Is the 3DO worth buying?
Is the 3DO worth buying?
There's a member selling one for $50. I hadn't even heard of the system until recently so the games would be all be new to me. What are the ups and downs of this system?

I have heard the alien vs predator and street fighter games were great
Re: Is the 3DO worth buying?
Many people hate it but I think it is a great little console. The games don't look especially wonderful but there are some really fun titles. A lot of them are ports and the exclusives are few and far between but if you aren't extremely picky than you can have a lot of fun with the 3DO. It is certainly worth $50.

If you're a fan of the series, the 3DO has the best console port of the first Myst game. There is also a nice port of The Incredible Machine which is very fun.
Also, there is no copy protection on the games so they are easily backed-up or downloaded and burned.

Re: Is the 3DO worth buying?
If you are a system collector go ahead. which version is being sold to you? there are big differences.
I cant say I can recommend it, I do own one with some games, but it has yet to impress me.
I cant afford the popular games, but as a good point, I think the 3DO has no copy protection.
I have a hard time trying to find original games as well. I dont really buy online, so that may not be a problem for you. Or just burn them.
I hope this helps you

Re: Is the 3DO worth buying?
The 3DO is basically like if the Sega CD was a standalone console. Much like the Sega CD, there are many great games on it - but that's not what people remember it for. People remember the incredibly lame 'movie' games on it.
So, just ignore the movie games (or, as I plan to do, get them for novelty value) and you'll have a pretty decent console. Maybe not great, but I'd say it's the best console out there that didn't have a big name like Nintendo, Atari, Sega, etc., footing the bill. (Well, except the Neo Geo...)
