3DO players

[mesk]

Just thought I would mention that a new emulator,4DO is actively being worked on and has much better compatibility and does not need a loader to work with GameEX anymore.

4DO Emulator

What nobody like the 3DO? it had 1 or 2 good games....maybe LOL

It still blows my mind that this POS system was over $700 in 1993 when it was released.thats what about $2500 in todays dollars with all the awesome inflation?

May give it a try eventually. Trying to get what I already have setup and working the way I exepct it to.

Never played with a 3DO, but I do remember the commercials!

Wasn't there a giant turd of a Zelda game released for the 3DO? I remember some guy buying one at the store years ago. The employees were amazed he was plopping down all that money.

No,you are thinking of the Philips CD-R...another wonderful "all in one" entertainment box from the mid 90's...lol just as expensive as the 3DO and about the same shitty quality..

Actually it was three: Zelda Adventure, The Faces of Evil, and The Wand of Gamelon. And yes all three were shitty. Somehow someone greenlighted all three of these massive turds that I as a huge fan of the series don't even acknowledge. I have spent some time on Faces and the Wand titles at a friend's and may play them again someday (the cutscenes were actually cool), but as I recall Adventure got thrashed by every reviewer ever. Not even interested in trying it out.

Much like me being a huuuge Mario fan and refusing to admit they made a movie. It never happened. Seriously!

I remember sellling them during my brief stint at Software Etc. (Bought out by Babbage's). They hardly moved. It probably didn't help that I pushed for the Nintendo and Sega consoles heavier (more titles, better support and program quality, etc.).

Even though they gave Mario Hotel a C+, for some reason I feel compelled to try it out. I'm a sucker for puzzle games! Of course they can't all be Super Puzzle Fighter. I've come to terms with that. Lol!

I miss Software, Etc. The one I went to had the best employees of any tech type store I've been to before or since.

Other than the inter-store politics and our lame-o district manager, it was alright for part-time work. I loved some of the smarmy techie-types that told me I would NEVER get Windows 95 to work on a 386 DX with 4 MB RAM. I had batch files running batch files tweaking memory on a per-game basis to prove them wrong.

I remember Software Ect. selling C64 games back in the days. Ahhh the memories
