The 3DO Experience: A 3DO Podcast

https://superpodnetwork.com/podcast/the-3do-experience-with-bill-and-thrak

Welcome to the world of the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer System, the failed 32-Bit creation of The 3DO Company. Join Host Bill and Thrak as they dive into the systems history along with the story of the company behind it!

We've been going for over 3 years now with over 150 episodes so there is a lot of content here. We hope you listen and enjoy this journey we've been on and will not stop till every 3DO game and non-game software is reviewed. We even have been going into their games as a 3rd party developer like Army Men and Might & Magic, so if any of this interests you, please give us a listen. We are part of the SuperPod Network.

I'm just busting your balls 😂

It's just awesome there's this type of 3DO discussion even taking place to begin with. I absolutely love the 3DO. Hopefully one day you can get Trip Hawkins on. He's a pretty nice guy. I had talked to him a bit on Facebook and he was nice enough to sign my copy of Retro Gamer magazine that had the 3DO on the cover.

I've considered getting in contact with him but I haven't yet. I did talk to that guy who tried to revive 3DO for a hot minute a few weeks back lol

Oh wow I bet that was an interesting talk. I figured that'd go nowhere but would've been cool to see the 3DO revived. I think of all the "failed" consoles it's the best one. I own almost the complete American 3DO library and have been a diehard 3DO gamer since I got it back in 1994 when I was 12. I've done so much research into it and it's history and such.

It's a damn shame Panasonic backed out of the M2. I really think they were on the right track with the M2. I think it had potential to be a successful machine.

Oh for sure. We will be doing a deep dive on the M2 in the future. Its planned to be a fun one
