Agreed. But the 3DO developers are allegedly *not* pushing 3DO as just a game console. Tompane of 3DO says 'It won't be just games. It will be audio CDs, photo CDs, video CDs, education titles, reference works, entertainments, games, simulations.' Some envision the 2nd generation 3DO boxes doing even more--with a keyboard attachment, MIDI interface for synth editing, videotext services through the cable line. Many people may buy a 3DO to do more than just play games. If it doesn't go belly-up within 12 months, that is. -Russell Webb rw...@nyx.cs.du.edu
Just for us bumpkins: What *is* 3DO, exactly?
