Features

  • Telling the Future the way it is - Pages 43-46 Cont..Pages 55-61 - Feature showing all the current consoles (and pending ones), 3DO gets a nice 2 page spread, with soundbites from Trip Hawkins, Bob Monk from Goldstar UK and Rob Dyer at Crystal Dynamics. They bizarrely have a picture of the Samsung machine (but no mention of Samsung). Games named in the article include: Lost Eden, Myst, Hell, Quarantine, Doom, Primal Rage, Supreme Warrior, Cannon Fodder, Creature Shock, Killing Time, Corpse Killer, Wing Commander 3 and Gex. it also mentions games that didn't make it: 11th Hour, Doom 2, Dragon and Cyberclash.
  • Bluffers Guide to 3DO - Page 63 - Basic 1 page guide to the 3DO.

Previews

  • Gex (Page 14) - Very small article with 2 even smaller screenshots, says how the game is delayed but the gex boasts an impressive 450 frames per second.
  • Flashback (Page 22) - Almost full page preview of Flashback, also for CD-i and Jaguar (Doesn't tell what system the screenshots are from)

Adverts

Retail

  • Special Reserve - 2 Page Ad, with various consoles in a retail list, 3DO has about 30+, 3DO FZ-1 is £389.99. Several games listed for sale that never made the light of day: 11th Hour, Cyberclash, Dragon and Powerslide. They have a game called "Shut Down", that I can't find any information on, and believe its a misprint (Page 2-3)
  • Calculus - 2 Page spread, with 1 page being dedicated to 3DO (The other Jaguar), FZ-1 for £399.95 plus a selection of games (Pages 18-19)
  • Games USA - Quarter page ad, has various consoles including 3DO, and a list of what seems to be 3DO only games, this includes a "TBA Magic Carpet" (Page 64)


  • Zap - Full page ad, picture of consoles (Including 3DO), as well as 3 screenshots of 3DO games - Fifa, Need for Speed, Street Fighter and Off World Inceptor, no prices though (Page 27)
  • Gameplay Full page ad, various listed consoles and games, 3DO has about 30 games (including Powerslide) and the 3DO is for sale at £384.99 (Page 66)
  • Console Connections - Small ad, mainly filled with selling a 3DO wireless controller (Page 109)
  • Game Zone - Small ad with 3DO logo amongst other console logos (Page 109)
  • Computer Paradise - Small ad with mention they stock 3DO (Page 109)
  • Video Game Centre - Small ad with mention they stock 3DO (Page 109)
  • Deep Logic - Small ad with mention they stock 3DO (Page 109)
  • loadeD Consoles - Small ad (Almost so small you cant read what they are selling!), Selling some imported 3DO games (Page 109)
  • Queensway Consoles - Small ad with 3DO logo amongst other console logos (Page 109)

Letters

  • Choice Meat (Page 29) - Reader doesn't know if to buy a 3DO now or a Playstation later
  • 3DO:2B or not 2B? (Page 29) - Letter downplaying the 3DO in the UK, and only reason why people bought one was because there was nothing else to buy


Other 3DO mentions

  • Front Page - Text mention - "3DO Return Fire - Guns Roaring, cannons booming - Get ready to kick some ass!"
  • Page 12 - Panzer Dragoon - Has the same information box for Magic Carpet in issue 1, claiming that its for PC/3DO, this looks like a mixup as they compared Panzer Dragoon to Magic Carpet but obviously forgot to update the data.
  • Page 45 - UK CD Chart - Doesn't say which format its on, but potentially 4 3DO games. Picture next to it, is of Theme Park and the caption "Theme Park gets a new lease of life now its out on the 3DO as well"
