I know you've been waiting for these two reviews for quite a while! Let me know what you think!

I always love the reviews from systems like the 3do. There was so much stuff going on in 1995 and it's fascinating to see games that were so different than today's norm.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH BABY! 3DO!!!!
I'm probably the biggest fan of the system on this site. I always get jazzed when you review titles for that system.
That screenshot of Virtuoso makes the game look really badass. Looks like something out of Heavy Metal Magazine.
I've never played either of these games...most people panned them both. They're cheap games to acquire so I might give them a shot.
Can I recommend the following 3DO games to review that you haven't dived into yet?
Captain Quazar
Cannon Fodder
Out of this World
Flashback
Lemmings
Star Control II
Syndicate
Alone in the Dark II

3DO seems like a really cool system but I've never bought one. I think the biggest reason is the fact that a majority of the most well known titles have been ported to other systems. Still, I really enjoy these reviews since it's one of the few systems I don't own. I second JLH's list.

Awesome! So glad to see these finally come up. I'm surprised that you like Virtuoso as much as you do, but reading the review, it makes sense.
I second JLH's list, especially Captain Quazar and Out of This World, and would add a few more suggestions:
Crime Patrol
Cyberdillo
Dragon Lore
Kingdom: The Far Reaches
Mazer
Star Wars: Rebel Assault
VR Stalker
Wolfenstein 3D
Some of these are not good games, but still deserve a review. There are also a few English-friendly Japanese games, like Taiketsu Rumiizu!! and Peter Frankl's Tower of Puzzle, that might be worth covering.
BTW if you ever review The Horde, be very careful -- when you save the game, it wipes out everything else in your 3DO savegame memory! There are fixed copies that don't do that, but they're few and far between.
