3do jap worth getting

[vic_viper]

As for it being the first great CD machine, I'm sure a lot of PC Engine, Mega CD and FM Towns Marty owners would disagree...

You are a funny guy! Imagine a Mega CD owner that actually liked the machine and the Marty, what a let-down that was when it came to software. Surely most p.c engine owners love the HuCards not the cd`s.

The 3DO was cool, thats how I will leave it. 8)

The Mega-CD was and still is a fine if under utilized piece of kit.

With releases like Snatcher, Sonic CD, Final Fight, Batman, Lunar and even odd ball stuff like Switch the Mega-CD pisses all over anything the 3DO could muster.

As for your comments about the PC Engine.....Dracula X, Rainbow Islands, Gradius 2 Gofer, Gate of Thunder, Winds / Lords Of Thunder, R-Type Complete and Splash Lake & many more i've not mentioned all easily outclass anything on the 3DO too.

I had an FZ-1 which was a great looking machine, one of my favs as it happens.

The loading times are bad though, still...it's an ok machine, but I think you have to be quite fanatical about the hardware and software that is avaiable to get a 'lot' of enjoyment from this console.

I think a snes or a megadrive is a better purchase in all honesty

You should add IMO to comments like this and try not to imply your word is final as it clearly isn't.
The 3DO was a very good console and offered classics like Need for Speed which was worth owning a 3do for on it's own.
The list of very good games on the 3do(for the time)is quite a long one somethimg the Mega-CD severley lacked and the 3do was easily the best out of the two.
I'll add an IMO
