PaTaank
3DO · 1994
About this game
If you've ever thought of what it feels like to be the ball in a pinball machine, playing PaTaank might give you some idea.
Instead of flapping the flippers, the player controls the ball, or in PaTaank, a UFO-shaped puck around the three different tables.

The tables are named Surf Room, Luv Room, and Disaster Room and they are connected to each other via Nexus.
Player can choose to play one room or in the MetaGame mode, all of them in sequence.
Each room has an objective and in the MetaGame mode, player must reach that objective to advance into the next room via the Nexus.
Like any pinball, there are targets, tunnels, blocks, and all sorts of flashing things that increase the score, light up letters, or grant bonus items.
In addition to inertial control of the puck, player can apply thrust, which is limited, and activate magnetos, which are scattered around the room.
About 3DO
The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer (1993/1994) was an ambitious, expensive CD-based console licensed to multiple manufacturers rather than built by a single company — a business model that ultimately contributed to its commercial failure. Low overall sales and a short commercial life mean 3DO games were produced in modest numbers, making complete copies a specialist retro collecting niche today.
Gamevaro tracks PaTaank for 3DO with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding PaTaank to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DO release dates back to 1994.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
