General Info

The FZ-10 was the successor to the Panasonic FZ-1 and was made as a low cost alternative. It was a top loading system instead of utilizing a disc tray. The unit contained a port for expansion and contained 32kB of battery back up for saving games. The hardwired software was a memory manager. For the price you paid for the system you received AV cables, one controller, and the Gex game. The FZ-10 was not compatible with all of the FZ-1 upgrades.

Key Accessories:

Technical Specs:

The console had advanced hardware features at the time: an ARM60 32-bit RISC CPU, two custom video co-processors, a custom 16-bit DSP and a custom math co-processor. It also featured 2 mebibytes of DRAM, 1 mebibyte of VRAM, and a double speed CD-ROM drive for main CD+Gs or Photo CDs (and Video CDs with an add-on MPEG video module). The 3DO included the first music visualizer in a game console, converting CD music to a mesmerizing color pattern. The controller was also original for its time; a headphone jack and volume dial was available at the bottom of the

initial version.

Technical Advice:

Has RF output, AV Output and S Video. Only has one controller port.
