Released in 1993, the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer was a CD-based console platform developed by The 3DO Company and manufactured by brands such as Panasonic, GoldStar, and Sanyo. Designed as a premium multimedia system, it featured advanced audio, full-motion video, and arcade-style gameplay that pushed boundaries for its era. Despite its high launch price, the 3DO has become increasingly collectible due to its unique hardware variations, experimental game library, and important role in early CD-ROM console history.
