Definitely get Falsion by Konami.

I have Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally.  It's a good game    From my research only the following games use it:

Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally (FDS)
Falsion (FDS)
3D Deep Dungeon (FDS)
3D JJ Tobidase Daisakusen (FDS)
3D JJ Tobidase Daisakusen 2 (Cart)
Cosmic Epsilon (Cart)
Highway Star (Cart)
Attack Animal Gauken (Cart)

Only 8 games.  Strangely there are other Famicom games that support Red+Blue 3D glasses, but they won't work with official 3D system.

Got these with some leftover Christmas Gift Cards. I only had to pay the sales tax.



IGN rated Robocalypse 8.9/10 and I agree. Wicked cool game!

@SuperDeadite: get highway star (aka rad racer). it's probably the one to get with most ease and cheap and it's also one of the best.

@guy. the famicom version uses the usual alternate eye covering trick, with a LCD film in the google to blank the visor. the game itself then alternates between two view pictures, synchronized with the google.
the effect is amazing, but it also halfs the framerate which gives you some headache after a while.

I know. I've never seen this in person ( ) but I do know how it works. I was under the impression that 3D world runner was originally intended for those glasses, but changed in the US to use the red and blue method.

yeah..the red blue method is cheap and more affordable for the western kids. adds like the 3D google would have failed 100x more than it had in japan. and in japan it already had epic failed. only sega did that mistake once

You are correct:  3D World Runner = JJ Tobidase Daisakusen

Hey Tatsujin, I'm not sure if my googles are working correctly.  When I play 3D Hot Rally with them, I get "double-vision" with the background.  Meaning I see 2 buildings when there is only 1.  The foreground looks just fine though...

I've recently concluded my current buying spree (starring the likes of Horror Story, Beyond Shadowgate and Tatsujin- among others) with the purchases of Sylphia (for $135) and a loose japanese Magical Chase   
I now only have to buy Download, Rock-On and Darius Plus to have every vert/horizontal hucard shooter- not counting cross country redundancies and Hudson tournament specials...

[geise]

Have you played that Beyond Shadowgate yet Sin?

Well after waking up this am to find that the post lady left a pink slip for a package she tried to deliver I was really anxious to track her down and get my package....SO I called the Post Office (which is closed on Saturdays) and talked to the supervisor Nate. Nate told me that if I call back at about 5 today he could tell me if she was there. So instead of calling back at 5 I went to the Post Office at 4:20ish and called him back. I told him I was sitting in the parking lot and was gonna wait until the post lady got back from her route. He said that was find and I gave him my number. I sat in that parking lot till 5:40 when she finally showed up. I walked to the gate and yelled out "Do you deliver the reserve apartments?" she exclaims back to me "Yes....Hold on really quick!" In all my excitement I damn near nutted my pants! lol

She told me"Go ahead and drive on around just ignore the BIG DO NOT ENTER SIGN" So I proceeded to drive around to find that she had disappeared. 

About 10 minutes passed by and she finally comes walking out of the Post office with my package in hand! I told her my story and that I had sat in the parking lot for over an hr waiting on her. She told me to come in so I could sign off for it and guided me to the back intrance where all the magic happens! I signed off on the package and gave her a big hug!!!! She told me to have a nice day and be careful out there! hehehe

                                                                                                                                                           

So I got home and unpacked it! Everything was individually bubblewrapped and was in pristene condition! The tenokoe bank works good, L-Dis is a pretty cool game although rather difficult and then some other game of what seems like maybe an RPG or comic type game Im not sure its all in Japanese is complete with spine card! Everything is in minty fresh condition minus a small crack on the back of the tenokoe jewel case.....Easily fixed tho!

I already have pics posted of the Duo from the auction page but if anyone wants I can post up pics of it in my possesion although I dont see the need. 

                                                                                                                                                        



Oh yes and I also recieved my Minty Fresh Ys III game today CIJ!!!!!Not a scratch or smudge on the CD and the book looks like it has never been taken outa the case.
