Boisy,
 
I do remember something about that... however, not having the money back then for such things I did not own it...

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.
