News

  • 3DO 64-Bit Looks Hot - Article about several buts of 3DO news, first is the showing of the M2 video (Hoverrace followed by the FPS), Goldstar planning on releasing a portable 3DO, "something that looks like a Sony Discman with a Flip-top TV". The new M2 standalone looks like the PS1, while the controller is "so hot" they are keeping it under wraps. Lastly about the deal with Williams that includes Mortal Kombat 3 and NBA Jam. (Page 18)
  • E3 Rumours - Rumour about Sega signing up the M2 to use as an upgrade to the Saturn (Page 18)

  • Wing Commander 3 - All in all, the story and special effects are breathtaking and the gameplay addictive. Wing Commander III is absolutely a must-play.
  • Myst - The classic PC adventure comes to the 3DO and the result is exciting. While the graphics are slightly inferior to the PC CD-ROM version, there are no worries regarding installation since the 3DO is plug-and-play.
  • Rise Of The Robots - Perhaps the worst fighting game of all time, Rise of the Robots ironically features some of the best graphics ever seen in a beat-'em-up.
  • Quarantine - Quarantine had the potential to be a killer 3-D, first-person shoot-'em-up. Set in a post-apocalyptic, crime ridden world, the player drives a cab and must transport frightened citizens across town.
  • Wicked 18 - Just what we need, another golf game. But wait! Wicked 18 is different, very different…because it's set in Hell!
  • Fun N Games - This game is sure to satisfy the single-digit aged set. There are lots of things to color. Plus a magical musical piano that allows players to write their own songs or play tunes on the disk with a wide variety of instruments.
  • Slam N Jam - If you're looking for a simulator, this is not for you. The players in Slam 'N Jam are fictional; Shaq and Charles Barkley are nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, the play is realistic. You can't leap 20 feet into the air and do a 720° dunk.
