3DO Games - ranked by preference

Sort by: Showing 5 items
People who added this item 7  Average listal rating (5 ratings) 7.8  
1. Super Street Fighter II Turbo - 3DO
Release Date: November 13, 1994 (JP)
Publisher: Panasonic
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Fighting


If you loved Street Fighter II, this game alone was worth buying the 3DO for. This was the definitive Street Fighter II game, with Akuma as an unlockable boss fight and tweaks and refinements to the combat to improve on a formula that had previously seemed perfect. Most of my childhood belongs to Street Fighter II games, but even after all these years, it's still a joy to throw fireballs in the face of anyone, man or computer, that dares challenge me.

Release Date: 1994 (NA)
Publisher: SSI
Developer: Lion Entertainment, Inc.
Genre: Adventure - First-Person


I remember putting this game in for the first time and expecting the worst. Then a neat little introduction occurred, which brought my interest up. Then I started to play and explore around...And before I knew it, I had lost a couple of hours of my life to this game. The beauty of this game is that the game randomizes the dungeons every time you play. That means, every time you start up the game, you're getting a new experience...And with the game boasting that the in-game dungeon generation can create over 4 billion dungeon possibilities, there's a whole heckuva lot to keep folks coming back to discover more.

3. Shanghai: Triple Threat - 3DO
Release Date: December 16, 1994 (JP)
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Electronic Arts Victor
Genre: Puzzle


I've always been a fan of the Shanghai games. I just find them to be simple fun. For those who want to get an idea of how this game is played, check Google. I know there are plenty of free-to-play versions in Flash on the internet. That being said, this unique puzzle game of matching up tiles can be very addicting...Addicting enough where I placed it this high on the 3DO list.

4. GEX - 3DO
Release Date: November 16, 1994 (NA)
Publisher: BMG Interactive Entertainment
Developer: Crystal Dynamics
Genre: Platformer


I don't mind some 3D platformers, but when I want to play a platformer, I'd rather it be 2D. That being said, Gex is a 2D platformer that often gets overlooked. Later games in the series never quite catch the magic of this one, which I happen to believe is the best platformer (that I've played anyway) on the 3DO system.

5. Road Rash - 3DO
Release Date: January 1, 1994 (NA)
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Monkey Do Productions
Genre: Racing - Arcade-Style


I don't remember the exact quote, but I remember reading that the guy in charge of marketing for the 3DO stated that had Road Rash been a launch title, he believed that the 3DO would have been much, much more successful than it was. I don't know if I'd go that far, but Road Rash was pretty amazing for its time...A 3D racing game where players can use bats, nightsticks, and fists to knock other racers out of the picture. It was a blast to play, and it may have been at its best on the 3DO console.

I'll be doing lists like this for all systems eventually. As I play games for the system, I'll add them to the list. They're ranked by my own personal preference, so keep that in mind if you can't figure out why game A is ranked above game B.

For release date info, I took the first release date and included the region the date comes from. Here's the key for that: NA - North America, JP - Japan, EU - Europe, AU - Australia

This list is a work-in-progress. I've played more 3DO games than this, but I'll just be adding a few at a time, so I can work on other lists and not get burned out, while still making this look better than having a few comments at first and a bunch of blank entries afterward.

I really liked the PlayStation port of Gex, which I believe was mostly the same. I also enjoyed the sequels.

Thinking about it now, the wall and ceiling crawling is very much like in Spider-Man games.

I always wanted to get a 3DO just to play Dr. Hauzer.
