Wanna own a 3DO property? Place your bids...

Yeah, this is the nail in the coffin of 3DO. Good riddance.

Seems that if you go to the 3DO site, you can place bids on their different shitty franchises...other than maybe the 4 Horsemen game, I think we should start a collection here at TNL, buy all the franchises, and bury them out in the desert along with all those old E.T. Atari 2600 carts to ensure they never see the light of day again...though, in the hands of actual good designers and developers, some of them could be decent.

I hope that some decent developer(Capcom maybe) would buy 4 Horseman, and release it. It did look like a pretty cool game.

Do they own the Star Control franchise? I would buy that if I could.

A lot of people here seem to think they can pump out better games than other companies. Buy 3DO and make good on your claim.

3D0 wasn't all bad, it's a shame to see the company end like "this."

The Star Control franchise is owned by Infogrames/Atari since they bought Accolade a while back.

Blizzard should buy army men, that's more RTS right there baby!

I want Starfighter! I got threefitty right here, going once, going twice...

Star control 2 went opensource..I doubt Atarigrams has the licence anymore, or let it lapse.

wait whats going on? i was looking foreward to the 4 horsemen game....

If you've got a hundred thousand, you can MAKE that Four Horseman game!

I've so got dibs on gems like Godai and Dragon Rage. Oh and Jonny Mosley Mad Trix. You can't make funnier games than these if you tried.

Speaking of which, I need to try that Shifters game and see if it matches the previously mentioned titles...

Heroes of Might and Magic is the shiznit, I hope someone picks that one up.

I would totally buy the rights to Army Men.

Come on, man, a half-retarded monkey could make a better game than Army Men: Green Rouge. Other companies can churn out quality software on a regular basis (such as Capcom). Why was almost every game 3DO made a piece of shit? I'll fully admit that they used to make some good games, back when they were supporting their own console (Bladeforce, Killing Time), but ever since they became a third party their quialty took a nosedive in design, concept, technical impressiveness, name it. I assume that, in an attempt to create "franchises" to shove down people throats, they gave their development teams really short amounts of time to get the games out the door, and that's gonna affect the quality. That explains how they released about 4,000 buggy, grainy, pixel-laden Army Men games with piss-poor control a year.

So, anyway, if you want to loan me the cash, you and me can buy 3DO and we can make some...well, better games than 3DO, anyway.

I always thought the Army Men games had a great concept, but shit excution. If done right, you could make a really fun game out of that franchise.

I want Crash and Burn! And Killing Time! Do you think if I buy Way of the Warrior they'll throw in Plumbers Don't Wear Ties?

I do hope someone makes a Requiem sequel. I know most people don't like it as much as I do but I think most would agree it was one of the best games 3DO published. Who knows what happened to Cyclone Studios though.
