Your favorite 3DO games

[torvez]

Hey guys, I'm picking up a 3DO this weekend for $40.
Which I'm pretty sure is a good price.
Anyway, since I'm picking up another "uncharted console", I'd like to know, what are your absolute favorite games for it?

I have not played a 3DO, but I keep hearing that the 3DO versions of Road Rash and Need for Speed are the best versions.

I personally would pick up Alone in the Dark, D, and Flashback. All are classics, and especially in the the case of flashback, I suspect the 3DO version is the one to get.

Thanks, I was thinking Alone in the Dark too

Nice! good deal. If you dont mind me asking, is it just the console, or a bundle? And which one is it? The panasonic ones or the goldstar one?
Alone in the dark is awesome, also check Captain Quazar if you can get it cheap, its a top down shooter.
Trip'd is a cool puzzle game by the same people that did D
The 3DO version of Wolfenstein is awesome
And of course Lemmings

It's one of the panasonics, it has 2 controllers and a game. He never told me which game, but I figure its a goo deal anyway, so I don't really care lol

Just make sure you test it. 3DOs are notorious for being faulty.

will do, that's no good lol
I probably wont be able to play test it, but i can probably get pics of it working, or maybe a video, I have to pick it up in a public location.

Welcome to the weird world of 3DO collecting lol
Games worth playing? To be honest 3DO doesn't have a lot of "great" games. Most of it's best you can get on PS1. but here's a few I've played that are worthy.

- Road Rash
- Need for Speed
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Super Street Fighter II Turbo (one of the best classic console SF2 games)
- Return Fire
- Gex
- Lemmings
- Samurai Shodown (not as good as the NeoGeoCD but better then the 16bit carts)
- Incredible Machine (not a lot of replay but fun puzzle game)

Which version are you getting? (added links so you can see a pic)

I don't know what's going on with the guy I was supposed to buy it from,
but I found a few deals I couldn't pass up and now I don't have the cash for it  .

just picked up some 3DO games and thought I'd share my thoughts on them.
  = GREAT! Must own.
  = Good, worth checking out.
  = Okay. playable.
  = Below Average
  = Poor.
  = Garbage.

- Burning Soldier
Basic fixed camera first person view shooter. Not horrible but nothing to really worth hunting down. 

- Starblade
Pretty much plays like Burning soldier, more colorful graphics, kinda reminds me of Starfox. 

- Wing Commander III
For a video game, some decent acting and a plot that makes you want to play. The special effects are horrible green screen CGI. You pretty much watch movies then blast ships out of space. worthy to play even though the effects look silly. 

- Deathkeep
A first person RPG, kinda choppy framerate and really hard at start due to limited items/weapons. (the archer starts with one arrow and you have to run and retrieve it, making you defenseless till you can run and pick it up)  Not to bad (for a 3DO game) but nothing great. 

- Escape from Monster Manor
I bought this game knowing nothing about it, I was expecting a FMV adventure game but it turns out to be a Doom clone. A first person shooter Set inside a hunted Mansion and you shoot reapers and ghosts. It wasn't bad. I found this game to be playable. I only played a few levels and never found any new weapons or upgrades. Also found the gems and coins in the game pointless. But overall I would recommend this for people wanting to play something on the 3DO. 

- Sex, Endlessly & The Coven
These are those rare 3DO adult games, but they are NOT GAMES. They are horrible videos with a few shots of T&A. These are only to be bought by serious collectors looking to have a complete 3DO collection. The Sex one is nothing but clips to the other "games" with some perv giving stupid comments. These make Plumbers Don't Wear Ties look like a masterpiece. At least its a game. (sort of) lol
