are there any good games here?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Tempest 2000 is cool and I always enjoyed the 3DO version of Road Rash

Oh wow Gex. There's a game I totally forgot about. Poor little guy didn't stand a chance one that Geico Gecko came along. There can be only one.

Gex and Tempest 2000 are awesome! I jam Gex all the time on my 3DO, I didn't know Tempest 2000 came out for the 3DO, but that's cool, I kinda want it now.

Panzer General is a difficult, but good game. Loosely based off of Squad Leader/ASL it may not be as good as VASL but it is still good.
Wing Commander III is also a pretty decent title.

Seeing that Geico Gecko always brings back memories of Gex. :)

DRAGONS LAIR - This game was a hit in the arcades but at home you'll probably only play it twice at the most.
ROAD RASH - This is probably the best 3D Road Rash, even though most of the models are actually 2D sprites!
ESCAPE FROM MONSTER MANOR - I wouldn't normally recommend fps for the 3DO.
GEX - This is a decent platformer indeed. But the PS/Saturn version was superior thanks to the extra voice acting (afaik).
PANZER GENERAL - It's a turn-based strategy game. Twas decent back in the day but I could not recommend it.
WING COMMANDER III Heart of the Tiger (4 disk) - A half-decent space sim with too much FMV. I prefer WC Prophecy but WCIII is similar
IMMERCENARY - Another tedious fps title that had the obligatory FMV bits
THE NEED FOR SPEED - Only tried the PC version. Not bad at all.
VR STALKER - Never tried/heard of this one
REAL PINBALL - Ditto
TEMPEST 2000 - I'm pretty positive the 3DO never had a port of Tempest 2000
DOOM - The 3DO port was just awful
PUTT PUTT Joins the Parade - Never tried/heard of this one
WOLFENSTEIN 3D - Pretty old and outdated
SHOCK WAVE - The sequel was much better
TOTAL ECLIPSE - Not a bad space sim but overshadowed by WCIII back in 1995
SAMPLER CD - No info

If you wish to get him more games, refer to this earlier discussion.
