Panasonic FZ-1 R·E·A·L 3DO Interactive Multiplayer was released in Japan, Asia, North America and Europe). It was the first 3DO system, which was initially priced at $699.99 in the U.S. and 79,800 yen (approximately US$712) in Japan. The price was later reduced to $399.99 in the fall of 1994. It is also the more successful 3DO system and that is why people refer to the whole family of consoles as "Panasonic 3DO".
