List of stereoscopic video games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stereoscopic video game, is a game which uses technology to create the illusion of depth in an image, often by using special glasses worn by the viewer. Not to be confused with video games that use 3D computer graphics, which are featured only on a screen, and do not actually give the illusion of depth beyond the screen.
