Phil,
I still have a Canopus Total 3D with LCD Stereoscopic Glasses. It's a rendition
card which I still have installed in my lesser PC as the primary 2D card working
with a Monster 3DII voodoo2 card.
I can't agree with you more on the realistic 3D effect the Total 3D and LCD
glasses gave me with the 2 games that came with the package (Descent II and
Whiplash). As you indicated, both games came patched for the LCD Stereoscopic
glasses. Descent II was just plain scary (in a good way), and Whiplash was a
blast! Unfortunately, my PC at the time didn't have the horsepower to run the
games as well as I would have liked, and Nascar Racing took me away from the two
titles. Your post has given me a renewed interest in trying out the glasses
again... I just hope I can find them!
Anyone know of any other titles (mainly racing) that supports/supported
Rendition and the LCD Sterioscopic glasses?
