3DO Games

They were on the original "Signed Up Developer List" Published by 3DO. Only one potential title, is Akria, that I found on an internet bulletin board from around that time. The actual title was to be released on the Sega Megadrive and Sega CD but was canned. A prototype was found and released in 2018, but no other mention of 3DO in any magazines etc, so think it was highly unlikely it was ever linked.

History

(originally founded as Black Pearl Inc.) was a subsidiary of THQ founded on June 1992 by Lawrence David Siegel son of Bert Siegel, Co-Founder of Segasa, primarily focused on public company interim management with projects as diverse as satellite phone companies to heavy metal industrial plants. When THQ acquired the company in 1993, Lawrence Siegel was hired on a two year consulting agreement becoming its COO until 1995, serving as the executive producer of over one hundred THQ video games
