*Escape From Monster Manor - But the biggest failing is that most of the screens are too empty of things for you to interact with, And the occasional 3D gems and coins that you pick up seem to have almost no effect on the game — they're just money in the bank.

==Letters==

*3DO Questions - Letter from a potential 3DO buyer about how the machine will shape up against the upcoming releases from Sony and Sega (Edge noted there was a confirmation of an upgrade) and about the developers from Japan/ Edge noted all the big hitters had signed up with a total of 110 Japanese Developers. (Page 97)
