==Games== {{See also|List of 3DO games}} [[File:Crash 'n Burn (3DO game - screenshot).jpg|thumb|left|''[[Crash 'N Burn (1993 video game)|Crash 'N Burn]]'', the system's first bundled title]] Some of the best-received titles were ports of arcade or PC games that other systems of the time were not capable of playing, such as ''[[Alone in the Dark (1992 video game)|Alone in the Dark]]'', ''[[Myst]]'' and ''[[Star Control II]]''. Other popular titles included [[Total Eclipse (1993 video game)|''Total Eclipse'']], ''[[Jurassic Park Interactive]]'', ''[[Gex (video game)|Gex]]'', ''[[Crash 'N Burn (1993 video game)|Crash 'N Burn]]'', ''[[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Slayer|Slayer]]'', ''[[Killing Time (video game)|Killing Time]]'', ''[[The Need for Speed]]'', ''[[Road Rash (1994 video game)|Road Rash]]'', and ''[[Immercenary]]''. The 3DO version of arcade title ''[[Samurai Shodown (1993 video game)|Samurai Shodown]]'' was the only port with faithful graphics for some time, and the 3DO ''[[Super Street Fighter II Turbo]]'' was the first port with its CD-quality audio. Since its release coincided with the arrival of the modern [[first-person shooter]], the 3DO also had some of the earliest members of the genre as exclusives, such as ''[[Escape from Monster Manor]]'', the previously mentioned ''Killing Time'', and ''[[PO'ed]]'', as well as ports of ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' and ''[[Doom (1993 video game)|Doom]]''. However, the 3DO library also exhibited less successful traits of home consoles at the time. The 3DO was one of the first CD-ROM consoles, and some early titles on the 3DO frequently attempted to use [[interactive movie]]-style gameplay. Such titles rendered all or nearly all of their graphics in full motion video, which necessitated that any interactive influence from the player be limited to a greater extent than other games of the time. Some games followed a single unfolding of events simply by [[Quick time event|correctly timed prompts]] executed by the player. ''[[Night Trap]]'', ''[[D (video game)|D]]'', ''[[Mad Dog McCree]]'', and ''[[The Daedalus Encounter]]'' are among the more famous examples of full motion video driven games.
