I had the (dis)pleasure of using these as a kid. Gave me a wicked headache.
But awesome writeup! Reading how they worked I finally understand why I got the headache :)

- allenu 3y agoDid you ever try plying them without the glasses? Now that’s a headache! I had a Master System as a kid and was disappointed when I purchased Maze Hunter 3D and brought it home only to find I could not play it without the glasses. No wonder they were discounted. However, I did read in a book that Space Harrier 3D had an Easter egg that allowed you to disable the 3D feature, but you had to get on the high score screen to execute the code. I ended up buying that at a discount. I got quite good at getting through the first level of the game without the 3D glasses.

- cholmon 3y agoI had a Master System as well, but my glasses broke early on in my ownership, so I played Maze Hunter, Blade Eagle, and Missile Defnce without them. Eventually, I got accustomed to the odd look of everything being slightly doubled. When I finally got a new pair of glasses that worked, the 3D gameplay felt so odd that I preferred playing without them.
