PSY GAMES Remote Viewing Training · 3DO Interactive Multiplayer
PSY GAMES on the 3DO is a near-complete conversion of the PlayStation edition of Remote Viewing Training, carried across with only slight downgrades. It keeps the original's full target set and all four modes, and it does something almost no 3DO release ever did: it supports the 3DO Mouse in every game mode.
01What this is
The 3DO build tracks the PlayStation version closely, on a 32-bit CD console. The same cyan terminal UI sits over a starfield, target photos are rendered as a duotone, and the whole loop is intact: pick a target code, sketch your impressions, reveal the photo, and grade yourself against the computer's read. Sessions are logged to the console's memory so your history survives between sittings.
- Remote Viewing. The original target-sketch trainer: clear your mind, draw impressions, then grade them against the revealed target.
- Men In Black: Gate Keeper. The gate-interdiction protocol: hold the gates shut across six rounds.
- Search and Rescue. The remote-geolocation drill, pinging a target's position round by round.
- PSYOP. The spot-the-lie broadcast: watch the host and count the tells.
- 3DO Mouse in every mode. Drawing, interdiction, pinging, and menus all accept the mouse, which is exceedingly rare for a 3DO title.
- Full target set and session history. The set matches the original, over 800 images, and results are saved to the 3DO's memory.

03Controls & mouse support
The port plays with a standard 3DO control pad, using a cursor for drawing and the face buttons for everything else. What makes it unusual is full 3DO Mouse support, and not just on the sketch screen: the mouse works in every mode, from drawing impressions to holding gates in Men In Black, pinging a location in Search & Rescue, and picking statements in PSYOP, as well as navigating the menus. Mouse support was rare on the 3DO to begin with, and supporting it across an entire game like this is rarer still.
04How it compares to the original
The disc keeps every mode and the original's full target set; as a port of the PlayStation edition, it stays close to that version with only minor concessions to the hardware. The web app runs in full color at any resolution with touch or mouse. The 3DO renders to a 4:3 screen with duotone targets, saves to the console's internal memory, and carries its rarest feature forward: a mouse that works everywhere.
