About

This early CD console came out at a whopping $699, limiting its fan base. Only one controller port was included on the system with additional controllers linking off one another. The system had excellent stereo sound and was capable of early 3D polygon graphics. While the system struggled against the stiff competition from Nintendo and Sega, it was blessed with some true gems. Star Control II is worth owning a 3DO for alone. Of the three models released in the US, the FZ-1 is considered to be the best.
