...or "Name Interpretation". Another mystic extravaganza from the same people who brought us "Tarot" on the 3DO. Namely, Ariadne the digital equivalent of Mystic Meg.
This software, rather thoughtfully, comes with a Beer mat. Which after spending more time than is mentally healthy wading through the menu's, was precisely what I needed.
This isn't a game. To be fair, it isn't really entertainment either.
The software allows you to enter your Japanese name, if you happen to have one, your English name, which I do have, your couples name, a company name or a product name. Once you've fumbled through keying it in with 3DO controller the system will generate a judgement on your name.
So - I stuck in 3DO Kid. Except it wouldn't let me. So I put in Threedo Kid and off we went.
It told me that '3DO Kid' had a tough childhood. It's true! I did! Forced to play second-rate video-games like this hasn't meant my adulthood has fared much better. It told me there will be many job changes and, with a name like 3DO Kid, I would be better-off working in a retail chain. Which left me wondering - was it politely saying flipping burgers down at McDonalds? Spookily - my boss would probably agree. It then went on to say that the year would gradually get better. It did! Well - sort of. And in general I would have a successful life - perhaps missing off the caveat that just as long as I don't set my goals too high.
It went on to prattle on in some pseudo Chinese-mystic prose that I was like water in small container. Quite possibly.
In all it could have given me my total fortune, a personality test, basic fortune, society fortune and the early year-fortune and middle-year fortune. All, naturally, "codswallops".
Not at all import friendly. Even if you speak Japanese.
3DO Kid.
