*Demolition Man - Demolition Man serves Virgin and Warner Bros well - this has set the standard for technical achievement in movie tie-ins, few films having been so faithfully reworked into a video game with so much attention to detail.
*Striker - No doubt there's going to be fanatical debate over which is better, Striker's sheer pace pitted against FIFA's slick presentation. With no 8- player option, Striker can't compete with FIFA for getting a crowd of players around your 3DO at the same time.
*Family Feud - Last but by no means least, the game lacks the immediacy of a true game show with the means to answer any question restricted to typing in a response.
*Gex - Gex is without a doubt the best thing to have happened to your 3DO in a long time. It's rare for a platform game to have the strong graphics and gameplay to justify long term interest
*Shanghai - Whilst all are good fun in single player mode, it's with two players that Shanghai Triple Threat really comes into its own, providing the sort of simple, utterly addictive and competitive play that prevents you from leaving it alone.
*Myst - Though these criticisms might sound minor they do have quite an effect on gameplay. Myst is one of those products that's very much a package - relying on its individual elements to combine to form a coherent whole.
*Iron Angel- Definitely not for everyone, but sci-fi freaks may get some pleasure if they invest considerable time into this curious release.
*Cannon Fodder - 3DO allows to provide a landscape that oozes colour. Sprites are more animated - especially the birds that fly overhead. The departure from the Amiga and PC to a console also means that the game can now be played on a TV.
*Star Wars Rebel Assault - If LucasArts can't do a decent Star Wars game, who can? This was obsolete before it even arrived on 3DO, and is a sad debut for such a big developer.
*3D Atlas - Billed as a Multimedia expedition to understanding planet earth, this is EA's brave stab at providing some edutainment for the more responsible 3DO owner with family ties
*Shock Wave Operation Jumpgate - Fans of the original will need no persuading to buy this much improved update. If you relished the brilliant sci-fi theme, brilliantly realised to provide a fantastic atmosphere in ShockWave, Operation JumpGate will be a welcome chance to continue the adventure.
*StarBlade - There are few games so genuinely influential, so unquestionably epic and, ultimately, so beautiful as Namco's 1991 coin-op smash: StarBlade.
*Jammit - This ancient Mega Drive game doesn't seem a likely source of inspiration for 3DO conversion, its previous incarnation being generally ill-received due to the abundance of excellent full team basketball games available.
*Station Invasion - This edutainment game gives you and your youngest the chance to work for a "Powerhouse (TV station) producing some top draw entertainment…" Heady heights indeed, unless your children are as precocious as the kidz in this game.
*The Incredible Machine - Dynamix The Incredible Machine hit the PC a year ago and ruptured many a mind. A deeply peculiar, unhealthily addictive, brain-bending puzzle game, it gets 3DO Magazine's vote as the most original title of the month
*Return Fire - Return Fire has come from nowhere and looks set to go down as one of, if not the, best two-player game on the 3DO system. Dazzling 3-D technology, stunning pre-generated landscapes and four awesomely powerful attack-vehicles
*Virtuoso - Virtuoso remains very much a substandard game. The graphic engine just isn't in the same league as something like Crystal Dynamics' Off-World Interceptor or even EA's Escape From Monster Manor.

Interesting mentions that no M2 development kits had been shipped, but as there is alot of cross over with 3DO development tools and an early access system which emulates what the M2 can do it wont be an issue for developers.

They were currently stress testing it. He also states they are working on two modem games and if the 3DO Modem "Which will be launched later this year", is successful they will be released on that. Also has NHL Hockey, but shows a pic of the SNES version. Other mentions include FIFA, John Madden and Need For Speed (Pages 28-29)

Reviews

Game Title Publisher Reviewer Pages Pg No(s) Rating
Striker Rage Software Mark Wynne 2 34-35 5
Gex Crystal Dynamics Dave Westley 3 37-39 5
Myst Panasonic Dave Westley 2 40-41 4
Cannon Fodder Sensible Software Dave Westley 2 42-43 4
  • Striker - No doubt there's going to be fanatical debate over which is better, Striker's sheer pace pitted against FIFA's slick presentation. With no 8- player option, Striker can't compete with FIFA for getting a crowd of players around your 3DO at the same time.
  • Gex - Gex is without a doubt the best thing to have happened to your 3DO in a long time. It's rare for a platform game to have the strong graphics and gameplay to justify long term interest
  • Myst - Though these criticisms might sound minor they do have quite an effect on gameplay. Myst is one of those products that's very much a package - relying on its individual elements to combine to form a coherent whole.
  • Cannon Fodder - 3DO allows to provide a landscape that oozes colour. Sprites are more animated - especially the birds that fly overhead. The departure from the Amiga and PC to a console also means that the game can now be played on a TV.
