Army Men (1998) for Windows 95.
This was the title meant to pivot 3DO from console maker to full-fledged game developer—and for a short while, it worked.
Army Men became a franchise almost overnight. A real-time tactics game where little green plastic soldiers fought it out with dark humour, explosions, and more personality than you’d expect from a box of toys.
It wasn’t enough to save 3DO in the long run. But in 1998, it felt like the start of something big—and for that brief window, it really was.
