As someone who has owned several 3DO and actually played the games in this list, I can break this down. Contrary to popular belief, the 3DO does have exclusives actually worth playing. But this list is also full of garbage.

>Doctor Hauzer
This is an Alone in the Dark clone. It's average at best but it's exclusive and it's survival horror for the system.
>Guardian War (Powers Kingdom)
This is a very average RPG. It's unique, though, and it's worth checking out. It's one of the weirder experiences you can only get on the 3DO.
>Escape from Monster Manor
This is hit or miss. It's a very strange, poorly built DOOM clone but it's not unplayable. It's an exclusive for the console, and I wouldn't call it a must have but it's probably also worth looking at.
>Mind Teazzer
This is fucking /garbage/. Exclusive or not, it's literally a pornography puzzle game. I wish I hadn't ever paid money for this.
>Seal of the Pharaoh
Very average exploration game with an RPG element. It's weird, but it's also boring and average. But again, it's actually a playable exclusive.
>Autobahn Tokio
Very poor racing game. Japanese release. I never played this but I remember wanting it.
>Snow Job
This games fucking weird. One of the best examples of FMV though. It's a point and click adventure game. Definitely worth picking up.
>Real Pinball
Garbage. Pinball is on every system and this one's trash.
>Zhadnost: The People's Party
Pretty crazy party game. One of the few good multiplayer games on the system, and it's exclusive.
>Ultraman Powered
Never heard of it. Can't find much info on it. Seems like it's good though.

>>4893764
>N.O.B.: Neo Organic Bioform
Japanese only - I had a burned copy of this as a kid from my uncle. This games fucking crazy and uses claymation for your characters mutations. A must play/must own.
>Cowboy Casino
Fucking garbage poker game. Exclusive or not, it's shit.
>Foes of Ali
Pretty graphically advanced - this was the shit in the 90s. It was the quintessential boxing game. It's boring and slow looking now but I had fun playing it.
>The Life Stage
Weird as fuck, but neat. This was a launch title and I had it because there were like no other launch titles worth playing. You build a virtual house and can explore it in full 3D.
>Phoenix 3
Not sure on this one.
>Scramble Cobra
Not sure on this one either. I think it was about an attack helicopter. Never played it.
>Way of the Warrior
Pure trash. Worst fighting game ever.
>Shadow: War of Succession
Pure trash. I take the last one back. This is the WORST fucking fighting game ever.
>Immercenary
Pretty amazing. A rare gem. Games like this weren't really made in the 3DO's time and they weren't made after. It's bizarre and you'd have to play it to understand why it's so immersive and fun.
>PaTaank
Weird and kind of mediocre. Instead of the pinball machine you're a pinball IN the machine. It's worth checking out despite that one anon saying >PaTaank >Good as if he fucking knows shit.
>Iron Angel of the Apocalypse
Very unique FPS with a lot of high quality FMV cutscenes.
>Gridders
Very good puzzle game. Not sure though, never owned it.
>SF2 Turbo
Best version of SF2 bar none. Get this game.
>Phantasmagoria
Not on 3DO. Who put this on the list?
>Killing Time
Very unique and strange FPS. This should have revolutionized FPS like Doom and Quake but it ended up forgotten because it was on the 3DO.
>Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Slayer
Pretty good RPG action game.
>Lucienne's Quest
The only JRPG on the system. Never played it but it also launched in Japan on Sega Saturn so not a true exclusive.
>Alone
Not exclusive.

Jesus, these are all so painfully mediocre.
I can't decide which console's library is worse:
The 3DO with 200 uniformly bland three-star-at-best games or the Jaguar with 50 slipshod two-star-at-best games plus 5 four-star games which might be worth spending some of your limited lifespan playing.

Keep in mind every 3DO game only costs as much as a CD-R while the Jaguar Everdrive is expensive.
