Look to the right where it says first available in America and Canada in 1993. It had further renditions by Sanyo and Goldstar in 1994. In fact the price was reduced in fall of 1994 to $499. It did launch in Sep. 1993.

I really don't know what you are trying to argue anymore.   I said it was discontinued in 1996, not launched in 1996.  It lasted 3 years.  It doesn't matter what the price was dropped to, it launched at $700.  Again, closer to $900 now with inflation. 

The PS3 has already outsold the 3DO's lifetime sales twice over, and certainly has many more good games.  There was no reason to try and make that comparison in this topic, and you are simply trolling for reasons to attack the PS3.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

My cousins boguht a 3DO back in the day...had a 3DO party. Then they sold it like 3 months later.

Mad Dog II is a lightgun shooter on the 3DO that utilized the orange lightgun seen above.  The game utilizes full-motion video as opposed to rendered graphics like most famous lightgun shooters of our time.  While this gives a very nice visual effect and was reinforcement for Panasonic's claims that the 3DO was a true leap in gaming, it also has some major disadvantages.  The hit recognition is iffy at best, and it can be very frustrating.  The game has extensive voice acting (one of the earliest games to do so), but it's cheesey at the best moments and downright awful at the worst.  Overall, the game isn't awful, but it's nothing stellar in the lightgun shooter genre.  6/10



Do you have Star Control 2?

Yeah, somewhere.  It wasn't with the other games but I know we didn't throw it out.  I had Soccer Kid around somewhere too.
