  • Another World - Unfortunately the 3DO offers little in the way of enhancements, expect in the sound department and, nearly three years after it original release, this lacks the wow factor 3DO titles must have to be successful.
  • FIFA International Soccer - Superb. This version of FIFA is the best yet, and is as close as you will ever get to controlling a real football game.
  • Off World Interceptor - A classic example of how close the 3DO is to realising its full potential, but just how many problems it still has to sort out. The front end presentation is superb, but the programmers have got so involved in visual realism that the gameplay has suffered.
  • Pataank - What a waste of someone's time this was. There is no point in showing off what a machine can do if no one an make out what the heck is going on.
  • Burning Soldier - The visuals in this shooter are absolutely fantastic. The only trouble with it is that you've got no control over the direction your vehicle foes in at all, the players job is to simply go along for the ride and shoot at anything that moves.
  • Way of the Warrior - This is an example of the kind of game graphics that we can look forward to in the near future. Even though its obviously jumped on the MK bandwagon, it does a much better job of it than the weedy Kasumi Ninja.
  • Mega Race - We were expecting big things of Mega Race. Sadly it has turned out to be quite a disappointment. The huge, futuristic cityscapes that roll by are quite impressive but the cars are almost impossible to control.
