Crash n Burn

Witness the high-speed, explosive power of the 3DO’s debut title. Crash 'n Burn isn't just a racing game; it’s a brutal, futuristic combat experience that served as the primary showpiece for the system’s 32-bit capabilities. Set in the post-apocalyptic year of 2044, the game trades traditional tracks for dangerous, obstacle-ridden circuits where winning is a matter of both speed and firepower.

The Ultimate Bloodsport

In a world rebuilt from the ashes of global collapse, the "Crash 'n Burn" racing circuit is the only entertainment that matters. You take on the role of one of six distinct pilots—each with their own personality and specialized vehicle—to compete for the championship. Across various global locales, you’ll dodge traffic, navigate jumps, and use heavy weaponry to eliminate anyone standing in your way.

Key Features:

• Cutting-Edge 3D Graphics: As a launch title, Crash 'n Burn stunned players with its fluid 3D environments, textured-mapped tracks, and real-time scaling. It provided a level of visual depth and hill-and-valley terrain that was revolutionary for home consoles in 1993.

• Combat-Heavy Racing: Your vehicle is a rolling tank. Customize your loadout with Guided Missiles, Plasma Cannons, Landmines, and Thermal Shields. Knowing when to shoot and when to drive is the key to surviving the 30-lap gauntlets.

• Diverse Pilot Roster: Choose from eccentric characters like the punk-rocker Roc or the mysterious Morganna. Each driver features a unique vehicle with varying stats in speed, armor, and weapon capacity.

• Immersive FMV Elements: Between races, live-action video sequences and high-quality 3D renders bring the gritty, industrial world of 2044 to life, complete with pre-race banter and cinematic mission briefings.

• Strategic Pit Stops: High-speed racing takes its toll. You must strategically manage your fuel and armor, deciding when to dive into the pit lane for a quick repair or push your car to the limit to maintain your lead.

Why It’s a 3DO Icon:

Developed by Crystal Dynamics, Crash 'n Burn was the game that proved the 3DO was a generation ahead of its competition. Its combination of aggressive combat, rock-and-roll attitude, and impressive technical performance makes it the definitive "first play" for any 3DO owner. For collectors, it remains an essential piece of gaming history that captures the raw ambition of the early 32-bit era.
