*Wolfenstein 3D

Why? Thats the big question. Why did they bother making it? The game looks really dated now, what with Space Hulk around and it doesn't exactly push the 3DOs processor

==Adverts==

===Retail===

*HMV "Its in the Bag" Xmas Advert - Featuring several games other various platforms, only 1 3DO - PGA Tour Golf (Page 32-33)
*Raven Games London - Retail list with small 3DO section asking to call for prices for US/Jap/UK machines, games and accessories (Page 35)
*Special Reserve - Massive retail list with basically all platforms, 3DO section has about 20 games, and a Goldstar + FIFA and control pad for £279.99 (Page 47)
*Games FX - Small retail advert with various systems for sale, 3DO for sale is used for £299.99 and they also stock "Brand new and used" 3DO games (Page 51)
*Torc - Small retail advert with just names of consoles (presumably for sale) (Page 51)
*The Gathering - Small retail advert with half the ad focused on non gaming (Manga, Tshirts, films etc), 3DO gets a small mention at the end (Page 51)
*Visions - Small retail advert with "Games and Console Stock Exchange" as the headline, also does rental, 3DO is mentioned as a console they are "Dealing in" (Page 51)
*Console City - Small retail advert, even though described as "Official Playstation agents", they are a supplier of various consoles including the 3DO, Goldstar is listed as "Gold Star" for £289 and Panasonics 2nd machine as the "F210 3DO" for £289 (Page 51)
*Trico Consoles - Small retail advert that more focuses on a list of Saturn games, but mentions they sell 3DO along with other consoles (Page 51)
*Gameplay - Full page ad with lots of listings, 3DO section has about 30 games (Including 11th Hour) as well as all 3 UK released consoles, same price of £279.99 (Page 99)

== Letters ==

*3DO Rant - Consumer writing in and asking several questions (Page 78):

1. How much will the M2 add-on for the 3D0 cost and
when will it be available?

CVG: As a standalone machine, probably somewhere in
the region of around £400. The add-on for the original
machines will probably be about £250. It should
be available in very early '96.

2. Is the M2 actually worth buying?
CVG: It sure sounds good on paper and the
demos that we've seen are very promising but
we can't really say yes or no until we've seen
the finished article.

3. Will a beat-'em-up like Virtua Fighter or 1
Toh Shin Den ever be released on
3D0?

CVG: No news as yet, but a couple of
the M2 demos that we've seen
revolved around a beat-'em-up scenario.
Let's hope they sort out an alternative to that
clumsy pad though, can you imagine playing
Virtua Fighter on it!

4. The Sega Saturn, Sony
PlayStation and Ultra 64 seem to get
more attention than the 3DO, will this
ever change?

CVG: The thing is, the other machines you've all men- I

tioned are all newer than the 3D0 and therefore people
are more interested in hearing about them. And if you
remember, the 3DO received an incredible amount of
coverage when it was first released in the States a cou- I
pie of years back, most of which was very favourable

especially when compared to the coverage that the Jaguar was getting.

5. What are the best games to buy for the 3DO?

CVG: You won't go wrong with Return Fire, Cannon Fodder, Theme Park, FIFA and The Need for Speed.

==Other 3DO mentions==

* Page 30 - Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 PC-CD Review - Mention of a 3DO version planned
