Other uses 3DO disambiguation The 3DO Blaster was an add on designed to allow compatible Windows based PCs to play games for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer 3DO console. It was a full sized Industry Standard Architecture ISA compatibility card , and unlike other such add ons, it does not emulate a 3DO system, but rather the whole system s logic board is included, with the input controllers and output video & audio redirected to the PC. The product was marketed as a single board for CD ROM drive owners but only of a particular CD ROM drive model, see below or bundled with the necessary CD ROM drive. The software drivers allowed for DOS or Windows 3.1 based gameplay, although Windows based gaming featured real time stretching of the game window and screenshot capturing. As graphics boards of the time 1994 were not up to par with the system s needs, a pass through using a VGA feature connector link was used, thus reserving an area on screen to be used by the 3DO Blaster card s output on the Windows environment running under DOS, full screen was the only option . Thus, there was no impact on the CPU. As with the first 3DO system from Panasonic REAL FZ 1 an Full motion video FMV daughter card enabling VideoCD playback was planned, but since the 3DO Blaster failed to achieve momentum, it was never released. Saved games were stored in NVRAM on the card, supposedly not using resources on the PC to prevent hacking. Required CD ROM drive The only CD ROM drive that worked with the card was the Creative CR 563 a Panasonic model, re branded by Creative . Bundle contents The card was sold with the cables needed, a 3DO controller by Logitech, and two 3DO games on CD Shock Wave from Electronic Arts and Gridders from Tetragon . Despite showing the long boxes of the two games on the back of the packing box, they were included in jewel cases only. A third CD, containing demos of popular 3DO games was also included.
