If not El Touchy, then how about the butter stick?!
A friend of mine is part of the team porting Night Trap for modern consoles!
I realize this is three years old but I adore Night Trap on my switch.
Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, best jump cut material ever. ^_^
I just discovered this channel today and I can't stop watching. You cover a lot of great stuff with a unique human approach
The M2 was also used as a base for some arcade games by Konami as well.
plumbers don't wear ties is like something straight out of Tim and Eric's universe...
+Kandi The plumber never went to the Mayor.
new from cinco
"Great job"
I don't know who made our 3DO, but from the look of the Panasonic Real one, I think it was Panasonic. Mine didn't top load. Daddy got us one for Christmas. I had no idea it cost $700. If I had known that, I would've respected his wishes and not gone snooping around for my presents. :'c We had Myst and Station Invasion. Myst was more for him, Station Invasion was for us. And you can unplug my controller Benny Boy, I don't mind!
Haha I didn't hear any audio glitches in that thing Benny Boy, but I'm not as experienced as you. That just thrills me that you're so good at this A/V stuff that you have an ear for it. Such a sweetheart.
I don't get Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, the girl was all sexy but the guy kept his clothes on? Is that the best adult games can do for objectifying dudes? I don't really play video games anyway. And LOL at Vivid Entertainment and their high budget intro, you're a porn producer, where's the saxophone?
I agree with Lieberman, Daddy had Night Trap for Sega Genesis. He let me watch when I was little and I really don't think he should have. Game was fucked up and I never forgot it. Mad Dog McCree was totally what I needed after that. LOL shooting the undertaker. :P Cheap fuckers.
Congrats on getting through another video game episode! It was only loosely a video game console though. c:
Actually. the M2 was also an arcade machine for Games like Battletryst a fighting game. 3DOs came in 3 brands: Panasonic, Goldstar (LG/Hitachi) and Sanyo.
The M2 hardware was actually used in Konami's light gun arcade game, Evil Night. Don't know if any other company utilized said hardware.
+TimelordR The M2 was also used in another Konami arcade game, Battle Tryst.
I too owned a 3DO system, and from my experience with it to this day I still find it strange that the best games on it came from Electronic Arts (maybe it was because Trip Hawkins was one of EA's founders.) I would have loved to see what the M2 could have done, but it wasn't until playing Total Vice (a Konami pseudo sequel to Lethat Enforcers) at my local (now defunct) Dave and Busters that I got to see the M2 in action, and considering the long load times it had, I was disappointed.
But yes, the 3DO did have its share of good games: Wing Commander 3, Road Rash, FIFA Soccer (the first of the series to be in 3D, and came out to rave reviews, even winning Best Sports Game by several well known publications,) Shockwave 1/Operation: Jumpgate/2, Immercenary, The Horde, Samurai Shodown, and Super SF2. It was even where Crystal Dynamics got their start in the industry.
had a good port of the game flashback, fmv cutscenes and sector map.
I always heard that 3DO came from the following logic:
You have Audio, you have Video, now you have 3DO.
But I could be wrong.
+JJ Davis That was in their marketing material, so you're correct.
The idea of photocd is to have your own photos on a cd, not to buy them. You would bring in your film to develop (no digital camera's back then) and instead of (or additional to) getting prints on paper, you would get a photocd
I couldn't get my hands on a working one either. Bought a broken one cheap, replaced all the capacitors, put new thermal compound on the voltage regulators, replaced the drive belt, replaced the fuse, AND adjusted the laser voltage to spec, all so I could finally play Gex after seeing it in gaming magazines in the 90's.
Just found your channel a few days ago. I've loved watching. The 900 number episode was fantastic.
Great video, subbed. Love old classic stuff like the items you cover in your videos. =)
Not 3DO but Night Trap related, sometime around the late 2000's to the mid-2010's, I spent an entire summer playing Night Trap on a Sega CD emulator, spending hours upon hours playing that game until I had done one play through where I had trapped all of the augers ,all of the vampires and saved all of the girls. After finally getting that one perfect play through, the ending I got was the good ending that I had gotten half a dozen other play thrus where I had managed to trap most of the villains but still one had escaped. One had supposedly escaped during my perfect play thru too even though my capture meter read out I had trapped every single one. Either the Sega CD version never had the perfect ending or there was a glitch with my emulator, lol.
As for Mad Dog McCree, I admit I never played the 3DO version, but if you want visually unappealing, you should see the Sega CD version. I also had the DVD Video version which looked quite impressive (no surprise as it was going from LaserDisc to DVD) but the controls were terrible. It was more fun to just watch the game rather than play it.
I'm amused that two AV Nerds have now mentioned the daisy-chaining of the controllers on the 3DO, except the "AV" stands for something different for each nerd.
I’d love to see Ben’s take on the RDI Halcyon.
I was 16 when 3DO came out. I remember it well. No one bought one in my town, price was way too high. AVGN does a whole episode on plumbers don't wear ties.
They did actually offer a Karaoke add on with a mic.
Great video, very fluid and informative. ill be checking out your other stuff.
3DO review on Oddity Archive....
So what do you think will be the first game to look at -- Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
*watches*
I CALLED IT
Dude, if you think El Touchy is expensive, try looking for official vinyl pressings of aenima by tool
Yes, partially because of the exceptional sound quality I thought my copy was real, but no apparently the bootlegs are very widespread of this album
Hahahaha, I liked trying to shoot that guy at the end. I used to do that when I'd get frustrated with the annoying dog in Duck Hunt.
I used to have nightmares about plumbers don't wear ties....
Needs more of the Sailor Moon 3DO game
Otaking Mikohani needs more Yu yu Hakusho 3do game
Plumber on a bike!!!! Awesome!
Hell ya Night Trap.
I never heard of 3DO around the time of it's lifespan until I looked at Naughty Dog's past titles before they released Crash Bandicoot on their website in 1999 (or 2000), which is Way of the Warrior (one of their past titles Naughty Dog developed for the 3DO).
I was only a year old when 3DO was originally released.
Thank you for another great episode!
I loved how it was a games console that didn't really have games!
+GetBant It was a game console with crappy ports of a few games.

14:13 Here comes the AVGN fans.
25:15 - the Black Lodge is looking a bit tackier than usual here...
Night Trap! YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Worryingly, the last American Laser Games hardware made by the original company was 3DO based, with some slightly stronger disc spindle motors. I still think all the searching for video files burned them out too quickly though.
17:33
She's got those "fuck me" eyes goin on
You are a very special boy.
I paid the 700 bucks for it. I almost bought the Amiga 32 as well. I remember playing "Plumbers" I also had the code to make the Blonde totally naked. LOL Night Trap was cool. I remember when it got banned. i ended up selling it back for 300 bucks to a used game company. They released a watered down version that really sucked. Sewer Shark was also cool. The guy who played the boss was in the movie "Die Hard 2" as the airport police chief. lol
remember playing mad dog mcready arcade at the local skating rink like in 1995 man thats going back.
Guys in suits sure seemed to like it.
If you bring that 3DO in here, I'll decompress the entire upper deck; you won't have a chance to try to use it to assimilate us.
Drip Fawkins.
Does anyone remember a documentary a quite a few years back about the senate hearings on video game violence, as well as other topics revolving around the establishment of the ESRB rathing system? They used to play it repeatedly around Christmas. Can't remember the name or channel it was on, but I figure someone around here might know what I'm talking about.
The M2 name I believe was actually used with some Arcade Games (like Battle Tryst)
In what episode did you discuss Manos the Hands of Fate?
25:30: Hit the weed too hard!
oddity archive SHOULD do the Goosebumps series
pls
Hey Ben! Are you going to do an episode on Tiger Electronics Game com?
Cool.
interesting theory about 'plumbers to don't wear ties' ... that it's from an existing porno , just edited ....
AVGN Appeared on the episodes about the 3DO (An Expensive Video Game Consoled that has $700)
I wanted one of these as a child for some reason too... I think mainly because I spent so much time in the video game section of Best Buy. If I remember correctly it was just a video that showed playback of games and the thing wouldn't let you try it. I might be wrong... I was pretty young.
+Bishop Coxcomb It probably was that. I worked doing demos for 3DO. They liked to have the rolling demo unless there was someone there to live demo it: aka steer people to only the good looking parts, so the suckers, er customers, would buy it.
Wooot!!!
You'll never eat lunch in this town again.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isint the 3do version of night trap highly censored the only version I know that's uncut is the Sega CD version
The best game on the 3DO in my opinion has to be the first Need for Speed game
...the game show host is named Twink? snrk
So that game show was the '90s answer to MadWorld? Weird.
What was he talking about? There is no rape in Night Trap,, your goal is to save the girl!
You don't find rape in video games. You know where you can see rape? Hollywood movies, where were the hearings into Hollywood?
Was the "Hi Eddie, Bye Eddie" an homage to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? th-cam.com/video/ZiHJ0EdVY4o/w-d-xo.html
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but El Touchy is on iTunes now. I mean, unless vinyl is final.
I want to see a episode of the TuboGrafix15 game system.
8:43 origin of vaporwave?
Agreed Ben! I don't feel the technology on the 3DO was perfected in it's time.
It wasn't. The PS1 itself was a bit ahead of it.
I wanna be a SCAT TEAM COMMANDER
22:32 awesome ass shot
What's el touchy? Sounds interesting

Great video keep up the good work. I have a video featuring short previews of about 200 3do games on my channel if you want an idea of what many of these games looked like.
So, I presume the comment about Mad Dog McCree was about not being able to try it without a light gun. As in , acknowledging that there was a light gun controller for the system, right? For the time, if you had the light gun, it was the closest to arcade you could get for the time. Nowadays, the Wii port is fairly accurate.
+Steve Martin The game was crap in the arcade too.
I had a chance to get a 3do fz1 but sadly that chance wasnt meant to be was flat broke at the time it was at a yard sale an if i had $60 at that moment it would've been mine and it was prestine too but i took pics as proof i saw it at least...that counts...right?
+shadowtheoblivious You were better off saving $60. When I was a kid I had a toy called a Zoetrope. It was a cylinder with slits in it. Inside was a series of images on a paper cylinder. When the outside cylinder spun, it made it look like a short animation.
That was more interactive fun than the 3DO.
"This is flying" *shows footage of Star Fox* "this is *real* flying" *shows footage of a game that looks infinitely worse than Star Fox*
Also, I finally am experiencing the "all the suggestions are Code Lyoko" problem that I've seen others complaining about on other videos. If my knowledge of how TH-cam tags and suggestions worked three years ago still isn't obsolete, this would mean Ben spends his time watching Code Lyoko on TH-cam and not putting enough tags on his videos.
Oh yeah, and that Twisted game actually had some pretty great humor in it.
Code lyoko is good. You should watch kt
TheDarkblade511 I used to watch it on Cartoon Network all the time when I was a kid. I remember it being pretty amazing.
Nice episode. I also always wanted a 3DO. Seems to be about 10 solid games. $700 is nuts, ~$1150 in today's money. Crazy! Cover Burn Cycle & The Apprentice in the CDi episode. Fans of the console always praise those. A removed opinion would be valued. Be aware of the infamous CDi time chip...
Its just a game! ❤❤❤
Plumbers don't wear ties?
+bakonfreek In the "game" the plumber wears a tie. When he tells the girl of his dreams he's a plumber, she says "plumbers don't wear ties".
Why does he sit behind a box in his videos?
+Aaron Elliott Maybe the box sits in front of him.
Shame that the M2 never came out, part of what sunk Kenji Eno's WARP. They made Enemy Zero a Saturn exclusive and lost out because of it, sunk a lot of money into making D2 for the M2 but had to scrap everything when the console was cancelled then did an unrelated game called D2 on Dreamcast which ended up being 1 failed console too many for them.
2:50 for box graphic.
22:33 Nice
Rogue Giant That's what Willis was talkin bout !
The controller is a mashup of
Snes: L and R
Mega drive: 3 button
Xbox: headphone out and d-pad
Or Genesis.
Doctah Wahwee genesis still counts as a Mega Drive
It looks like a Snes controller with Sega Genesis buttons
oh no , not Night Trip
Oooh, I hope this means an episode on other Non Sega/Nintendo consoles in the future (I.e. the Atari Jaguar, Phillips CDi, Turbo Grafix 16 and the like)
TVTestKitchen ... aaaand welcome to the Oddity JonTron AngryJoe AVGN Archive.
TVTestKitchen Personally IMO not really looking forward to more video game stuff, you've got every TH-camr beating their dicks over video games already to the point where not even oddity consoles are fresh territory. Benny Boy's stuff is truly fresh from what I see. Not popular, but that's the point, everyone is doing popular. Benny Boy does what's REAL.
Cast Iron Killette
I agree pretty much entirely. I do think it would be nice if the Archive became popular, but for being what it is: done from the heart, with genuine fondness, without blindly adhering to the common tropes, and finding its own oddities to show the world. It's likely he'll tackle video games again, but I hope it's not just out of sheer audience pressure.

3DO doesn't stand for "3D Object" -- it was just meant to rhyme with Audio and Video.
(Also -- There are some great games for the 3DO. It had the best contemporary home version of Samurai Shodown outside the actual Neo Geo, and the best home console port of Wolfenstein 3D is on the system too. Also, if you want a less visually ugly gameshow game, try Zhadnost)
Super Street Fighter II Turbo for 3DO is also amazing. EA published a really crazy game called Immercenary
3DO stands for "Third Dimensional Optics".
Does 'Plumbers Don't Wear Ties' even qualify as a game? It's more like an interactive slideshow.
+Rivetwolf It's barely interactive, too.
It's part of a genre of video games known as visual novels, in which the games are basically overly long cutscenes with the occasional decision-making. Popular entries in this genre include Clannad, Katawa Shojo, and Fate: Stay/Night.
I wonder if the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer console was the predecessor of Sony Playstation in the early 90s.
+Ramil Edrada Espina The Playstation's predecessor was a CD unit for the Super Famicon (SNES). That was in 1988. 3DO was a specification for a console. The specification was conceived in 1989, and the 3DO company was founded in 1991.
Nintendo did not start planning a CD add on Super Famicom until 1990.
They didn't even have a prototype for the Super Famicom ready until the Spring of 1989.
And 3DO's chipset was finalized in May 1992. Not 1989.
8:45 because vaporwave
Man, I used to work at a retro game shop, and we had a 3DO in. If I'd known you needed one at the time I would have been more than happy to let you know about it. Oh well.
How come your usually covered by a box?
+SilenceEnigma He doesn't have a strong chin and can't grow a beard.
it's apart of his gig just like Wilson from home improvement that always hiding behind something or an disguise but for the internet it's an trope and cliché that some content creators either uses an animation gimmick or hide behind something . Centrevez Vectra
Now i wanna download war of the worlds
First playing game on 3DO was The Way of The Warriors and Need for Speed, first playing it, it's blow my mind because the graphics are best at the time compare to Sega Mega Drive. As far when owning 3DO only 4 game I played on my 3DO, beside my first two game, the other two are Captain Quazar and Gex until I sold it.
Not very nostalgic for owning 3DO.
Under 300+ club. :3
$699 in 1993 = $1,135 in 2015 money. Ouch.
+Rob McLean It was worth about $1.13 in 2096 money.
everything was a lot of money in 1970 - 2000 era of games
Like a era of expensive shit
TheAndrew281 Yes, my guilty pleasure was from the Sony Family
my last name is hawkins
Politicians have more things to worry about then video games like there own agenda.
never had a 3do , so no opinion on it , i have heard it really really bad
+jmm1233 It wasn't as good as only "really really bad".
"Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!..."
I've never understood why these videos always have M.A.S.K. and Code Lyoko in the suggestions bar.
Those TV shows are more of a oddity than anything else shown here.

I thought you were done with videos for a bit, thank god your not
i loved playing twisted with buddies but the jokes became very repetitive
Damn KB Toys once again oh, thanks a lot Mitt Romney, douche.... never mind the thousands of jobs at stake ,the shareholders won't get as big of a check this quarter if we don't close them all
8:50 is this vapor wave?
* *A E S T H E T I C* *
well the 3do was at least a better attempt then the shit cdi for a gaming machine.
I remember that most kids where intressted but the 3do was yust too expensive to take off and people prefered to stick with the brands they trusted at the time.
Esp after we have seen the philips cdi failing big time.
