Doom became a " killer app " that all capable consoles and operating systems were expected to have, and versions of Doom have subsequently been released for the following systems: DOS, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Apple Macintosh, Super NES, Sega 32X, Sony PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, iOS, Symbian OS, RISC OS, Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Tapwave Zodiac, 3DO, Xbox, and Xbox Live Arcade.

Might and Magic ( MM ) is a series of role-playing video games from New World Computing, which in 1996 became a subsidiary of The 3DO Company.

The original Might and Magic series officially ended with the closure of the 3DO Company.

In August of 2003, Ubisoft acquired the rights to the Might and Magic franchise for US $ 1. 3 million after 3DO filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Unlike nearly any other console ( except for the 3DO and CD-i ), the PC-FX was also available as an internal PC card for NEC PC-98 and AT / IBM PC compatibles.

By 1993 the 32-bit 3DO platform was released with much developer interest and Sega and Sony let it be known that the Sega Saturn and PlayStation would be ready for the Japanese marketplace in late 1994, and Bandai was also readying the release of their Playdia system.

The 3DO Company ( formerly THDO on the NASDAQ stock exchange ), also known as 3DO ( short for three-dimensional operating system ), was a video game company.

After 3DO's flagship video game console the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer failed in the marketplace, the company exited the hardware business and became a third-party video game developer.

When the company was first founded, its original objective was to create a next-generation CD-based video game system which would be manufactured by various partners and licensees ; 3DO would collect a royalty on each console sold and on each game manufactured.

The 3DO console was priced at $ 699, and the promised " early adopters " didn't show up to purchase large quantities of games.

In October 1995, The 3DO Company sold its next generation console, M2, to Matsushita, and changed its business to develop and publish games for other game consoles and PCs.

After abandoning the 3DO console, the company acquired Cyclone Studios, Archetype Interactive and New World Computing.

Consumers also had no interest in purchasing sequels to the earlier 3DO games that disappointed them, and the pricing of 3DO software forced 3DO supporters to eventually flock to Sony's PlayStation for next-gen video gaming.
