  3DO MOUSE
The 3DO mouse is misleading though......Instead of being used as a pointer to click on things(like in windows with the icons), it's used to shoot things(same premises but it is different).
It has a shorter cord than most 3DO controllers, and there is no daisy chain(although you could use it with 2 players if you connected it to a controller with a daisy chain[you just can't use two mice at once]).
The mouse ball is fl and too small for the 3DO mouse in my oppinion, so I opted for a regular PC mouse ball which is a little bit larger and roles a lot better.

 ClassicGaming.com - The Museum: 3DO
The 3DO was originally designed to be the next step in home entertainment: Audi-o, vide-o, 3D-O. The creators hoped it would become as common as the VCR and as fun and entertaining as a TV, VCR, CD player, videogame system and computer combined.
With the idea that the 3DO was to become a multifunctional part of everyone's home entertainment centers, the unit was released in 1993 with an MSRP of $700 (and sometimes sold for even higher prices).
The policy was both a blessing and a nightmare as the 3DO saw some of the finest games ever created and some of the worst trash that somehow escaped the incinerator.

 3DO Interactive Multiplayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3DO Interactive Multiplayer (most commonly referred to as the 3DO) was a line of video game consoles released in 1993 and 1994 by Panasonic, Sanyo and Goldstar, among other companies.
In addition to the consoles, a 3DO Blaster ISA peripheral card for PCs which offered all the features of the home console was manufactured by Creative Technology.
The 3DO Company then became a software publisher, producing such games as the Army Men franchise, until it filed for bankruptcy and liquidated its assets in 2003.

Ironically, the 3DO Company is much more successful publishing software for systems such as Playstation, Nintendo 64, and the PC than it was for its own.
The 3DO Company allowed developers to release extremely bad games: Plumber's Don't Wear Ties and Shadow: War of Succession, are considered to be two of the worst games ever made, if not the worst.
For two years, 3DO was the 'most advanced video game system in the universe', as their tagline stated.

 3DO
Initially, the 3DO was priced at over $700.00 USD, an extremely high amount of money at the time, especially when other game systems could be purchased for much, much less.
It was to make the 3DO a 64-bit machine, capable of running software that would leave the Playstation in the dust, but instead of releasing this technology to the 3DO owners, as promised, it was sold off, never to see the light of day in a game console.
3DO console owners were left high and dry, and in 1996, the 3DO company ceased support of the console and transitioned into a software developer.

The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer (most commonly referred to as 'the 3DO') was a line of video game consoles released in 1993 and 1994 by Panasonic, Sanyo and Goldstar.
In addition to special 3DO software, the system was able to play audio CDs (including support for CD+G), view Photo CDs, and Video CDs with an add-on MPEG video card (released in Japan only).
A noteable feature of the console is that it is one of few CD-based consoles that feature neither regional lockout nor copy protection, scoring it points amongst import gamers and software pirates alike, though reports have suggested that the Goldstar model isn't particularly durable when used for either of those purposes.
