I remember playing Alone in the Dark on the 3DO, I picked up one when they were dropped to $100 and then EB was offering your choice of 10 games if you bought the console. They had similar deals for PlayStation and Sega Saturn (you could pick 2 games for the PSOne or 5 when picking a Saturn). Fun times. By this point, the 3DO had quite an eclectic library of games to pick from (I got Alone in the Dark 1 and 2 then Iron Angel of the Apocalypse 1 and 2, Brain Dead 13, an FMV collection with Dragon's Lair and a few others, etc).

I had seen Alone in the Dark in some computer magazines I bought, even though I didn't have a computer newer than a Color Computer II at the time. I marveled at the pics. Then I got to play it on the 3DO and for about 20 minutes I was amazed, then the frame rate problems hit when I encountered the first zombie/creature.

I still love this game but now play it on PC instead. Still slow and plodding but doesn't seem as bad as the 3DO version to me.

These types of games, that sense of wonder, seeing something for the first time, all wonderful memories.

Have you played D yet?

I want to play Dr Hauzer, I have a translated version here somewhere but I keep forgetting to actually play it. Is it any good?
