About 3DO Interactive Multiplayer Console
The 3DO Console was conceived in the early 1990s by Trip Hawkins, the founder of Electronic Arts. He envisioned creating an advanced multimedia home console that multiple partners could manufacture. Dave Needle and RJ Mical designed the 3DO to have powerful hardware including a 32-bit processor, advanced 3D graphics, and CD-ROM technology. This would allow it to play games and multimedia content in full-motion video.
The innovative idea was for manufacturers like Panasonic, Samsung, and Goldstar to produce consoles that met the 3DO specifications, competing alongside each other. This would give consumers more choices at differing price points. Unfortunately, the licensing model meant each company had to profit on the hardware alone, as there were no software royalties. As a result, the initial Panasonic model had a steep $700 price tag. Consumers balked at such an expensive proposition when the PlayStation and Saturn arrived offering more abilities at lower costs.
Despite an impressive library of games from EA and others, including classics like Road Rash and Need for Speed, the high prices and lack of a consistent software lineup hurt adoption. Later models from Goldstar cut the cost, but it was too little too late. By 1996, most publishers had pulled support with only Panasonic still committed. The failed follow-up console, M2, spelled the end for hardware, though some Asian markets continued use into 1998.
While an innovative concept, the 3DO’s failure shows how critical timing, affordability, and having one company fully behind the platform are for success. Though short-lived, it demonstrated CD-ROM’s capabilities and helped advanced gaming’s transition to optical media.
Although not as successful as expected, 3DO Interactive Multiplayer’s game library also offers many high-quality titles worth enjoying. You can find them all here and download them completely for free.
