Impressions: 3DO Edition (plus some Saturn and Neo-Geo)
I got a handful of new games with my new 3DO testing station. After taking them for a quick spin, I have a few thoughts to share on each. Here goes:
Alone in the Dark: I played and beat this game for the PC back in the day. Good stuff all around. I’m kinda looking forward to […]

Plus, it’s just plain fun to finally see “what almost was” back in the day.
