There are a number of pornos that Vivid Interactive meant to translate into games but never was able to, which means I don’t have to play them, thankfully. And their really tacky special effects engineers. This article will hopefully be something that everyone can look back on to laugh about the developer who practically ruined the Panasonic 3DO with a mindless slush of shit games. So, for the good of the Bacon, I’ve played through each of Vivid Interactive’s so called “ games” and reviewed them so that no one else has to. If you’ve ever heard of Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties, these games are much, much worse, which is why I thought this would be a fun topic to discuss, being that Nerd Bacon is all about obscure retro titles. I’m talking about porn-publisher-turned-game-developer Vivid Interactive and their wholesome library of crappy softcore FMV games for the 3DO that came out between 19. I’m not talking specs, or comparisons to other fifth generation systems, I’m here to talk about a shit load of porn. Ladies and, probably mostly, Gentlemen, it’s time for a bit of a history lesson about the Panasonic 3DO. So I will be referring to the system as the “Panasonic 3DO.” If anything it has the WORST commercial ever.* NOTE: While the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer hardware was built by multiple developers, Panasonic is typically the most popular of them all. Id say if we look at all consoles made then the would be the worst console besides the CD-I. Wish SSF becomes as good by the end of this decade. It would have also have lessened the PS1's awesome library since a lot of games that became PS1 exclusives were also going to have a Saturn version.Įmulation wise, Kega Fusion is amazing. If the Saturn wasnt released too soon, nd maybe the development wasnt rushed with the different 3D processors then it would have been easier to develop for, and then the release date would have happened so people would have had enough time to plan and make games for it. Id say the Sega CD and that Genesis/CD combo unit was the beginning of Segas downfall, the 32X was further proof of things not right in the head, and then the Saturn Day release was the final nail in their coffin, the Dreamcast was their last chance at holding on and staying in the console business, but it was too late. I watched that Spoony review of the Highlander game, the damn thing closes ON the cd pretty much, wow what a design flaw. Greatly harmed SEGA's reputation, IMO.And very buggy. It was definitely one of the most ill advised released in history. The 32X was not the worst system ever by far. Out of the box my laptop was fine, but I noticed those problems a little bit after running that for a while. I still haven't figured out if that is the program that ruined my laptop's memory causing it to freeze up every few minutes or if it was something else. The main thing that sucks about the Saturn emulator is that you pretty much need to be running Daemon Tools virtual cd drive while you run it. I'd like to get another 3DO system when I can afford one so I can play Bust-A-Move 1 and some overlooked fighters & RPGs. I'm so glad authentic 3DO's play burned games. My main problem with whatever Jag emulator I used was that most roms I wanted to try wouldn't boot on it. I don't think I saw USB joystick support for the one I had tried Zool 2 on. With Jaguar I haven't even looked for anything new yet.

Either that or it's just because they haven't gotten far enough with them. The Wii and Xbox emulation of it are more like proof of concept as neither system can handle it from what I see. 4DO is laggy and FreeDO doesn't support USB joystick making it undesirable for me even if it might run better than 4DO now. Saturn has gotten a bit better with the newer version of SSF but the other two still don't seem very good.
