Considering the price that boxed copies of 3DO games are starting to command, it's definitely worth the investment. I'm glad they tested the protectors on multiple 3DO box types. I purchased some old versions from another side and they only fit the basic cardboard box style, and not the snapper style boxes.

Gotta love when Youtubers make videos, and mention, "I have this, and this... but I don't have THIS yet. BUT GEE. I SURE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT IN MY COLLECTION. WINK WINK. NUDGE NUDGE. BOY THAT SURE WOULD BE GREAT. FILL THAT HOLE OF AFFECTION AND HUMAN INTERACTION IN YOUR LIFE BY BUYING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM ME AND A SHOUT OUT FOR YOUR CHANNEL BY SENDING ME A $300 GAME."

When I picked up a 3DO system at a thrift store, I managed to get Panasonic customer service to send me a demo disc for free, as I had no software for it. One of the games on that demo was Bladeforce. I LOVED the demo version of it, and I swear it played much smoother and at a higher framerate than the finished product. I bought the game based on the strength of that demo and was pretty disappointed to play the full game. Still, it is a unique and underrated title in the library.

In the realm of Japanese exclusives, I enjoyed "Insectorwars". It's a first-person shooter with cutesy insectoid enemies where you roam mazes. I haven't played it in probably fifteen years, but I remember it being very "Faceball 2000-ish". I also really enjoyed Quarantine. It's not truly exclusive, as it received PlayStation and Saturn releases under different names in Japan, but it's a console-exclusive to the 3DO in North America. The soundtrack had a ton of cool grunge and rock acts from Australia, a lot of humor, and the concept was basically Crazy Taxi in a Post-Apocalyptic world.

This isn't the 3DO I was looking for.
