"The 3DO Update II" [VHS / 1993] Video Dump Project | Come visit my Blog too please!

Heya ASSEMbler Games, its that time again when I release VHS video rips on YouTube. This time I bought a marketing VHS was sent out to licensees to cover the Summer 1993 CES press coverage, the Trip Hawkins presentation, and a promo video, to persuade them of the potential the console (might have) had. I've had this for months now and it was only a week ago or so that I finally decided to upload the footage online and share it all to the internet. Along with a complimentary hand-signed letter, the VHS tape features four segments that can be found separately as videos in the link to my blog post below, where I briefly go over the background of the letter, the VHS contents and the reasons why Trip Hawkins thought the 3DO is going to be the biggest 1990s product in stores since the VCR. If you're interested, please give it a look.

I also like to take this opportunity to advertise my gaming blog I call The Game Informant, a gaming blog where I post about gaming niches, trivia, fun memes, and other bits of interest, among other off-topic subjects. I have more blog posts were that came from (recently I've posted about Japanese magazines that I've been scanning lately) and I hope more people come to visit my blog and follow.

 

Very nice ,thanks so much for sharing!

 

Great post. I enjoyed the press conference video the most of Trip talking about the 3D0 features and his ideas for broadband. The checking NFL scores while playing a sports game wouldn't be realized for another twenty years in the xbox one.

When this system was coming out the whole industry was switching to CD Rom and FMV type games. So its natural 3D0 went for this market. Its versions of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace were the first really nice home versions of those games (the sega cd being way too digitized). I think it was the price of the unit that was just to crazy for its time.
