The Horde 3DO review
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
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
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
Basque Country 3DO Tournament
Basque Country 3DO Tournament Basque Country 3DO Tournament We got together as we usually do in the Santutxu neighbourhood of Bilbao (Basque Country), but this time we met at the bar called Aldaketa. We got together 6 players; 5 adults and my 6-year-old son who, like me, likes retro consoles. Before playing the 3DO we […]
Crash and Burn 3DO Review
Released as a pack-in title for the 3DO system in 1993 and coded by a new studio called Crystal Dynamics, Crash ‘n Burn thrusts players into a futuristic combat racing world, offering a mix of vehicular chaos and explosive competition.
Killing Time 3DO Review
Killing Time immerses players in a haunted mansion filled with eerie corridors and ghostly enemies. A standout feature is its innovative approach to storytelling: live-action performances are seamlessly integrated into gameplay, with ghostly figures delivering key plot points in real-time. This keeps the narrative flowing without interrupting the player’s experience.
Primal Rage 3DO Review
The 3DO uses the update 2.3 version of the arcade code as opposed to 1.7 used in other 16 Bit versions. The 3DO version also has an added FMV intro movie and character specific FMV clips. These movies are very poorly done and look very lazily executed. It’s better to switch off these animations in the options and see the original cartoon like arcade intro that appears after the intro screen.
Night Trap 3DO Review
The 3DO version of Night Trap published by Virgin Games and made by Digital Pictures boasted the highest clarity video, the fastest switching between rooms and the best sound from all the versions released at the time (Sega CD, 32x and PC) -and honestly puts the original grainy Sega CD version to shame.
