Max-T Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I remember curdling with jealousy when my best friend got one of the first-run Panasoinc FZ-1 3DO game consoles for $450. As soon as I played Need For Speed the first time, I knew I had to have that system. I bought NFS for the PC (DOS OS then), but it didn't look as good. I got NFS2; didn't look as good. Now that I can get 3DO game discs for $5.00, I am seriously watning an orignal Panasonic system. But I cannot freaking find the hardware for a decent price. Were there ever any clones that were reliable and of similar quality? Thank for any hints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Goldstar's 3DO was always my favorite... They weren't quite CLONES, several companies licensed the hardware and made different versions of the 3DO. All played the same games without a hitch, but some had extras, like an MPEG decoder card for VCDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenomorpher Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I got my FZ-10 with 18 games for $77.77 on ebay and that was my highest bid and it was like that for hours and I was so nervous because I couldnt go higher and yes 7 is my lucky number. Now I barely play it. I have NFS but its ok. I kinda want to get rid of it but I want to keep it and see if there are any really good games worth keeping.
