Captain Quasar is actually a very difficult game, and very few videos exist. There is a map, rockets and grenades by pressing the other 3D0 controller keys, so you can blow down walls and move quickly. The map to level 1 is huge, and contains two separate bases which you have to storm, which can only be found by visiting the tourist booths and writing down two halfs of a password. There are some extra lives in the desert but even if you have the lives, and memorise the level and the bases, you still have to stop the rockets from taking off by using the rockets and grenades on them. If you let x3 rockets escape, then it's game over, and they take off as soon as you discover them. It would make a great AVGN episode. I have huge respect for the game but I never beat level 1.
Space Hulk is tactical game based on a board game with same name. On each mission you control a squad of terminators spawned on one or two starting points, your enemy is a tyranid genestealers(aliens) that endlessly spawns from marked entry zones. You can switch between tactical and strategy modes, in tactical mode you control 1 individual terminator like in fps, in strategy mode you can see map with current positions of squad members and enemies, and give orders for remaining terminators. Also you have "Freeze" button to stop time in game and change your orders and secondary monitor that show the views of other terminators and allow you to swap control between them. To win this game, you must place terminators in right spots. Terminators with long range weapons automatically firing at enemies that come into their way (overwatch mode), weapons have ulimited ammo, but can jam for a few second after sustained fire, leaving terminators vulnerable. Btw in the campaign, terminators who survive a mission gain experience, improving their abilities and in some missions you can customise weapons, for example you can take a heavy flamer instead of basic bolter weapon. I played it on ps1 and at the time i thought that it's a great game).
I Got Caught Singing the David the Gnome song at Work, thanks to you singing it so often. It gets stuck in my head, Good Song. I told them I was singing a song about a Gnome, and walked away. Hi Mike!
I feel like I'm back in 1995, I never had a 3DO but all this live action stuff was big on PC too. I miss the Space Quest and King's Quest games on the PC. I loved adventure games
These and the CDI streams just have to be the best of them all. You never know what absolutely buckwild random shit is just around the corner. By the time Shelley Duvall morphed into a cartoon my brain was already melted but it didn't stop me from laughing.
I loved this era of gaming: FMV - full motion video. Just something about it. Late elementary school/early middle school, I thought it was so cool at the time.
Mike, you should give AD&D Slayer a chance for a full-length stream. It's the first instance of procedurally generated dungeons that I'd ever seen for a videogame console. It's a fun game to see how far you can get in a run, not unlike modern roguelikes. Give it a go!
*sigh* I don't see anyone else tackling it, so I will... The Shelley Duvall game is an interactive storybook, and Mike apparently never hit the button that goes to the next page. Yes, he switched to later chapters, but not pages. As far as I'm concerned that's just as well, but for anyone curious, there are, somehow, full playthrough videos on this site. Shelley and Dan are still together and still unmarried. I can't imagine that dog is still around, but stupid parrots are immortal so they probably are.
Road Rash is awesome on the 3DO. It still holds up very well too. Some other games I'd recommend on the 3DO: Cannon Fodder (Very much like the PC version, but the animated intro and theme music is pretty amazing. Sensible Software obviously had a blast making it!), GEX (this is the first console release for it), Wolfenstein 3D, Daedalus Encounter, Super Street Fighter II Turbo (excellent playing game, but you kind of need to get used to the limited buttons, get an Avenue/Capcom 6 button controller, or use a SNES to 3DO adapter. The 3DO is another one of those systems that's truly appreciated in its original time. It's the missing link between the Philips CD-i and the PlayStation (for me). I didn't get one until after the PSX.
It's awesome how like 99% of early 3D games are now super hilariously outdated lol. Like you can see what they were going for, but they either had no idea how to actually do it or the technology was way too primitive to allow for it, or both. Pretty interesting.
Mike skipped the incredible machine, which broke my heart. I’m surprised he didn’t recognize it. I’m only a couple of years younger and it was a game I was forced to play in high school as part of tech class. I ended up loving it! One of my favorites. Blowing up cats with dynamite. So good.
Mike, I'm sorry no one knows Silver Spoons, but those are just the facts of life. There's bound to be some growing pains when perfect strangers are born into another world. It's no small wonder that different strokes aren't for all in the family, but as days go by you might find your dynasty.
I remember SPACE HULK quite a little different from this version. It´s basically a tactical game where you set up your team first in a planning stage to secure a perimeter and then take control of one space marine at a time while the other guys are computercontrolled. So it is much easier to have each others back and not get overwhelmed or sneaked up from behind. Talk about Uranus ...
I'd really dig seeing you go through Space Hulk and other Warhammer 40k content in general. I think the whole franchise is horribly fascinating at the very least, and perfectly ripe for mockery.
Glad to see a look into the 3DO library. A friend of mine actually had this system but I only ever saw a handful of titles. Road Rash was the only game I remember enjoying. I thought the FMV stuff was so cool at the time, now I can't stand cutscenes in most games.
As someone on Reddit put it - "The conception, execution and failure of the 3DO is such an interesting story. Those live action games are an interesting form of terrible."
I was born at the tail end of the 80s (my sister is your age). Your singing just unlocked some latent hidden away memories of things from my childhood, lol. Also, I've played most 3DO games and Shockwave 2 is extremely underrated, a different game from the first one and MUCH better. But it's mission based, meaning you have to pay a bit of attention and read a little bit which I know you have historically had trouble doing. It's very similar to Desert Strike in that regard. There's also a lot of campy FMV cutscenes which I personally like, not sure if that's your thing. I like Sewer Shark/Shitshark for the same reason, it's easy if you know what to do and it has those campy 80's cutscenes (it was filmed in 1987.)
I can’t even imagine how disappointing it would have been to pay $700 for the console and another $60 for a game, and this is what you got. I remember seeing commercials for the 3DO and begging my parents to get it. Thank God they had sense enough to say no.
Haha im watching this and im late 40s. I still talk about My Two Dads and the Hogan Family and get blank stares. Mr Belvedere theme song was the best though.
Man, 3DO has some psychedelic games. They look like “LSD” (PS1) spin offs. PO’ed and Ciberdillo (and basically most of the library)are probably amazing if you play ‘em under the influence of drugs (not that anyone should do drugs…remember “Winners don’t do drugs”)
The Master of Variety. Seriously. Like vinny does some of this but its emulated. And your Halflife 2 playthrough is my second behind ross scotts Freemans Mind series. Its awesome.
Top notch stream Mike. a lot of these games you played were reviewed by James in his 3DO review, we saw a lot of interesting and awkward things in this one, that Shelley Duval bird game was honestly one of the creepiest things i've seen in my entire life.
Space Hulk is in the Warhammer universe. It’s a strategy tactical fps and the mode you were playing it on was survive for the duration of the time limit.
Come on Mike, you need a little more fadeout ending in tunes these days. There's very few in this music industry today. Keep up the good work man, you're entertaining in the raging games dept. I've been there! lol.
Way of the warriors a really good fighting game if you practice at it and have all the move lists off the internet each fighter has many fatalities before mortal Kombat started doing that
I suggest buying the Amiga forever software to play all the Amiga games and commodore games flawlessly. There is no way to play the games then to download the roms.
Hi mike! Some lines about space hulk. Bare in mind that i mostly played the boardgame and the amiga version. You can set your different terminators to overwatch so they automatically shoot at everything they can see. You basicaly try to block the entries to the corridor you want to move through with overwatch and then use one terminator to advance through that corridor. You then put him in overwatch and then follow up with one of the other terminators. The weapons can jam so you have to unjam them. This mechanic is there to balance overwatch. Try to have your captain at the front, most of the time, cause he also has a melee weapon to stand a chance when the enemys (called tyranids, btw) get up close. Its a tactical/strategic rpg, more or less. You have been warned! I hope i could bring some light into the darkness of this great classic. Talking of classics: great singing performance! Greetings from germany, Stay safe! Nico
Space Hulk can be a very fun game and it's definitely possible to succeed in it, but it's not a casual pick up and play at all in my opinion. You wanna do the tutorials and you'll spend a lot of time on the map moving your Terminators as well as fighting in game. You want to set up choke points with your squad so you can't be flanked and cornered. You'll often find yourself having squad members hold down a corridor or two while everyone else moves forward to complete the objective. I had a lot of fun with it on PS1 as a kid
Man, one of my roommates in university bought this when it came out, plus like 6 games. 💰 Gex and Return Fire were ok. The rest sucked. I played my SNES.

Forget the 3DO, the REAL highlight here is Mike's karaoke segments! Such a showman!
Here you have a guy who knows how to be fun, how to have fun. I'm So thankful, that I'm not alone and there is Mike there for me. Thank you very much.
Really enjoying these 3DO Streams! Interesting and hilarious!
Me 2 so nostalgic
EA should have never stopped making Road Rash. Such a great game.
skitchin was a great game too
I agree. Road Redemption on steam is a good love-letter to the series but it's still not Road Rash
Indeed. The layer road rash games on playstation didn't really have the same appeal though
Nah, leave it like that, if they discover people like it, they'll monetize the heck out of it with pay 2 win mumbo jumbo.
We need more road rash and twisted metal games
28:45 This is obviously the part everybody should be looking for! 🤣
34:39 More!
56:29 We've all been there, Mike.
Thanks time post guy!
Watching Mike play Space Hulk while not knowing what Warhammer 40K is was amazing.
The rant about the 90s comic art was the chef's kiss.
Agreed. He so quickly and clearly understood everything Games Workshop is about! 😆

Probably the best ending to any stream ever.
The makeup gnome beard had me on the floor
I Got Caught Singing the David the Gnome song at Work, thanks to you singing it so often. It gets stuck in my head, Good Song. I told them I was singing a song about a Gnome, and walked away. Hi Mike!
Easy Come ! Easy Go !!!!
The kingdom of the gnoooooooome !
The makeup beard😂
Thanks Don Knotts for all your hard work.
I feel like I'm back in 1995, I never had a 3DO but all this live action stuff was big on PC too. I miss the Space Quest and King's Quest games on the PC. I loved adventure games
Mike should begin his streams singing theme songs from the 80s. His Silver Spoons rendition is on a whole new level of EPIC.
massively agree!😉
The outro when he put the make up on at the end of stream had me dying 😅 with the gnomes
Hello dolly was my favorite
44:33 "Nice, I own a Panasonic 3DO console. What other games are there."🤣
When you busted out the microphone to sing the silver spoons theme song I lost it.
These and the CDI streams just have to be the best of them all. You never know what absolutely buckwild random shit is just around the corner. By the time Shelley Duvall morphed into a cartoon my brain was already melted but it didn't stop me from laughing.
you're actually quite a good singer Mike... damn! easy come, easy go... epic asf, and so much fun!
Dude it's so much fun watching these streams I'll get home from work and watch them while I'm making dinner
the load was indeed huge, big guy. cheers!
I can’t believe he didn’t play Doom! The 3DO port is the best!😂
I'd be down for a 15 minute video of Gadget explaining the origin of the glow
Since Mike started his Twitch journey he’s slowly descending into madness……and I’m all about it.
God bless u my friend
29:20 If cable guy got a reboot they should design the character around you cause it fits too perfectly.
I loved this era of gaming: FMV - full motion video. Just something about it. Late elementary school/early middle school, I thought it was so cool at the time.
Thanks for these awesome fun streams Mike, you are one of a kind streamer and that is really much appreciated!
The thumbnail is breathtaking
I really need to watch more of these. Your comedy has always been right up my alley and you're completely in your element in these. 😎
Mike, you should give AD&D Slayer a chance for a full-length stream. It's the first instance of procedurally generated dungeons that I'd ever seen for a videogame console. It's a fun game to see how far you can get in a run, not unlike modern roguelikes. Give it a go!
Holy Christ Captain Quasar makes me motion sick

I didn't get one until after the PSX.
My parents randomly bought me a 3DO when I was a kid. I had a lot of fun with it especially Return Fire.
It's awesome how like 99% of early 3D games are now super hilariously outdated lol. Like you can see what they were going for, but they either had no idea how to actually do it or the technology was way too primitive to allow for it, or both. Pretty interesting.
The commentary for POed is golden. If you’re ever having a bad day, just watch that.
I remember 3DO was $700 when it first cameout ,back in the day.
34:41
This is one of the greatest moments of the internet
I love getting high and watch Mike play retro games.
man for that price of the 3D0 they sure had some great games!
Mike skipped the incredible machine, which broke my heart. I’m surprised he didn’t recognize it. I’m only a couple of years younger and it was a game I was forced to play in high school as part of tech class. I ended up loving it! One of my favorites. Blowing up cats with dynamite. So good.

Wow imagine paying $700 for a 3DO…..in 1993!
You could buy a decent used car for that price!😂
The songs at 3:24:13 are catchy and is now stuck in memory
Now that I have a 3D0, I can play PC quality Shovelware in the comfort of my living room!
Total Eclipse was an awesome 3do game, as I recall
Love the 3do stream and all the quality content you bring us Mike.
I have to admit, a revisit to finish half these games would be much appreciated!
I was not expecting, nor ready for how that ended... Did not Disappoint! 😎
I LOVE the 3do streams and mikes face
I remember SPACE HULK quite a little different from this version. It´s basically a tactical game where you set up your team first in a planning stage to secure a perimeter and then take control of one space marine at a time while the other guys are computercontrolled. So it is much easier to have each others back and not get overwhelmed or sneaked up from behind. Talk about Uranus ...
What a crazy set of games
Really enjoying these 3do videos it’s such a strange system.
I'd really dig seeing you go through Space Hulk and other Warhammer 40k content in general. I think the whole franchise is horribly fascinating at the very least, and perfectly ripe for mockery.
Ambitious but... ahhh lol. Garbage, I couldn't imagine coming home excited to play this like I was for SimCity on SNES.
Seal of the pharaoh is incredible!
Mike needs to experience Duelin’ Firemen on the 3DO.
Your streams when you wear the magic hat and sing are tops
Anybody notice that Christopher Lambert was a voice actor for Robinsons requiem lol
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing Mike!
Love your content Mike, but wow, I'm feeling old after understanding all those 80s references 😅
Glad to see a look into the 3DO library. A friend of mine actually had this system but I only ever saw a handful of titles. Road Rash was the only game I remember enjoying. I thought the FMV stuff was so cool at the time, now I can't stand cutscenes in most games.
The 3DO had like 5 good games.
I’m excited to see the full stream of PO’ed lol
As someone on Reddit put it - "The conception, execution and failure of the 3DO is such an interesting story. Those live action games are an interesting form of terrible."
I'm really enjoying my 3do now that I got one
The horde is really fun.and killing time is the first person shooter you want to play on 3d0.
I was born at the tail end of the 80s (my sister is your age). Your singing just unlocked some latent hidden away memories of things from my childhood, lol.
Also, I've played most 3DO games and Shockwave 2 is extremely underrated, a different game from the first one and MUCH better.

lmao my boy look like he about to go ballistic
Space Hulk is known for being one of the hardest games ever made. I couldn't get through the demo.
I can’t even imagine how disappointing it would have been to pay $700 for the console and another $60 for a game, and this is what you got. I remember seeing commercials for the 3DO and begging my parents to get it. Thank God they had sense enough to say no.
Mike did more coke than usual right before this stream lol
This is my favorite stream of yours Mike. I love the ending with Shelly, and the songs you play and sing.
Haha im watching this and im late 40s. I still talk about My Two Dads and the Hogan Family and get blank stares. Mr Belvedere theme song was the best though.
I'm playing the newer Space Hulk on steam while Mike rages at the old one...which I had in the 90s its so hard.
“Easy come, easy go!!”
I had no idea there was so much FMV on the 3do.
Man, 3DO has some psychedelic games. They look like “LSD” (PS1) spin offs. PO’ed and Ciberdillo (and basically most of the library)are probably amazing if you play ‘em under the influence of drugs (not that anyone should do drugs…remember “Winners don’t do drugs”)
The Master of Variety. Seriously. Like vinny does some of this but its emulated. And your Halflife 2 playthrough is my second behind ross scotts Freemans Mind series. Its awesome.
I pretty much always use real consoles. If I dont, I say. Like sometimes have have used mame and whatnot but typically its a real system.
Top notch stream Mike. a lot of these games you played were reviewed by James in his 3DO review, we saw a lot of interesting and awkward things in this one, that Shelley Duval bird game was honestly one of the creepiest things i've seen in my entire life.
Really enjoyed your karaoke, Mike🎵🎶😎👌
Elvis rules!
I've had the entire 3DO collection on my pc and emulation stations for ages...and I have never even opened up the emulator. I might check a few out.
Space Hulk is in the Warhammer universe. It’s a strategy tactical fps and the mode you were playing it on was survive for the duration of the time limit.
Come on Mike, you need a little more fadeout ending in tunes these days. There's very few in this music industry today. Keep up the good work man, you're entertaining in the raging games dept. I've been there! lol.
Awesome to see SPACE HULK on here, I loved that game, so intense and the closest we got a good ALIEN game.
This stream is Mike's magnum O piss
That Shelley Duvall game.. Somebody needs to make a Mike version, lol.
29 min mark had me 💀I’m 44 Mike I understand 😂🙌🏻
Way of the warriors a really good fighting game if you practice at it and have all the move lists off the internet each fighter has many fatalities before mortal Kombat started doing that
Eternal champions would like a word
Let me know what you think of the new Sonic game!
Aww...I missed out on the 3Dookie. 😭
Return Fire is the game to try on 3DO
I like Return Fire and ended up liking Star Wars on 3do. I dont know what people see in road rash. There seems to be nothing to it.
luckily people can play return fire on ps1 if they don't feel like hunting down a 3DO, it's a really fun game
I suggest buying the Amiga forever software to play all the Amiga games and commodore games flawlessly. There is no way to play the games then to download the roms.

How does armless mike play video games?
Man, one of my roommates in university bought this when it came out, plus like 6 games. 💰 Gex and Return Fire were ok. The rest sucked.
I played my SNES.
I still own my first and second edition of the space hulk boardgame. Great way to end friendships ;)
MAZER streamer. Fuck yeah. I wanna go to that party for sure.
Dr. Hauzer looks a lot like the original Alone in the Dark trilogy. Even more so than Resident Evil did.
Play God Hand, it's right up your alley.
i did.
