• Supreme Warrior - I wouldn't have complained a bit. If the game was a balanced mix between a video game and ultra-cool live action Kung Fu, I would've kissed the CD and adopted it. Come on Digital Pictures, we wouldn't have been upset if some of the game wasn't FMV.
• Star Wars Rebel Assault - The fact that this game is so great gives me hope that Lucasarts will soon see the 3DO as a viable platform for future games.
• The Need For Speed - If you own a 3DO and don't add this game to your collection, you're really missing out. It's not perfect, but it feels so real, you won't care! ((And, man…being able to finally drive that Ferrari doesn't hurt, either!)
• Drug Wars - Crime Patrol is an excellent shooter! You may remember other American Laser Games games like Mad Dog McCree, Who Shot Johnny Rock? and Space Pirates. Crime Patrol is the best yet!
• Family Feud - Gametek's Family Feud boasts over 4,000 new survey questions and answers taken from the actual television show. And some of them are toughies.
• Station Invasion - The puzzles are very simplistic, good perhaps for a very young audience. The most interesting show is the soap opera, Sundaes of Our Lives.
• ESPN Lets Play Soccer - The repartee is pretty yawn inspiring. But they do offer a lot of information. All the basics for defensive and offensive strategies and theory. As well as specific instructions on stance, angling, channeling, etc. This is an interactive instructional CD
• World Cup Golf - There are better golf games for 3DO. World Cup Golf Hyatt Dorado Beach is just difficult to use. The shot display, or the shot dialogue box, includes control arrows, power meter, sweet spot, swing meter, and tolerance zone. The interface is not very user-friendly.
• Waialae Country Club - Waialae Country Club is one of a series of amazingly realistic golf simulation games that allow you to play great golf courses all over the world.
