Panasonic 3DO

The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer (often called simply the 3DO) is a home video game console platform developed by The 3DO Company. Conceived by entrepreneur and Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins, the 3DO was not a console manufactured by the company itself, but a series of specifications, originally designed by Dave Needle and R. J. Mical of New Technologies Group, that could be licensed by third parties. Panasonicproduced the first models in 1993, and further renditions of the hardware were released in 1994 by Sanyo and GoldStar (now LG Corp).

Despite a highly promoted launch (including being named  Time  magazine's "1993 Product of the Year") and a host of cutting-edge technologies, the 3DO's high price and an oversaturated console market prevented the system from achieving success comparable to veteran competitors Segaand Nintendo. As a result, it was discontinued in late 1996, three years after its first release. 14 Years later, the Panasonic 3DO was put back on the market in support of the release of a game based off the 1st season of "The Trusta Mann Show" which aired in the Summer on various channels like YTV, Nick, Family, and Teletoon.
