3DO To Go: Paddock Note ‘95

with 2 comments

TRHOnline.com and Rising Stuff present yet another episode of 3DO To Go. In this entry into the ongoing depths of the strange world of gaming that is the 3DO, I look at Paddock Note ‘95, a Horse Racing Simulation. It was released in 1995 by Fuji Television and was a Japanese only release. Because of that though, the entire game is in Japanese… a language I neither speak nor read.

3DO To Go: Pyramid Intruder

TRHOnline.com and Rising Stuff present yet another episode of 3DO To Go! In this episode I review Pyramid Intruder, a 1995 Japanese only release by Taito. Pyramid Intruder is a partial remake/adaptation of Sega’s LaserActive title Pyramid Patrol from 1993. A simple shoot-em-up, Pyramid Intruder is a flawed but fun import game.

Deck Us All (With Boston Charlie)

Sorry folks, but 3DO To Go is taking the week off for the Holidays… which may include next week as well depending on how the roads are this upcoming weekend (as I will be doing some travelling). Instead, we present to you this special Holiday greeting brought to you by myself, a Guitar Hero controller rigged up as a MIDI instrument, and a lot of ripping off the late, great Walt Kelly. There’s a second video after the jump as well…

Comparing 3DO Models

with 3 comments

Rather than review a game this week, I take a look at the multitude of different 3DO models instead. Which 3DO should someone trying to get into this lost world of gaming attempt to track down?

By the way, we’re still looking to rename this segment. If you’d like to suggest a name, stop by our forum thread about it and make your suggestion!
