3DO Console...

Was the 3DO a true 32bit system? Or a 16bit on steroids?

Any links with its tech specs?

Was it capable of producing polygons, in real time like PS, Saturn, N64?

Where there any 2D Shooters released for the 3DO like Raiden, R-Type, Thunder Force etc...?

Gex looked like an interesting game.

Doom was ported to the 3DO, but don't know how good it was?

I think the best home console conversion was the one on Atari Jaguar...

What other cool games did it have?

It also had Bust a Move.

The original Panasonic 3DO console, with the motorized CD tray, looked so cool.

The later incarnations sucked.

You havene't played it? It's a great game. Gex was 3DO's mascot

This should help...

Yes GEX is a lot of fun.

It's similar to a lot of platform type games, but it also has some unique points.

The voice overs add a lot to the game.
