Sega 3D Glasses VS Virtual Boy

I haven’t use the Sega glasses, but I have shutter-glasses for my PC. I’ve also played “The 3D Battles of World Runner” for the NES, which uses a similar system for the 3D mode (it alternates the left/right images, but also changes the palette so that the left image is shades of red and the right is shades of blue; for use with anaglyph glasses).

The picture quality is probably not as good, especially if you are sensitive to flickering images (I can’t even stand to look at a 60 Hz computer monitor for very long…) since it basically halves the frame-rate of your TV.

Also, it may not even work if you have your Master System/Mark III hooked up to an LCD or Plasma TV.

Yeah, it’s a cool effect, but nothing to get too excited about. It’s still the same game with a cool 3D effect, but an annoying flicker.

I have… very similar to the Sega ones. I think Rad Racer was the only game I played, but it was a long time ago, so there may have been some others.

Hi everyone,

Actually Rad Racer in Japan was called “Highway Star” and it sure did work with the 3-D glasses!!! 🙂 The 3-D Glasses were packaged as a quote unquote 3-D SYSTEM that plugged into the Fami via an extension port on “in my case” the side of the system as mine’s a SHARP twin Famicom system. They only made about 5 games that were compatible with the 3-D System 2 of which I have that being Highway Star and 3-D Hot Rally. It’s a really cool system and in my mind the Virtual Boy’s Grand pappy lol Yeah in Japan they get the cool LCD glasses and we get the paper with red and blue lenses that will rip the first time you and your brother argue over who’s turn it is to wear them lol Here is a link to a dedicated Famicom sight with pics and more information on the 3-D system and well everything Famicom related. Knock yourselves out guy’s! 😎

There’s also the 3D glasses for Vectrex… 3D Imager!

I have a Vectrex but those are hard to come by, I was planning to build my own some time…

How would you build your own Vectrex? I mean I know that you could but how in terms of size? Micro Mother board and laptop hard drive with old B/W television I guess. I’m really interested in your idea!!! 😎

Oh ok I got you 😛 I have this idea to build a mini arcade cab using atx boards so right away I thought you wanted to build a Vectrex system lol sorry but that is a very awesome idea you got there! When you build it please post some pics 😎

AbsoFreakinLutely GENIUS!!! GO FOR IT DUDE!!!! 😎 😎 😎

Actually I wanted mine even smaller than that! 😛 I wanted to use a 7 inch tv screen for the monitor and then after that the mother board would determine its finished size. I saw that pic a while ago when I was creeping through the web to build my first MAME machine. I’m glad you posted the ling though e5frog that’s a real slick one. Right now I don’t have the money to build my mini cade but it’s cool cause I’m still tweaking my MAME. Sorry if I’m Hijacking this thread ummm you may have it back now lol I was only borrowing it honest 😎

It’s only about 35cm high (13,5 inch) and has an 8″ screen.
