Great game, but some maintenance may be required.
1 of 1 found this helpful Much in the vein of Dark Tower and The Omega Virus, Mall Madness is a family electronic/board game hybrid that challenges players to optimize their money to be the first to get 6 items from the mall and exit. You'll find most of the strategy is based around weighing the advantages of a closely located store and a possible sale that is further away. The rules are fairly simple as most of the complexity of the game is handled by a central battery-operated game master of sorts. Movement, random events, and results from purchases and bank withdrawals are all handled by the computer module. It's a 20-30 minute casual play that shows off the fun teenage mall culture of the 80s and early 90s.
Setup of the game takes a bit as little cardboard pieces slide into plastic walls and cardboard walkways bridge across the mall. The whole setup is quite impressive and brings the feeling of a mall to life. Just be ready to give yourself a bit of time to learn what goes where.
The computer module is battery operated, meaning if you get the game used, the game could be damaged from battery corrosion. While this is usually repairable, you will want to investigate this possible issue (like I had with my copy) prior to storage.
Good game. Too bad it's collectable, thus inflating the price. Fun for the whole family and it's an easy teach. Takes a bit to setup and might require some repair, but it's worth it.

One of the best console arcade sticks around
For a console that has number of fighting games and arcade titles, having a decent arcade stick/controller is very helpful. The Digital Stick Controller Pad for the a great fit for the 3DO library. The stick itself uses micro switches for a very good feeling and accurate experience. The buttons, while using carbon pads, do offer varying layouts via a toggle switch. Playing Bust-A-Move? Use Mode 1 for easy access to A, B, and C. Doing Street Fighter? Use Mode 2 for a very nice 6 button layout. You pay a little for the controller, but it is very worth it.
