I think I've heard of the 3DO.. once. I forgot it ever existed until the angry video game nerd released a review yesterday of "plumbers don't wear ties," along with a small history about the console.
if you don't care for avgn, you'll be glad to hear that he doesn't put on much of a performance in this review. the game is so horrendous that it just speaks for itself. it's easily one of his funnier videos.

after some research (wikipedia), I wasn't able to find much information on the history behind this. it was actually sold for $35 on a console that cost $700. why was it made? why was it published? is it the ultimate troll on gamers?
