The best game by far on this system was Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

@Ellisthemechanic My fave game on this system was Star Control 2.

I still play the freeware version on my PC's.

Good times.

Panicsonic, like Jagwire :D

The 3DO was a commercial failure, most certainly, but no way in hell is it a critical one, not in the way the Pippin or Jaguar were.

And the big issue with the 3DO price was that the 3DO company got royalties for software and hardware, but the hardware MAKERS didn't, so they weren't willing to take the losses that Sony took for the PlayStation.

I must ask though, were there ever any non-standard controllers? I can't imagine only playing Super SF2 Turbo with only three buttons...

i own a FZ-10 *my dad does at least* i dont know how the system failed its got a great game base and from my play time most games that we own dont have any bugs or problems..

How do you play Street Fighter with only 5 action buttons

[ElvisRocksVinyl]

I sold my PS1 to get the 3DO, I was a mega street fighter 2 fan back in the day and when the 3DO version came out it was the closest thing we had to playing the coin op and this 3DO version was a version all to it's own it was a nice looking game and would you believe it, it had better music than the coinop, FZ-1 Panasonic was the best 3DO and I still have the exact mode that I bought way back in 1995, it's a fab machine and the only console to have a headphone socket on the controller...coool

[Wahagetswaha3]

you're like a console museum and curator. awesome

[wondermega4ever]

I own the Sany Model..so sexy looking, just the best by far of all 3do models!

[ultragarrison]

You look like WWE wrestler Kane...

There was an Expansion model released,it was a VCD player.But as far as I know it was only released in Japan and is really hard to find.

I bought the FZ-1 when they dropped the price to $399 in 1994.I also have the FZ-10 which I bought a few years ago off Ebay.I still play this system,it did have quite a few really good games.
