The Official Pioneer LaserActive Player thread-

[xelement5x]

True, some games are a lot cheaper to find than others.  But until the LaserActive is emulated I think some games are going to be a lot pricier than others.  JP games seem to be cheaper than US ones just in general since a lot more JP copies were printed compared to the US games  .

The majority of US games are $80 or less.  Considering the scarcity and format, I actually think the prices aren't bad.  Only 4 games really go into the "pricey" category, Road Prosecutor, Blue Chicago Blues, Don Quixote, and 3d Museum.  The bad news is 3 of those games are pretty damn good!

The original retail price of these games was what $125 each I think?  So most games are still under their retail cost.

3D Museum aint that bad....

3D Museum is well worth the price of admission for the JP version, if you have the 3D Goggles.  The tech is actually pretty damn cool and the 3D is really well done for the time.  There is a mode where you essentially watch 3D screen savers, but it is well worth looking at a time or two.

The U.S. game is going to cost 3 times the amount, to which I cannot recommend unless you are a die hard.

I dug up some of my old EGMs from the 90s the other day and have been re-reading a lot of LA articles. I remember playing the system at HH Gregg bitd and have always held a fascination with the behemoth. I might turn around and actually get one some day. My fiance will probably kill me though lol

Just bribe her with old laserdisc movies. That's what I did, although she still wants Songs of the South... I'm not sure if I will drop the cash for that movie anytime soon. Maybe if I get a bonus this year.

That's a start.

3D Museum is a rather amusing little disc.   No one should ever buy an LA for 3D Museum, but everyone with an LA should have 3D Museum.

I cheated and hooked up my master system to rum 3d goggles while I played 3D museum.

I do this when I go out to a movie theatre. I always ask for a seat near an electrical receptacle; most folks are understanding.

One time the guy next to me asked if he could play a game...sadly, I had to inform him that I didn't bring a CRT that day.

I got a pair of famicom 3d glasses for $25 off ebay a while back. I believe those should work the same as the expensive official LA glasses and plug in with the same 3.5mm jack.

I actually use the Famicom 3D glasses whenever I play 3D things on any of my old systems.  They are the best designed and most comfortable of all 3D glasses of that era.

With that said, you still need the ADP-1 adapter to use these 3D glasses on a Laseractive.  I am the biggest moron when it comes to electronic stuff like this, but I do not believe you can just hook the Famicom glasses directly to the system in any way.

[SuperDeadite]

Yeah you need the Adapter for connection.   However you can also just turn on a 3d famicom or mastersystem game with the googles plugged in there and simply look at the LA games.   It will work fine.

You had some other brand 3D glasses (maybe Asus)? where did you get those?

[jeffhlewis]

I have a pair of these and they work fantastic on the SMS:
