The 3DO.... Oh God *throws up*
Worst console ever 🤣
The 3DO is a *fantastic* console. SOME of the games were utter crap, and it was too expensive new because they chose not to lose money on the hardware unlike the usual console pricing model, and that gave it a bad reputation, but it's actually a really good system. Heaps more powerful than anything else that was around when it launched and it really raised the bar for the second generation of 32-bit consoles that came after it.
In addition to the crap games, it also got some AMAZING ones that really showed it off (unlike e.g. the Jaguar where 90% of the titles barely used the hardware.) Go play the original Need for Speed (the whole series started on 3DO!), Starfighter, Stellar 7 as mentioned, Street Fighter II Turbo, Gex, Shockwave II, Total Eclipse, or Road Rash and tell me this is a "bad" system. And keep in mind it came out a year and a half before the Playstation or Saturn, right at the height of the console race.
In other news, I accidentally an auction.
