I don´t know if it´s my impression, but I always thought that 3D effect in 3DO was in the same level than PS1 (So much better than Jaguar, however). Maybe, if 3DO had more blockbusters and softhouses building games, it could fight PS1, at least until N64 release...
I've looked at all of these and no mention of my two favorites; Hell( with Dennis Hopper as The Devil, and, Quarantine - post-apocalyptic, taxi driver, shooter game. I played that one so long, it burned images into my cornea.
I had three 3DO systems, I bought one for my Bday in 1995 for $300 because it came with 3 free games and the PS1 was sold out for the next four months, and I quickly became addicted to "Need for Speed," "Road Rash" and Killing Time. There were a few others, but although with better resolution than the PS1, the gameplay was a little slower--AND you had to find a special sampler disk just to manage your memory and delete old saves. Ah, yes, the 90's!
I own 17 different consoles ,including the atari2600(7800 on its way) and the Jaguar (do the math!) plus the 3do ,but I cant play my 3do at the moment as I have no controller,and have been waiting over about 6 weeks for one to be delivered to me (UK) from Canada .
i only got to play the 3do once and thats because my sister worked at gamestop several years ago and she found one and i went to her house and played it, i had no idea it was so old
Ahhh. You see. Apparently, and I don't really enjoy these old FPS games, Wolfenstein was better on the 3DO, while Doom was better on the Jaguar. AvP on the Jaguar was better than all of them mind you :)
The only thing that the Atari did better than the 3DO was its FPS games, although even then, the ports of Doom and Wolfenstein were quite sloppy on Jaguar.
These videos are great!!! Oh and it's only obvious the 3DO is more powerful than the Atari Jaguar where the idea of a texture is but a dream just like it actually being a 64-bit console. What a joke.
i actually have 2 3DOs and i still play them becuz lets face it, the oldies are always the best
love immercenary, killing time, Gex OH and one of my all time favourites, the incredible machine... oh the joys of watching that little boy fall millions of feet to his death by crocodile... ahhhhh ^^
There's a reason why the 3DO and the Jaguar died quickly...it's because they weren't real consoles, they were just pieces of crap hardware that had mostly FMV games or just total crap games save for a very few games on the 3DO...
Uhhh...no they don't and why don't you make a more intelligent argument instead of just saying shut the fuck up? why don't you suck my cock then? and yeah, the 3DO could've been better if it wasn't for the crap games "save for a few"...
Go look up the specs asswipe. There is a site that does a full hardware comparison with several other consoles. Also I had no idea the Jaguar being a cartridge based system was able to do FMV. The 3DO had a ton of great games and also a ton of shit ones. But so did the PSX. A PS1 console can be had for $5 these days. Go price a 3DO.
PS1 Specs: MIPS R300A Compatible 32bit RISC CPU @ 33.8688Mhz, 1KB Data Cache, 360,000 Flat-shaded polygons per second & 180,00 texture mapped and light sourced polygons per second. 2MB RAM, 1MB Video RAM and 512kb Sound RAM with 32k Sound Buffer....

3DO Specs: 32-bit 12.5Mhz RISC CPU (about like 25Mhz 68030 CPU), 2MB RAM, 1MB Video -- basically not much difference in Specs (Source: Wikipedia)
I used to be an "Ataryan", but not for too long. If I had to choose again, I'd go with the 3D0 instead. Traded my Jaguar and games for a PlayStation as soon as it came out. Boy, that sure was a relief.

Can you play Japanese 3DO games on a U.S. 3DO-in other words, is it region-locked??

It just finally hit me why I am little off.
It's because of playing almost every console,
including this one and these games broke my brain. Now I don't need therapy. Thanks 3dokid.

actually about 100 cartridge games were released for the Jaguar.
