stika: Oh I thought this thread about the 3do console, not the company :P
What's WITH that anyway - the company and the console having teh same name? Always seemed odd to me...
*edit*
Third-party developer[edit]
After abandoning the 3DO console, the company acquired Cyclone Studios, Archetype Interactive and New World Computing. The company's biggest hit was its series of Army Men games, featuring generic green plastic soldier toys. Its Might and Magic and especially Heroes of Might and Magic series from subsidiary New World Computing were perhaps the most popular among their games at the time of release. During the late 1990s, the company published one of the first 3D MMORPGs: Meridian 59, which survives to this day in the hands of some of the game's original developers.
With the exception of its well-received High Heat Baseball franchise and BattleTanx games, most of the company's games were critically panned.[citation needed] After struggling for several years, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2003.[3] Trip Hawkins' questionable policy of rushing games to the market in 6 months did not pay off. Employees were laid off without pay, and the company's game brands and other intellectual properties were sold to rivals like Microsoft, Namco, Crave and Ubisoft, and also to founder Trip Hawkins, who paid $405,000 for rights to some old brands and the company's "Internet patent portfolio". Hawkins went on to found Digital Chocolate, a mobile-based gaming company.
