Was that when Nintendo couldn't be outdone by Atari and decided to bring out that stupid monochrome 3D game machine? The one where you couldn't wear the glasses on your head and it had to stay on the table? "LS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Jn7le.6170$IC6.2621@attbi_s72...

No, these were just for the Computers. They plugged into the Atari ST line of systems. The games had the extra colors and etc so when you put on the glasses it came out of the monitor at you. They worked in conjunction with the monitor with the way the lcd would open in just in sequence with the color flashes on the display.

Ah yes. The Tramiels decided not to bring it out because people would be disoriented and they were subject to a lawsuit if the person wearing the glasses fell. "LS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MJDle.10837$Is4.818@attbi_s21...

They sold them for years, but unfortunately the Tramiels couldn't market themselves out of a wet paper bag. They ruined a company that like to build different things with good possibilities. They also turned down this guy call Gates who was looking for a new OS to build off of. :) hmmm.. LS "me" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:DlEle.2040$[email hidden]...
