Nope. They filed for chapter 11 in 2003. The PS2 killed 'em.

It was a great shame about 3DO. They made the best baseball game out there.

They also made the Army Men series that my son enjoyed so much.

Battle Tanx was also cool, when it came out...

to tell you the truth, I think that lately the counsle games kinda suck.., I mean.., we have Halo 2, GTA SA.., and uh.., thats basically it..
I miss the SNES days when we had RPG after RPG to beat.., and the PSX RPG's were good too.., but then game the PS2, and no one cares about anything but graphics..

I mean look at the hours it takes to beat FFVII.., compared to the hours it takes to beat FFX, and which took more time/money to make?, FFX of course..,
I had the same amount of fun per hours with each of them.., maybe a little more the FFX, just cause of the graphics.., but in the end.., FFVII took about 4 times longer to beat..

Well this is a Computer forum so I would think it was limited to computer games, yes

well, counsles are computers.., just computers designed specifically for gaming

I have a question about what we are aloud to talk about..
I mean, technically most modding is illegal isn't it? because you replace and distribute copy-righted files that are modded. but there use is completely moral and most game developers like modders because they basically update and release stuff for them, and because they need the original game, they still make money
ie. Valve loves the modder community, Half Life would have never of gotten as far as it did without counter-strike and the other mods.


we also seem to condone the use of programs such as StyleXP that are illegal because they patch windows XP's system files (uxtheme.dll) so that you can apply new visual styles..


thanx in advanced,
Byan

Well some game makers actually encourage it by giving out programs to make ur own such as Max Payne 2, and did Cs emerge from peoples modding of Half Life and then they released it?

[Byan]

I know that CS was released and I don't know the story behind that, but I do know that CS was originally a mod..
