Back in 1995 Creative released 3DO BLASTER, 3D0-based chipset that enabled you to play 3D0 games on PC. Keep in mind this was before Windows 95/98, and I've always wondered how it worked.

I vaguely remember it, but I bought my first PC in 1997, I started searching before, but I delayed the buy due to Pentium FDIV bug until AMD released the K6, then I got a K6-166 at the price of a Pentium 133. By then 3DO wasn't produced anymore and the first Playstation was already the queen of consoles (and I didn't like it at all, except for playing with friends at parties).

We got one, ever, at EB back when I worked there during the ol' college days (it didn't sell: we wound up sending it back) but, from what I recall at the time, it was extremely buggy/temperamental and it cost more than an actual 3DO making it pretty much utterly pointless.
