I would appreciate it if you could send that to me.

Flight Simulator II!  Duh!  That was definitely in the 3D class of  
games.  Actually so was Koronis Rift.  I guess that whole class of  
games for the CoCo 3 could be considered as 3D in perspective.

Speaking of projected 3D, wasn't there an actual 3D game that  
required stereoscopic glasses to see?  I think Steve Bjork had  
something to do with it.
