the LG 3DO Alive II...a 3DO M2 in disguse

a dummy rare console that was supposed to be a DIFFERENT console

What pisses me the most about those consoles is the lack of RGB output. In this case, it's even worse. You would have to make a hole to add a connector just for that.

Really a shame, it's a gorgeous machine in its own right.

Korean 3DO stuff is genuinely rare as hell.

I'd noticed that picture of the goldstar M2 looked like this console before, but I appreciate the teardown of the Alive II. The goldstar M2 controller looked interesting too, even if it might not have been the most ergonomic design, there's something to be said for the era when systems really tried to be very distinct with their looks/controllers.

The 3do ran until 99 in Korea

Yes the aesthetic is legit on this one

Did they manufacture any systems after 1996?

 

[kernow]

Don't know, I can't remember if that video above said 96 or 97

The 3do was a great machine, people don't realise what it was like to own one at the time before PS1 etc

That is awesome. I've never even seen this bad boy before!
