3DO - The Need For Speed

Atari Jaguar - Tempest 2000

Dunno about the others, but 3DO can be emulated via 4DO, which works perfectly for most of the library at this point.

Check out Lucienne's Quest if you like jrpgs.

Amiga CD32 can run regular Amiga software. It's the only one of the four that I don't have but Amiga is emulated more or less perfectly. I'd still like to own one though.

3DO has the best version of Road Rash out there.

>>3225402
3DO:

Starfighter
Road Rash
Space Hulk
Twisted
The Horde
Crash n Burn
Gex
Street Fighter 2

Theres a lot of junk too but theres junk on a lot of systems

Interesting that Amiga 32 runs regular Amiga. What are some notable originals/ports on regular Amiga? I'm American and never had experience with 80s-early 90s computers.. had more experience with IBM PCs.

>>3225707
An Amiga CD32 is just an Amiga with some components missing and the ability to autoboot CDs. CD32 games can just be run directly on a real Amiga and vice versa if the CD32 gets a keyboard, mouse and floppy (and maybe an hdd). Hackers have custom made CDs with hundreds of Amiga floppy games that can be burnt and run in a CD32.

Looks like somebody just got here from youtube.

A console is a dedicated machine that plays games. Is it not?

>>3227592
They did in fact market the thing's ability to play games. Was it entirely for playing games? No, but it was indeed a platform that had a number of games. If it couldn't play games well, then they shouldn't have allowed games to be developed for it.

A lot of people used their PS2 as a DVD player and at the time that was a big selling point. It was a DVD player and a game console.

>A console is a dedicated machine that plays games. Is it not?
That's not what the CD-I was.

>>3228210
>They did in fact market the thing's ability to play games.
Closer, but it was designed as a video media machine with interactive features, similar to what you also see in interactive DVDs. The push to market it as a gaming machine wasa re-imaging attempt after it had already been released.
>A lot of people used their PS2 as a DVD player and at the time that was a big selling point. It was a DVD player and a game console.
This comparison only works if the PS2 hadn't been the successor to the PlayStation, which was a gaming console, and if the PS2 were marketed as a media player over a gaming machine. It wasn't.

Go back to youtube, both of you.

I think you forgot your penguin image, fag.

>>3228459
It says right here it isn't a game console but a multimedia system.

Did you know that "CD-i" actually referred to a FAMILY of machines? The early models could support games through the interactivity of the machine, but it wasn't pushed as one until later.
>there were other models?
Yeah, if you weren't such arrogant, stupid newfags, you'd know this. The CD-i wasn't marketed as a "console" until the 400 series of models. This information is readily available through even two seconds on Wikipedia, but watching youtube videos is much better suited for your mentalities than reading, I'm sure.

Also, take a look at the manual for one of the early models:
http://www.manualslib.com/manual/776658/Philips-Cdi-210.html

You can count mention of the word "games" on one hand, and even then, games aren't even at the beginning of the list of features (media playback is).

>>3225402
your all forgetting this masterpiece of CYBUR PANK

>The CD-i wasn't marketed as a "console" until the 400 series of models

So you're saying that at a point during the CD-i's life as a retro system it was indeed marketed as a game device. Congrats on contradicting your own argument that it isn't fair to discuss it as a gaming platform. Or whatever point you're trying to make. Go watch the infamous infomercial about it and they sure as fuck advertise gaming.

In the end, though, what is your point? That CD-i games shouldn't be discussed on here? Or is it a "PSX IS A VERSION OF THE PS2 NOT A PROPER PS1 NAME" level of showoff... thing?

>>3229391
This looks like Virtual Hydlide in the future, I dig it.

>>3229391
actually the PC version of this game wasn't that bad.

Duuurrr youtube is baddd!!

Obviously you're triggered. Sorry but CD-I had games on it yet it is considered a game console whether you like it or not. Go cry somewhere else you underage faggot.

Why do we get the biggest retards here during daytime hours?

See >>3228454:

They simply CALLED it a gaming machine after the fact. Imagine if Texas Instruments decided to sell their graphing calculators as handheld gaming devices. You can actually play games on them, but I doubt you'd seriously buy into that angle.

>getting this defensive about youtube

Spoken like a true youtube babby.

It had games therefore it counts. You have no argument but green text faggotry

>>3230219
>It had games therefore it counts.
Oh, I guess cable boxes and smart tvs are gaming consoles too then.
>You have no argument because I dismiss anything I can't argue against
Fix'd.

>>3231173
Still not an argument. Still no proof. Just give up dumbass

>>3232368
>Still no proof
Ah, I see that I should have made a video on youtube instead of expecting you to read anything.

>>3227592

when I bought my PS2 back in the day (right when it came out in the parking lot of a 7-11) I used it as a DVD player for months before I got any games.

Atari Jaguar - Iron Soldier, Alien vs Predator

>>3232368
Try to actually read this time:

http://www.videogameconsolelibrary.com/pg90-cdi.htm#page=reviews
>At its launch in 1991, the system was not even displayed in stores with the other video gaming systems of the time (Sega Genesis, Nintendo SNES, etc.). It was promoted within its own area, closer to the personal computer section.
>Early CD-i systems did not come with a standard gamepad, but were accompanied with a multifunctional IR remote
>With dwindling sales and the videogame market doing well, Philips decided to reintroduce the machine as videogame console. The Phillips CD-i 450 was designed to look more like a console and included a pack-in game called Burn Cycle.

http://www.philipscdi.com/history.htm
>The 16-bit CD-ROM based system was not promoted as a gaming platform. In advertising, Phillips highlighted the multimedia applications
>By 1994, with low sales, Philips decided to alter its approach to advertising the CD-i. It was finally marketed as videogame platform. The console was redesigned to more resemble a standard gaming system. The price was lowered to $299 and a pack-in game named Burn:Cycle was included.

3DO is the only one with enough decent games to buy.here is work on forcing 240p, has rgb mod available, has drive emulator available. You can get the mpeg/vcd expansion and watch movies on it.
Jaguar is neat because it's the last Atari, play one and the competition back to back and it's no surprise why.
CDi is a joke as a console, it might be a better cd player than an early ps though not sure.

PFDs were the shit. 3do was badass and still very playable today, the original 3 button controllers suck though.

>>3225431
The Need for Speed is better on PC, PSX or even Saturn, unless you wanna see annoying FMV guy.

>>3227592
CD-i has the decent verison of Micro Machines, it would be the best if it had sounds.

3DO and CDI have ports of Braindead 13. It's a decent game if you like games similar to Dragon's Lair.

What the fuck is this "youtube" and "video on youtube" bullshit that people keep posting

>>3233000
First of all, your argument makes no sense.
You're saying it wasn't a gaming console, and then it says right there they rebranded it and tried to sell it as a gaming console.

>>3233783
It's a modern way to consume information easily. There's many amateur shows about retro video games.

3DO has a lot of lightgun shooters. Don`t know if the gun can be emulated with a wiimote or something.

>>3233000
This is a really nice board despite tryhard faggots like this. I wish he had a trip so I could at least filter him. Idk who he thinks he is impressing by shitting up a reasonably pleasant thread, but I hope he sees and understands what a fucking faggot nigger he is and ceases to nitpick people's choice of words when referring to gaming consoles.

Seriously faggot. Go be a shitter somewhere else.

>>3233830
>this is a really nice board
>GET OUT FAGGOT NIGGER
Your mom must be really proud.

>>3233797
Yeah but why are people using it as an insult

>>3233071
>here is work on forcing 240p
What?

>>3234146
Oh I see, mod to output 240p, didn't know such a sing exist.

>>3233876
Because most retards can't use a brain and go to le ebin youtubeperson for their meaninfull opinion when they could just have found out themselfs if they wanted to.

>>3225402
The Jaguar version of Wolfenstein 3D is actually really good, but the controls need some efficient mapping or it feels really weird.

>>3232910
>Alien vs Predator
That was mediocre at best. But if you are going to buy a Jaguar it's a stand out by being playable.

>>3233830
>thinking that insulting someone will make them stop
All you've done is make him come back with more and more proof to embarrass you. It's almost as if ignoring him wouldn't have triggered him into coming back.

>>3234184
Well no shit, just look at the world of politics.. its not going away any time soon unfortunately..
