it was awful, it didn't have a dust cover ffs.
i have the 3DO, i like it, i like the daisy chain pads, makes sence that only 1 wire goes acorss the floor to the machine.
i like the pads too, head phone socket in there too, and it plays CDI movies i believe... not 100% tho.
street fighter on it is very good, i've played a few times with a mate, there are load times which is odd compared to the cartridge systems, but the music and flow of the game is great.
gex is an awesome platformer for it, by far the best gex i've played, the other being a 3D version on the PS1 which is piss.
road rash is good, as good as the PS version anyway, although at the time, and now i still prefer the Mega drvie version.
i have a top down C&Q style game for it, but the name of it i can't remember, its not very good tho.
a strange one i own is PO'ed, i really enjoy it, haven't quite finished it yet, who has the time? but its very much along the lines of the old school FPS doom, and wolfenstiens. almost a half life setting, your a cook, on a ship, it goes tits up and you end up fighting your way through aliens, jsut a normal dude in a mad setting, with a frying pan...
one of the more frantic, harder levels...
i never owned a jaguar, but played one at a friends house, once or twice, it was his dad's, sat in their living room, he had some racing 4x4 game, tempest 2000 and a pinball game, never let us play it often (i think he thought it was going to be like the atari 2600 of his youth), but i have since seen and played tempest, its ok, watching my friend's da play it was enough, it was gooseberry fool, we went into the kitchen most times and played his master system hooked up to a black and white 12" portable
thats how bad the jag was.
