No that wasn't Trip in the video. I was so into the 3DO that I got hooked
up
with the companies sale rep for the whole Seattle WA. area and got to go
around with her to EB and Baggage's in the Malls around here and show off
how well I could play Shockwave and some of the other titles (I really
wasn't that great, but since I was one of the only guys to actually own a
3DO I was the best she could come up with) It was fun while it lasted
which
wasn't long. The rep moved from Redwood Cal. to cover this area, and less
then 4 months later was canned in what was the first wave of massive
layoffs
before the console died. People forget that for a short period of time the
3DO was the only next gen console. The games looked a lot better then what
the Genny could put out, I mean WOW it was 3D gaming man! I still have my
sales receipts for the console and a lot of the games. What gets me is
that
some of the games for it were going for $69.99! When I read how upset some
guys are getting about how much the new 360 games are going to cost, I
just
laugh because really gaming prices have come down a lot since back in the
day. JLC
