  • Alone in the Dark - Admittedly there are more than a few glitches in the state of the art animation and control method, but they are well worth putting up with to play this excellent adventure.
  • Gridders - This is another 3DO release that struggles to show off the machine at the expense of any real gameplay.
  • Star Control 2 - Prepare yourself for an epic adventure, the box says. Well, you cant say you weren't warned. Its a huge drag of a game that sees you guiding a minuscule spaceship through galaxies, conversing with aliens and building an intergalactic empire.
  • Dragons Lair - Dragons Lair was one of the biggest arcade cons there has ever been. Put in £1 and a few seconds later its all over. The 3DO game has exactly the same cartoon graphics as the laser disc found in the arcade, so you cant fault with it visually, the gameplay element is very suspect thought.
