The 3DO was the first console I bought with my own money. It was quite difficult to get one of these here in Brazil, I saved 1000 dollars in a year to pay for a smuggler to get one of these for me. He would go abroad almost every month and for almost 2 years he'd bring me new games. Unfortunately in one of these trips he got shot on a armed robbery and died in 1997. Sad that to this day we have to rely on smugglers to bring new consoles to the country (an illegal PS4 costs only 300 dollars while an official sony ps4 with taxes costs almost 1000 dollars). Nice video btw.

You know what I love? Is that he is so excited and happy and i love seeing his enthusiasm in this project and video. So big thanks to ASHER For making his day and probably his whole first of the year experience. Especially since its something he has never heard of xD Love this,.

I remember the first time i saw this console in a video rental store that also had games and game systems. They had all the consoles hooked up and you could play them with demo games and the 3DO video quality had me in awe by how awesome it looked. I am sure it doesn't compete with the new game systems but back then it was awesome.

3DO often gets thrown in with the Philips CD-i as one of the crappy multimedia consoles of the early 90s. However 3DO was actually a cool design created by the same people who came up with the Amiga. The founder of Electronic Arts, Trip Hawkings then formed the 3DO company to sell it. Unfortunately all the companies that they sold the license to, ended up having to sell the machine at way too high a price. Trip really believed in the machine and even left EA to try to make 3DO succeed (EA quickly turned into a monster without his lead). Personally I think 3DO is a fun machine especially if you are into cheesy Full Motion Video games.

Hi Vince ,this must be rare as I’ve never seen one.very nice gift from Asher and very decent of him.great to watch too

Another wildly enjoyable video, thanks Vince!!

Full playthrough of the Supermodels game on an unlisted video?

As I remember during this time, Most of us kids had PCs with Win95. The 3DO was very expensive and couldn't match the functionality of the PC. Also, I believe that the game boxes were huge as to deter theft in the stores.

Keeps pumping them out, I enjoy them, Thanks

I was one of those in the uk that bought a Panasonic 3DO FZ10 in 1994 and i loved it and still have it to this day. Then the PS1 was released in 1995 and the 3DO was killed off.

I love my GDO! It will always remain a rare "niche" kind of product just as it was on release.

This was really a good video I have never seen one of these and what a easy fix I am sure the guy just overlooked it well enjoy you deserve it

What a score. A nice easy win, and I totally enjoyed your clip.

Vince is like a kid let loose in a toy shop :)

Cannon fodder is a brilliant game. Also worth trying to get for it is Road Rash.

Love the reaction when you find that a single ribbon cable had to fix it all. Greetings from Australia btw.

A friend of mine leant me one of this in the mid nineties when I was at Uni, I had it for about a year. It was an awesome console with some really interesting games. It was when CDROM games were just taking off so a lot of them made use of CD technology. The games i remember most were Wing Commander 3, Need For Speed (the original one!) and Return Fire. Definitely check those out!

Am I the only one staring at the progress bar hoping the system DOESN'T work so we can continue to listen to that matter-of-fact voice lead us through a fix? Please don't let it read the disk.......yet.

Haha, yes - I am like that too - I like a good long repair!!! I love it when there are twists and turns and new discoveries are made within the video. His GameCube video was like that the other day.

awesome game collection. I remember the horde being one of the games i always wanted back in the 90s and how happy i was to play it on an emulator some years ago.

As someone who was a gamer when (and before) the 3DO came out, it was a combination of price and not many compelling games. Road Rash was probably the only one I can think of that I was interested in.

That is an easy fix - working very well - not missing out on anything with the model's is right

Awesome working nice addition to add to collection 😃

Lost Eden was a nice game as well, give it a shot. I enjoyed that game very much as a kid and has a beautiful Moby like soundtrack. Your vid brought back memories, keep it up mate! :)

Dragons Lair is one of my favourite arcade games. The font used for the number of lives in this version, looks a lot like one of the fonts included in Deluxe Paint for the Amiga.

I had a 3DO when I was little. The games came in those huge boxes in the beginning but they switched to the smaller jewel cases later on. I don't recognize many of the games you have but there are some good games on the system. The only game you have that I had was Gex which I remember as being one of the better games. I think it was the most powerful console at the time but the price was really really high, like $650 US dollars. I was only able to watch the first bit of the video so far, I really hope you're able to fix it!

My husband and i had a 3D0 not sure if we still have it or not though, will have to ask him. Loved playing road rash on it 🙂

I bought a Philips CDI player back in the 90's, cost me 500 quid, and then had to buy the motion video cartridge for an extra 250 quid, thought it was the bees knees at the time...not all retro gaming is viewed with rose tinted spectacles lol!

Great video! Thanks! I love 3DO consoles)

When i was younger i wanted one of these thay looked really good kept going into Dixon's were i live every weekend and watched fighting game but the name escapes me but thay were meger expensive but then i did get a play station one when thay come out nice bit of a blast from the past

Awesome video as always

The laser in that 3D0 might actually be a Helium Neon Laser Tube and therefore has high voltages present inside, a Helium Neon Laser should not destroy any discs, Your LCD TV is actually a Multi-Standard LCD-TV, I do think that you are curious about how the system works but if you take the metal screen off and have a look around. I really thought that this 3DO had a Helium Neon Laser.

Ah, back from an era of easy repairs and clean simple layouts. It looks rock solid, it's not like the power supply is working to hard.

Literally incredible.

This is insane! what a lucky repair.

I like all of your video because you try to fix random things and thats what i like about your video. Like your channel Vince. Keep it up. 👍🏼. Done like and subscribe. 😁

The ribbon cable wtf XD Easiest fix in life :D

Nice. I have an NTSC 3DO (FZ-1) too. I just stuck a power unit from a PAL 3DO inside it to make things easier.

It could be a broken solder joint, with bumping around in travel it makes temporarily contact

I had one of these Panasonic 3DO consoles (the bigger first version). My older cousin just gave it to me one day out of the blue, I guess he got tired of it. I do remember the games that I got with the system were graphically way ahead of anything else out for the home console market at that time. Games were definitely a problem, there weren't that many and even less good ones.

I have a feeling that one of your fans just sent you a gift wrapped up inside a 'fix video' .. zero chance that ribbon just popped out by itself :)

Hope to see some raspberry Pi videos coming in the near future, wonder what your mind can cook up with one of those.

Most Americans didn't know these existed when they came out. And those of us who knew they existed and bought one, wished we hadn't. 😂

Out of this world was my favorite game on the 3do, I loved it so much that I now have it on my Nintendo switch, limited run games made it for the switch under the title "Another World" I think you'll enjoy it 😊

I thought the license model of the 3DO turned out pretty good since most titles are at least professional looking unlike the CD-i or Amiga CD32 which got some very amateur quality software a lot of the time. I mean yeah 3DO did get Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. ^_^ Dang what a package, great way to start. :D Trip Hawkins had this crazy idea that a game console could be like a video player or microwave, unchanging with little to no hardware generations. The multi manufacturing setup did lower the 3DO cost eventually but the ever advancing console scene released the Saturn/PS1/N64 showing the obvious matter that you can't just sit still in that market. :\

I had Dragons Lair on the Spectrum. Wow it was awful! Hard as buggery too!!

New TronixFix Challenge? Nice I'm on!

RIP Panasonic 3DO, PlayStation was better 😬 great vid vince!! 🔥

Great video vince but i do agree with the guy that says that this console was working just fine and the ribbon cable was poped out intentionally just to make it interesting to you as "not working". Not that is something wrong with it, i still enjoyed the video

Never heard of 3DO?........what! How? Was an amazing system for the time wish I had one now.

The 3do was far too expensive when it came out and only had a few games on release and the games library was very small add to that the ps1 come out with cheaper with alot of games on release then that was the final nail in the coffin.

You're going to love the Raspberry Pi, especially so if he has loaded retropie onto it. If not you should do it ASAP :D

Fantastic pickup!!! There are some great games for the system - things like Space Hulk, Cannon Fodder, Wing Commander, Street Fighter 2 etc. No protection on these I think - pretty sure you can just burn a CD with the ISO. It might be worth removing the PSU board to check for dry solder joints (maybe on the under of the mains lead socket?). If you decide to sell any of the games please let me know! Do you keep all the things you collect - I've always wondered where you store all this stuff lol.

The emuparadise thing is a pain, but there are quite a few other sites hosting ISOs still. I suspect over time they are going to get gradually shut down =/

Just a little tip but I refurbish and repair old consoles and if you want a nice finish just spray a little WD4O onto a soft cloth and wipe the console with it and it gives the black or darker consoles a nice finish.

I've heard of them, my mate had one. They had they to play test in my local Future Zone back in the day.

The old 3DO was my favourite in the day and i would buy the edge games magazine and the 3DO magazines also which would come with a demo cd and there was articles i read about a chip that was going to be 64 bit and plugged into the expansion slot on the 3DO that chip was going to make the system way way ahead of anything else out there but it never made it to reality and then everyone wanted a playstation but the 3DO is a more powerful system and didnt need memory cards either and if i remember correctly when you put in a music cd there was a screen that created mesmerising colour effects and you could change them with the controller.

He sent you this for free!!! In my country (NZ) these go for $500 minimum, even broken ones go for around 250-300. the games are like $40 each!!!! I own a Panasonic 3DO and about 12 games. it cost me a fortune a few years ago. The Phillips one is even more expensive here. The ahem, "game" plumbers don't wear ties (a global meme by now) goes for like $60 haha

One of the best consoles back then, i had a front loader with Road Rash and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo

Funny thing is a Hitachi CX w700 boombox I got from eBay with a faulty cd player, was only faulty because the connector was partly out on one side. Annoyingly only realized after I had tested found it not to spin disc and bought a new laser.

That’s one well built machine.

Furniture polish. Or a wee touch of WD-40. Makes the plastic cases look nice :)

Hey Vince you should do a video when you put parts from random consoles to make an ULTIMATE console and name it like some xbox one and ps4 parts maybe some nintendo switch parts as well and use the kronis maxs for the controller I doubt youll see this but if you do its worth a shot keep up the good work.

Sounding a bit rough Vince. I'm in the same boat. Well done for doing the video regardless. Get well soon.

great video to watch

Great vid again. Pleeeease give us a ps3 fat 60gb teardown 👍👍👍

3DO failed for two main reasons: The initial $699 price tag, and the lack of a must-have game. Much like the CDI, the 3DO had a large library of weird games that primarily looked like bad ports of PC games, or full motion video Sega CD ports. The closest they ever came was Gex, which was later released for Playstation

wow that dude must really like your channel because those things are not cheap nither are the games.

I had one, truly an epic system

Trip Halkens was the CEO of 3do he left Electronic Arts to start the 3do company

On the US plugs there can be a bigger prong, if that is the case than polarity matters.

great console to have,congrats

3DO was definitely sold in the UK I remember playing with one in an Electronic Boutique store years ago was about the same time frame as the Amiga console as well. I remember honestly wondering if they managed to sell any of them. Just really thinking UK power would have probably worked fine but might be wrong as I'm typing this a few min in.

Dear Vince! Is there any advice you might have for raising the optical drive array a little bit? I'm experiencing some scraping of certain CDs from the bottom on the drive bay.

Out of this world is fantastic.

Very true your comment about how the PS 1 succeeded and this failed and how different it could’ve been. The 90’s were a make or break decade in the console wars that saw many casualties, even some big names like Sega and Atari. I wonder if the future is just destined to be dominated by Sony and Microsoft?

You need to check out Return Fire, Road Rash, Need for Speed, Crash 'n Burn, Way of the Warrior, Off-World Interceptor and PO'ed. The first 4 for sure. All but CnB and WotW were on PS1, but weren't nearly as good as on 3DO.

Some us plugs are polarized(only goes in one way for 2 prongs) neutral pin is bigger than the hot pin, usb power supplys can plug in any direction! 3 prongs goes in one way

Hi Vince, I was going to suggest you get a Raspberry Pi as it's something that I think you will really get into. There is a million things you can do with them. They are a great tool for learning computing, electronics and coding, which is something your viewers would be interested in. I'm not really into the coding side of things but love all the other aspects of them. The first thing you are going to want to do is install Retro Pi on it and play all the retro games. retropie.org.uk/ I haven't done so myself but it will get you started on learning how to write an OS to a SD card and get it going on your Pi. There is a huge amount of info about them on KZread and the net. Have fun and keep smiling. 😁

Hey Vince, this is a totally unrelated question but I figured you'd be best person to ask this. Basically my tv is broken and I have a ps4 and a laptop. My laptop does not have hdmi input, its just hdmi output so I'd wanna know if there is an adaptor to make the laptop accept video input from a gaming console via the HDMI port.

Man I really do miss that system I use to play mad dog 2 and Gex on it

Good video!!

60hz in America and 59hz elsewhere. If I recall the difference between pal and the other standard is one refreshes in the north / south configuration and the other does it in the east / west configuration.

I'm still pretty sure Gold Star make the cheap brown sauce they use in chippys and greasy spoons 😂😂

It’s not a bad game consoles really Iv got 3 of them great video as usual

I didn't have a 3do but I did have a phillips CDi, with the Dragons lair and 7th guests games. I think CDi was also made buy other companies other than Philips just like the 3do. it was basically a fancy cd player. And that is a raspberry pi you got there, model 3 I think, I have a couple cause they're dirt cheap.
