Down as 'D'.

*Road Rash
Tommy Cox's favourite game this month has got this great weird happening in it. On the
Peninsula track, level 2 or above, race through to 6.6 miles in. Now cross the barrier on the
right and drive along into the cows to make them stand up and pose! Funnily enough,
these are the only cows in the game that do this!

Letters

  • I Wait Instead - Consumer writing in asking if he should wait for the "3DO 2" instead of buying the 3DO (Page 35):

I was thinking of getting a 3DO, but I heard recently that 3DO 2 was on its way. Should I wait for that Instead?

Simon Cook , Macclesfield, Cheshire

3DO 2 is actually an add-on, code- named Bulldog. This is a cart that you plug into the 3DO's expansion port, featuring the new Power PC chip as well as some specific polygon-type stuff.

This add-on has been designed to compete with the Saturn and the PlayStation, so if you love the 3DO anyway, you may as well buy it now and wait for the add-on.


Other 3DO mentions

  • Page 6 - Staff Overview - On Brad Merrett's most eagerly awaited game, he has "Street Fighter 3 on the 3DO"
  • Page 51 - Hot Sticky Blood Feature - Feature on some of the times bloodiest games, 3DO gets a mention via Road Rash with the body count "Right off the Scale", 3 other 3DO games are featured, but the version isnt mentioned - Samurai Shodown, Doom and Cannon Fodder
