*Shock Wave Operation Jumpgate - Its more of the same though but with new aliens and an outer space setting instead of the invasion on earth. If you enjoyed the first game and are looking for a similar challenge then you can't go far wrong
* Demolition Man - Visually and aurally this is an incredible piece of software. The graphics and animations really are stunning, with Sly and Wesley always bringing a smile to your face.
*The Incredible Machine - This is a strange game. On the surface it looks abit naff with rather simplistic graphics and monotonous gameplay but after solving a couple of puzzles you'll be hooked!
* Mad Dog McCree 2 - Nice to see Old Mad Dog back again...Only kidding. This is another set of games that I would like to see laid to rest on Boot Hill.
*The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes - The story line is quite engrossing with tales of murder and mystery and the visuals are average with the odd burst of nice presentation. If you're a budding Holmes and fancy this kind of thing then try on this deerstalker for size.
* Samurai Shodown - Good, but not a patch on the Neo Geo CD version. The graphics are alittle jerky and pixellated and the awful joypad makes the game hard to play. That said, the game itself is pretty good and as close to arcade perfect as you'll get away from the Neo Geo.
*Slayer - Packed with varied dungons and monsters, this is a nice blend of first person exploring and hack n slash action. A little fiddly to play it at first, you'll soon lose yourself in the foreboding stone corridors.
* Super Street Fighter 2 - Reckoned to be probably the closest to an arcade version of the game you will find on a home console, if only you didn't have to use the terrible joypad that comes with the machine.
*The Need for Speed - Fantastic! The greatest console driving game ever! Eight cars to chose from all breaktakening rendered, presented with stunning film footage, stars and three different views to race from on super realistic track. 3DO owners will be the envy of the games world with this new title.
* Virtuoso - We've followed this game's progression from the early stages of development through to the finished product. Unfortunately, it hasn't turned out as well as the first impressions.
*Theme Park - Undoutbalty the best version of the game yet. Theme Park on the 3DO is surely the version that Bullfrog wanted to show the world.
 
*Waialae Country Club - Definitely the best golfing game on the 3DO, it utilises the 3DO's graphical capablities to the full. Unfortanately, this is at the expense of the gameplay.
*VR Stalker - Basic graphics with a lack of detail in the ground and on the planes let the game down. big time.
