There was a company in the mid-late 1990's called Virtuality that made 3d VR games using Amigas.

There was another effort, something called X-Specs shutterglasses, also in the 1990s somewhere. I think I still have a set of that in a box somewhere in storage. I can't find anythign abotu the spaceship battle game that I remember for it. Google comes back with something called Space Spuds, but I don't recognize that game. What I remember was more of a 3d flight-simulator, and 2-players could play in a dogfight sort of game in a 3d arena, but I can't find anything about that searching today.

I saw both of these when I was in college, in mid-1990s.


I remember wishing for the iGlasses, but never did see them in person myself. I've seen them on Ebay a couple times, but haven't had money for the working ones that turn up.
