Ebay mostly and forums...I think i was very lucky to find them and kind of cheap.  There is someone though trying to port them to the FZ35S so i believe it will be very easy to obtain the 35s and the isos...sometime! |
Keep us up to date on that stuff dude. That would be pretty damn cool. |

Has some nice shots of the different M2 arcade games. |
Nice links there. I'd like to see some of that stuff here on this site too though. |

| Hey, do any of the M2 models that made it into circulation actually read the 3DO games on them? I know that the system was supposed to be backwards compatible, but was that a finished thing or what? I am sure that somebody here either owns one or knows the answer. |

None of the m2s play 3do games unfortunately. |

Total bummer. What do you play on them if you own one man? Not many releases, if any. I know there are a couple demos out there though, yeah? |

Well ... NOTHING!! If you own one of the fz-21s you just own a rare prototype,there are indeed some protos of some games but i doubt we will ever see anything.The fz35s runs some software like the car demo,but dont know if anyone ever come across anything else. There is a mystery on M2,some people know but dont tell anything...  |

It looks like M2 would have been roughly on par with the N64, judging from those screenshots. Not bad for the time, though.

No it is far better if you see those in action,but dont forget these arcades cant be using the hardware fully,they are the first attempts. |

Yeah, after seeing what the M-2 could have done at the E3 back in the day, it is so apparent that the M-2 would have burried the N64 and the Playstation. It really is sad that the system never released. |

Yes there is a Demo out there. There is also a finished racing game that even has a steering wheel that an ex 3DO employee owns. When the hardware division of 3DO went under they let the employees take protos. I actually bought one of my M2's off of an ex 3DO employee (not the same one that has the racing game). |

I've heard a few similar claims, but I am quite skeptical ... |
