The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer is a 32-bithome video game console developed by The 3DO Company and designed by New Technologies Group, released in North America by Panasonic first on 4 October 1993.[1] It was the first programmable console developed under the 3DO brand and the only one to be officially released on the market. The following list contains all of the known games released for the 3DO platform as well as aftermarket (homebrew) titles and arcade games that used the 3DO hardware.
Unveiled at the May's 1992 Summer Consumer Electronics Show, hosting a number of cutting-edge technologies and highly promoted during launch including being named Time magazine's '1993 Product of the Year', the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer is unique from all fifth generation consoles in that its technical specifications could be licensed by third parties such as GoldStar (now LG Corp) and Sanyo for manufacturing while The 3DO Company would collect a royalty on each console sold and on each game published.[2][3][4][5] The system was released to compete with 16-bit consoles such as the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System and other systems such as the Amiga CD32, Atari Jaguar, Philips CD-i and later in its life cycle the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. The 3DO struggled to achieve a substantial success during most of its life and by 1996, the platform and game development for it were discontinued.[6][7] A total of more than 200 games were developed and released for the console during its official commercial run. Originally released at US$699.99,[8] later 3DO models were less expensive to manufacture than the launch unit and were sold for considerably lower prices.[9][10] Around 2 million units were sold in total.[11] A successor, the Panasonic M2, was slated for release but its launch was aborted.[12]

3DO System History
[edit]
The 3DO was a concept. 'Create the blueprints for a next-generation, 32-bit, do-it-all, set-top system that is fully upgradeable and license the actual hardware manufacturing to some of the world's largest electronics manufacturers.' That's the 3DO. Trip Hawkins, founder of the 3DO company, joined forces with RJ Mical and Dave Needle to create the most innovative system of the '90s. The 3DO was originally designed to be the next step in home entertainment: Audi-o, vide-o, 3D-O. The creators hoped it would become as common as the VCR and as fun and entertaining as a TV, VCR, CD player, videogame system and computer combined. The idea was sound. Unfortunately, the execution of the idea was not.
Many companies obtained licenses to produce 3DO systems, including Goldstar, Sanyo, Samsung, AT&T, Creative Labs and the world's largest electronics company, Matsushita/Panasonic. With the idea that the 3DO was to become a multifunctional part of everyone's home entertainment centers, the unit was released in 1993 with an MSRP of $700 (and sometimes sold for even higher prices). Even though the system was touted as being a do-all set-top box of the future, most people saw it as an extremely expensive videogame system. With game system styled controllers, a lack of quality non-game launch titles and pack-in titles like Crash 'n Burn, the perception of the 3DO as a videogame system was planted in the consumer mind. At $700 to $800, most people steered clear of the 3DO and continued to purchase the much cheaper and more established 16-bit game consoles. Goldstar released their own version of the 3DO with a far lower price tag of $399. However, the 3DO never recovered from its initial reputation as a rich man's videogame system. This was very unfortunate as the 3DO could have easily competed with the Playstation, Saturn and future systems. Instead, because of constant delays to promised expansions like the M2 (see below), 3DO games and systems were placed in clearance bins starting in 1996, with the ultimate death of the system coming near the end of that year.
The 3DO sported some very innovative features. The fact that it is a CD-based system gave developers nearly limitless space to store their games and programs, something cartridge-based systems lack. There was only one controller port. However, this wasn't a problem since extra controllers (up to 8) could be easily daisy-chained as each controller has its own controller port. The original Panasonic controllers have a built-in stereo headphone jack along with a volume control dial. The system has its own internal memory to save games and other information. It has 2 expansion ports which were to be used for future upgrades such as memory cards, modems, digital video cartridges and the M2 system upgrade. Many of these features you won't find on any game system on the market today. The 3DO was definitely ahead of its time and designed for the long haul.
Games
Amazingly, for a system with such a short life span, there were hundreds of titles released worldwide. Of course the liberal licensing policy had much to do with this. The policy was both a blessing and a nightmare as the 3DO saw some of the finest games ever created and some of the worst trash that somehow escaped the incinerator.
There are gems like Gex, where the hero is a gecko that climbs walls and uses his tail to fight enemies and break down walls, while collecting power-ups and other items with his whip-like tongue. Star Control 2 is a space RPG ported from the PC, upgraded with complete voiceovers for all of the text in the game and gameplay that worked much better on a console than on the PC it was originally designed for. Need for Speed and Road Rash need no introduction. Those two made their debut on the 3DO and were considered far superior to the Playstation ports. Captain Quazar is one of the best 3DO platform games--a fun story, coupled with excellent gameplay and lots of replay value made this a must-have game. Finally, 3DO has one of the most popular arcade games ever: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. It is probably the best port of the game on all the systems it was released on.
On the flip side, you'll find a neat pile a garbage. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is a fine example of a bad idea gone very wrong. You are supposed to sit through a choose-your-own-adventure style of story, watching still photos while an extremely poorly acted story plays out. This is supposedly an adult game. However, there is less adult content than you would see on The Simpsons. Mazer was supposed to compete with Captain Quazar. Fortunately, angry consumers competed by trying to be the first to return this waste of packaging back to the store for a refund. Shadow: War of Succession must be the result of angry employees hoping to have their company, Tribecca Digital, go bankrupt. This fighting game is so horrible, some reviewers openly insulted Tribecca in their reviews.

Accessories
There were many accessories for the 3DO, some of them standard (like gamepads, wireless controllers and a lightgun). Then there were more unique items like the mouse, steering wheel, flight stick and the Super Nintendo controller adapters which allowed the cheaper Super NES controllers to be used on the 3DO. However, there were even more impressive items available that truly allowed the 3DO to stand alone.
Each system had its own version of the digital video cartridge, although the Goldstar version was the only one to be released in the United States. Both Panasonic versions were released in Japan, however. These expansion modules allowed people to play Video CDs or VCDs on their systems, effectively giving them most of the functions of a VCR. VCDs never caught on, however, and many Panasonic 3DO owners never had the chance to purchase these devices.
The Panasonic memory expansion module added 256k of much needed storage memory to the 3DO. The 3DO only had 32k of internal storage memory, and system owners soon clamored for this much needed accessory. Unfortunately, it was only released in Japan which made it very difficult to obtain anywhere else.
Regrettably, many highly anticipated accessories never made it out of the prototype stage. Distance nwu ac za downloads. Most notable were the memory card add-on, the modem and the massively promoted 64bit M2 system upgrade module.
Emulation Free biorhythms calculator.
There are a small number of 3DO emulators, the most popular of which is FreeDO. In addition, Creative Labs released a PC card that plugs into your computer called the 3DO Blaster. This card requires a specific Creative Labs 2x CD drive to function which could be purchased separately or packaged with the PC card. This item could be considered an emulator, although it was really a 3DO system made for a Windows 3.1 PC.
