Prologue - 1995
The future didn't look bright for the 3DO. Or for its hardware and software.
Companies, like AT&T and Samsung, announced they would make their own 3DO models, they never did. Despite its capabilities, and numerous PC and arcade ports, like Myst, the only other major third-party company who supported it was EA
Crystal Dynamics' Gex, a multi-platform title, ended up being its best-seller with a million units sold overall. Multiple horrible FMV titles also plagued the system, leading many away.
Then things took a turn for the worst.
