience is where Off-World Interceptor truly shines. Players are immediately thrust into a barrage of incoming fire and explosions. The terrain unfolds with hills, ravines, and artillery fire, each planet presenting unique hazards, from pop-up lasers to gunships. High-speed chases with rival buggies and cycles add to the exhilarating chaos, testing players’ skills.

Mortal Kombat 2 3DO

The 3DO version is visually stunning, and in my opinion the best-looking home console port of MKII to date.  The characters are massive and vibrant, the special moves are all present, and the backgrounds feature gorgeous, multi-layered parallax scrolling.  New 3DO-exclusive levels and optional background scenes are present
and we even have Trip and others popping up to give us a Toasty!

Starblade 3DO

Starblade’s journey to home consoles began in 1994 with ports for the Sega CD utilising basic wireframe ships and then 3DO. The 3DO version offered a unique twist: a choice between the original arcade-style flat polygons and a groundbreaking new rendition featuring textured mapped polygons.

Doom 3DO review

Doom FMV 3DO

It was common knowledge that Doom on the 3DO was a highly anticipated and heavily promoted flagship title. However, the reality couldn’t have been further from the hype
