Title: What type of 3DO should I get?
Post by: Shadow Wraith on July 12, 2012, 06:37:07 PM
I have heard that the Japanese versions can play any game, but that the US versions can't play all games? Any advice?

Not sure on the region free of the us version.  As for players I recommend the FZ-10.  I've had mine since the 90's without a problem.

The 3DO is one of few CD-based units that feature neither regional lockout nor copy protection, making it easy to use for pirated software.[9] Although there is no regional lockout present in any 3DO machine, a few Japanese games cannot be played on non-Japanese 3DO consoles due to a special kanji font which English language consoles could not read. Games that did not and still had compatibility issues include Sword and Sorcery (which was released in English under the title Lucienne's Quest), the adult video game Twinkle Knights and a demo version of Alone in the Dark.

FZ-10 if using the US version.

What about the Japanese version? FZ-1 or FZ-10?
