Good 3DO games for someone who hates FMV

[port187]

There also was a really good D&D RPG, don't remember the name though.

Lucienne's Quest

I haven't played Strahl. I have played Triad Stone on Laseractive, which is supposedly the same game. It's a Dragons Lair type game where if you're too late in pressing the button, you see the death scene. If you hate these action on rails type of game, then it is not for you. There are some good action scenes in the game though.

However I looked at the back of the box for Strahl on Saturn. It says that there are 48 different endings depending on how well you do. This definitely was not the case in Triad Stone. So, if you still want to buy Strahl, you may find some replay value. But, I doubt that it's anything more than the ending scene becoming longer by 1-48 seconds.

About Strahl, it had a US release that's in English. I don't remember enough about the gameplay to recommend it with any confidence, but I do know my copy has western copyright information and was bought in a standard game store that didn't usually do imports.

Definitely strongly recommend this game also, though it is an FMV game in the Dragons Lair mould, best example of it imo. Amazing game.

power powwwEER POwEEERRRR POWER

starfighter was a good 3do game, much better than the ps1 and saturn versions

Wolfenstein 3d is probably the ultimate port of it. Don't bother with Doom though. If your willing to play it at a tiny size.

What about that Japanese title named "Autobahn", what genre is that, is it any good? I'd love to have a title called Autobahn, I'd probably put it next to my Kraftwerk LP collection :love2:

"Autobahn Tokio" is a racing game. Is it good? Nope... but it's a nice addition to one's collection, since they really tried to pull off some sort of "Gran Turismo" clone (but ultimately failed ;-)).

Star Control II?????!!!!!!!

There is also a region lock on Wolfenstein 3D. The PAL version will not play on a US 3DO, you just get a message telling you so.

There was a US release of Star Control 2 as well. Great game, I want a 3DO just for this game. Has some good voice acting in it, at least that's what I remember. It's not a FMV, but more like a space RPG.

Also even though it does have FMV in it, it doesn't take way the game is Wing Commander III. Great space combat sim. Did Super Wing Commander come out on the 3D0 as well? I can't remember.

I only heard about Alone in the Dark and Doctor Hauzer, not sure if they're good.

very odd my US copy of that game works on my Japanese FZ-10

Here's a video showing the warning message you get when trying to play PAL Wolfenstein 3D in an NTSC 3DO:

Interesting how they call it 'Wolfenstein 3DO'

Never seen that message before one my old 3do before it broke but my FZ-10 ( japanese ) plays everything thus far

And my FZ-10 never hiccuped once, runs like a charm - don't know where that "unrealiability"-mythos came from.
Fifa Soccer is also a blast with a few friends (that was the first "3D" Fifa game btw.)

Also, you need some Ballz! (just for the name of it)

Probably Slayers or Deathkeep.

Doom for the 3DO is a garbage port (opinions may differ), though the sound track is really something.

Doom on anything but the PC is garbage.

[ptz3233]

play PO'ed its an amazing game and was also my favorite 3do game. Also gex if you havent played it already

[ASSEMbler]

Star Control. Best game on 3do

[Flash]

Doom on anything but the PC is garbage.

Even on Mac where it's exactly the same as PC one ? Or PSX Final Doom which had master levels turned into normal single player iwad ?
For 3DO Doom well, i can't understand why it had a lot less levels than PC one, it was the f....ng cdrom after all. But music was just great.

[seemoremacstuff]

Well, if you like puzzle games the Incredible Machine is pretty good.

Yeah Super Wing Commander is on 3DO, I used to have it.

Thing about the 3DO, IMO its the best failed console there is, it's not like Jaguar or somesuch, it has a library of good, and recognisible titles.
