• Total Eclipse - Total Eclipse is an awe-inspiring shooter. The action is intense, the bad guys are scary, the alien landscapes are weird, the trenches are tough to navigate-this game is a phenomenal challenge and a blast to play!
• Putt Putt Goes To The Moon - This game is really cute. I hate to use that word. But I enjoyed it, and this is a game for little kids. Putt-Putt meets Rover the lonely lunar terrain vehicle, and before you know it, they're building a rocket.
• Fatty Bears Fun Pack - Cool name (Fatty Bear), but it just doesn't look that good. Nothing really interesting. The games are pretty boring. I'm not sure I'd like it even if I were five years old.
• Lemmings - Lemmings has finally made it to all the systems! Oh Boy! I say with a shout to the heavens. It's pretty much the same game as on all the other systems, except the graphics are a bit perkier and those cute li'l guys sound a little sweeter.
• Dragons Lair - When I was in the 7th grade, I used to spend my lunch money playing Dragon's Lair in my town's local yogurt shop. (Hey, it was the '80s.) Now I could spend my whole rent check on a 3D0 and play it again. I'm not sure the whole retro vibe is that important.
• John Madden Football - Madden is a nice football game for the 3DO. While somewhat graphically impressive, its features and playability don't match up to the cartridge versions of the game. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game to play, but I expected more than a retro-conversion of the first Genesis cart for EA's flagship sports game.
