3DO
<company, games, standard> A set of specifications created and
owned by the 3DO company, which is a partnership of seven
different companies. These specs are the blueprint for making
a 3DO Interactive Multiplayer and are licensed to hardware and
software producers.
A 3DO system has an ARM60 32-bit RISC CPU and a graphics
engine based around two custom designed graphics and animation
processors. It has 2 Megabytes of DRAM, 1 Megabyte of
VRAM, and a double speed CD-ROM drive for main storage.
The Panasonic 3DO system can run 3DO Interactive software,
play audio CDs (including support for CD+G), view Photo-CDs,
and will eventually be able to play Video CDs with a special
add-on MPEG1 full-motion video cartridge. Up to 8
controllers can be daisy-chained on the system at once. A
keyboard, mouse, light gun, and other peripherals may also
some day be hooked into the system, although they are not
currently available (December 1993). The 3DO can display
full-motion video, fully texture mapped 3d landscapes,
all in 24-bit colour. Sanyo and AT&T will also release
3DO systems. Sanyo's in mid 1994 and AT&T in late 1994.
There will be a 3DO add-on cartridge based on the PowerPC to
enable the 3DO to compete with Sony's Playstation console
and Sega's Saturn console, both of which have a higher
specification than the original 3DO. The add-on is commonly
known as the M2 or Bulldog. It should hit the shops by
Christmas 1995 and will (allegedly) do a million flat shaded
polygons per second.
