Panasonic FZ-1 3DO (#FZ-1)
The first company to develop a system with the 3DO technology was Panasonic with their FZ-1. The FZ-1 was a front loading system with a motorized disc tray. On the side, a port for expansion and contained 32kB of battery back up for saving games. When it released, the price was $699.99 USD. With the system you got one controller, AV cables, and a demo disk. The power cord was hardwired to the system, but here are the specifications: AC 120V 60Hz 30W

Because the 3DO had only one controller port, all controller daisy-chained off of Player 1's controller. Some controllers had plugs directly on the controller to plug in Player 2, some had second cords to plug into. Two cosmetically different Panasonic 3DO controllers. FZ-JP1X |
