I have Twisted for 3DO as well, isn't it the wacky game show?

Anyway, I haven't been too impressed by Twisted, either, although I should give it another chance.


It's fun but it's a multiplayer game only, unless you want to play against yourself.

The trivia is from 1993, and is a bit outdated but the other minigames play well. I love the presentation of the game, it reminds me a bit of the old Nickelodeon show "Out of Control" mixed with some cable access programming.

There is a sequel of sorts called Zhadnost, same basic gameplay, more of an Eastern European theme.


I'm gonna bust out my 3DO and give Twisted another chance....this summer.

I don't know why but playing Twisted makes me feel depressed. It must have a toxic atmosphere below all its cheese.

Need for Speed was better on the Playstation and Saturn than it was on the 3DO.

I am going to have to disagree here too. I think the 3DO version has better/more detailed graphics. The game is less "arcade-y" than the PS1 port too which I appreciate in that particular game. I will say that the PS1 port has more spectacular crashes, even between the AI drivers. I remember a pile up I witnessed in the 90s that will never leave my mind. On one of the bonus tracks about 10 opponent cars went all retarded and smashed into one another. My buddy and me laughed for nearly two weeks. It was SO FUNNY HAHA!

Did you try to save it yet with something like Alcohol 52%, Josh? I dunno what format 3DO discs are in, whether mode1, mode2, and all one data track or mixed mode, but I would try seeing if you can fully rip it. Alcohol 52% can rip it to CloneCD format. Would be curious to see if a PC drive will read those sectors out with no problems.

that disc, while being cracked like that, probably still plays flawlessly because at the start of the disc isn't where the crack is to be seen or maybe the bootcode to say "yes im a 3d0 disc" is kept somewhere else on the disc. i've had cd's that were cracked before hand and audio CDs that had the beginning warped a bit and still had no issues. OOTW is a pretty small game i don't know if it has any enhanced moments or given any polish. you might be lucky and all the data on the game is written far after the crack. maybe the beginning of the disc was dummied out or maybe it has an audio track in that area stating its a disc made for 3d0 so take it out of your player and put it in the 3d0.
