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
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.
CPU Bach 3DO Review
CPU Bach on 3DO is like having a Bach streaming radio station constantly playing, where each new track is a unique Baroque piece of music from the 1700 in the style of Bach using the form of concerti, fugues, minuets, chorales etc.
Demolition Man 3DO review
Demolition Man was created by Virgin Interactive Entertainment and released for the 3DO in 1994. This was a much better attempt at an interactive movie tie in game than the poor effort made by Jurassic Park.
Jurassic Park Interactive 3DO Review
Jurassic Park Interactive for the 3DO, released by Universal Interactive Studios in 1994, fails to deliver on its potential. Despite the engaging premise of rescuing island guests and combating dinosaur threats, the game suffers from poor execution.
