3DO

3DO Interactive Multiplayer
Still under some minor construction.

Brainchild of Electronic Arts' founder Trip Hawkins, the 3DO was not one specific console, but a standard developed by The 3DO Company. Different models were produced by Panasonic, Sanyo, GoldStar, and Creative Labs under license. The games are supposed to be fully compatible with any 3DO console of any region; however, there are a few issues with early GoldStar units, as well as with certain NTSC games on PAL consoles.

Most people have a misunderstanding. See, they think because the 3DO did not sell well, that it's a bad system with bad games. That's so far from the truth it hurts. The 3DO was actually a stellar system that has a decent list of games from good to excellent, and it'a apecialty was really in that it had the best ports/versions of just about everything though it does have a few great exclusives of it's own! Of course there's some AWFUL shit like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, but this list isn't about that. The main problem was the console sold for 699 US Dollars. That's more than the PS3's launch price! Now-a-days you can pick up this for less than $30! There are a lot of variations but the system's main physical law is the fact that you have to plug a controller into another controller for two player... Unless you buy some accessory to get around that.

Another misunderstanding is that they call it "Panasonic 3DO", which is wrong.
