  • PaTaank - All in all, PaTaank is a good game. It's fun to shoot around the table in a first-person perspective, and the video clips and humorous goals add to the enjoyability.
  • Off World Interceptor - Racing game fanatics and shooter addicts alike will be blown away by Off-World Interceptor. It's a killer ride.
  • Soccer Kid - Studio 3DO's first American release is a conversion of a Super Famicom game that was released in Japan over a year ago. But it's a blast! Soccer Kid is a fabulously fun platform game with lots of action.
  • Sherlock Holmes - It's a long, involved adventure that doesn't get exciting right away. Essentially, this is a direct port of the PC adventure game.
  • Guardian Wars - Guardian War doesn't involve a lot of puzzle solving like many traditional role-playing games. But the multitude of fighting sequences makes for a more exciting RPG.
  • VR Stalker - A "360-degree air combat simulator" that leaves a lot to be desired. Pilot a VR Stalker: either an F-14, F-16, F-117, F-119, A-10 or X-2.
  • Mega Race - A clever racing game with obvious influences from sci-fi flicks like Blade Runner, Running Man and Road Warrior.
  • FIFA - How great is FIFA Soccer on the 3DO? I think Video Games Executive Editor Chris Bieniek put it best after an intense four player session: "Couldn't you just play this all day long?!" I couldn't agree more!
