Product Description
The original edition of the console, the FZ-1, was referred to in full as the 3DO REAL Interactive Multiplayer. The console had advanced hardware features at the time: an ARM60 32-bit RISC CPU, two custom video co-processors, a custom 16-bit DSP and a custom math co-processor. It also featured 2 megabytes of DRAM, 1 megabyte of VRAM, and a double speed CD-ROM drive for main CD+Gs or Photo CDs (and Video CDs with an add-on MPEG video module).[2] The 3DO included the first music visualizer in a game console, converting CD music to a mesmerizing color pattern. The controller was also original for its time; a headphone jack and volume dial was available at the bottom of the initial version.

Launched in 1993, at a price point of $699.99, it was intended as a standard from which various manufacturers and developers could work from. The 3DO company did not manufacture the game units, instead they licensed out the idea for a small fee in royalties. Ahead of its time, it boasted a CD-ROM drive (capable of playing games and photo and music CDs) as well as powerful 3D graphics capabilities. The system could be used as a CD player, and had standard AV outputs including component and S-video. Among other innovations were controllers that could be daisy chained together (physically linked together through a connector port on the back of each controller), and a built in game save ROM.

If you are looking for the best graphics, smoothest gameplay or coolest titles dont buy the 3DO.But if you are looking for a very unique experience, off the wall games, fun games, family games, adult games. Then the 3DO is perfect for you@@ Very fun, = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Panasonic 3DO FZ-1 System - Video Game Console (Video Game) This system is a very good one. It is more of a collector's item because the are expensive and are usually broken. Most of the games for it have been released on other systems like the need for speed, gex, and road rash but some of them are better on this system.It has a built in power supply, permanetly attached power cord, can use any standard rf, composite, or s-video cables, and has an expansion slot for a rare video cd player (not dvd). There is only one controller port but every 3do controller has another controller port on it so they can be daisy-chained together with up to 8 players. There are also some fun games that were not released on other game consoles like the first two alone in the dark games and quarintine. If you have the money then this might suit you well. |
