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.

Sewer Shark 3DO Review

Sewer Shark looks much crisper on the 3DO than the Mega CD and doesn’t suffer so much pixelation and artifacts. The sound effects as you bend around tunnels are also great.

Dragon’s Lair 3DO Review

Dragon’s Lair for the 3DO s a classic arcade game renowned for its stunning, hand-drawn animation by Don Bluth. The 3DO version of Dragon’s Lair maintains the game’s visual appeal but suffers from slightly washed-out colours. While the audio complements the visuals with a memorable score and sound effects, the gameplay is very tough.
