Title: FOR RAFFLE: 3DO Game Secrets book
Post by: ProfessorProfessorson on March 24, 2015, 06:04:58 AM
Basically a 280 page strategy guide that covers the more popular 3DO titles. In addition to game tips and what not, they tend to do some extra info about the games background in a lot of the entries. Winner covers shipping. Can do media mail to keep the cost down as far as shipping in the USA goes. The books condition is fair. It has a lot of wear, but is intact.

Holy Moly, throw my name in the Hatris!

I would love to read this.

I have 3DO, of course.

Nope.

Check the cover, it will show what the book offers game wise. I'm fairly sure the second book they did coveres Gex.

Not many entered, so going to give this a couple more weeks. Anyone else want to make a go of it?

Not many folks have a 3DO, I reckon.

Or, not many willing to publicly admit it.

Esteban wins, for only he was brave enough to face the 3DO and tame the wild serpent.

Woohoo!

I have a bunch of CD-i and 3DO magazines I gotta scan. Maybe this book will inspire me to pull out the 3DO and play some Star Control II and scan magazines.

This silly book has already inspired me to take out my 3DO and play a bunch of games!

It's funny...I also want to get some games I see in the book but have never played. I can't believe that MEGARACE is tempting me, but it is.

I should know better.

Megarace is on the Sega CD too.  The intro is pretty cheesy.

Don't tell me that! Then I will have to find both the 3DO and Sega CD versions to compare them! :)
I'm serious.

The Sega CD one is pretty terrible. Bad frame rate, missing effects, lower then normal colors, etc. Stick with the 3DO one.

You are being perfectly reasonable, but....

I'm really not kidding. I'm a pretty hard core Mega Race fan. I love both pt 1 and 2, but seriously, not much can convince me to play pt1 on Sega CD again. It was a really sloppy port. Everything is ok till the race starts. Thats where everything goes south really fast....

OK, maybe I won't buy the Sega CD version. :)
