It wasn't that sad an era, but until the PS1 came out it did leave something to be desired. There was little on systems like the 3DO or CD-I that would have made me want to replace my 16 bit systems until the era of Playstation.
Man it's like somebody took a whole bunch of fantasy, sci-fi and mob movies and mashed them into one plot. Not really sayin that's a bad thing either XD
Back in the days when panasonic 3DO was released i had a toss up to either buy a 3DO or Amiga CD32 and it was tuff to decide then i opted for the CD32 which at the time was good as Amiga had lots going for it and i eventually got an SX1 module to turn the CD32 in to a fully fledged A1200 but i do wish now i had bought the 3DO and still have it today.The graphics and game play are brilliant !!!
I don't know why, I did like this game at the time and was led to believe there would be more of a "city" feel to the actual gameplay, but because of the memory limitations it just couldn't handle fully rendered polygons and anti-aliasing like today's games. I just played it between NFS and Killing Time, but within a year I knew the PS1 would basically replace my 3DO. (not to mention, I was really getting tired of my 3DO locking up every now and then, and I couldn't save my progress.)
This was the strangest damn game. From the intro, it seemed like it'd be a FPS, but all you did was fly around shooting cubes that were supposed to represent the bad guys. And the "city" you flew around in looked nothing like a city at all. It was like flying and fighting against a metaphor.
I wouldn't really say it was a sad era for games. I would say it was more of a sad era for game systems. The Panasonic 3DO was one example of a game system with a ton of potential, but crashed and burned because of a high price point, and a library of mostly horrible games.
