Topic: Panasonic or Goldstar?

[segagamer12]

I am considering hunting down an old 3do system, for various reasons. What I amc urious is which model is better? I won't even consider the Sanyo model so its between the Goldstar and Panasonic models. I used to have some controllers and other random stuff ofr 3Do a long time ago but I sold it all.


Does any one have any info on either of these systems? Besdies the wikipedia crap cuz that dont help at all.

Is one of those various reasons Star Control 2?  

[segagamer12]

Not sure what that is. I mostly want one cuz I am a video game collector and want to play the Super Street Fighter II, among other  games, that made thier way to the system. But also for the new website I am working on.

If you want to play Super Street Fighter 2 (Turbo, better yet), then try MAME or Final Burn...

Well theres more to it than that, like I said I need it for my website. Plus I dont beleive in ROMS they are illegal and immoral from my point of view.

just get the Panasonic one. I mean, Goldstar? seriously?

[ReverendNoahWhateley]

If you're patient, Star Control 2 is one of the best video games ever made (it's my favorite, by far).  It's a cult classic that never gets old; I've played through it at least six or seven times, and I still get a huge kick out of it.

Ok well i will consdier that, which model do you have? Can you tell me any thing about it?

I used the Panasonic version in 1997

Friend won it and a 900 dollar mountain bike, even thu it wasnt released in Australia

I dont know about the goldstar version, but it sounds dodgy just by the brand name
also remember 3DO can use Genesis/megadrive controls, just not as the linking control

That was one aspect I wasnt sure on thanks for calrifying. I knew that they used the same plugs but my 3do controllers didnt work on my genesis so I didnt knwo if they would go the other way aorund.
