Oh, and Blazing Lazers has something over all the other games: Chromadepth 3D.
Okay, that was neat. I actually dug out some 3-d glasses and tried this. It makes the game a little harder, but some of the effects look pretty cool.
It has to be
specifically Chromadepth 3D glasses (usually used for art shows, company promotions (posters and images), etc). Can't be anaglyph (red/blue) or polarized 3D glasses like RealD. Chromadepth only gives 3D depth based on color spectrum, which is why it's pretty much useless for movies and such. Blue is the farthest back depth, green is the middle depth, red is the closest depth to the viewer. Every thing else falls in between. If the depth of the image itself doesn't correspond with the spectrum depth, you get weird depth artifacts or just no depth at all. Dark blues (as in pure blues) usually give the best depth perception against pure reds and greens.
On Blazing Lazers, (stage
most of the scrolling static or such bubbles are dark blue. Red and green bubbles animate or scale/scroll over the blue ones. Giving it depth.
In 1941 for stage 1 and 2, the waster is dark blue giving a 3D depth layer for it. The second level it's even more pronounced since it's in a 'channel'. And the boat boss really looks like it's sticking out of the water.
Legendary Axe 1, the first level; the pure blue rocks have a far depth layer. But not much else.
Valis I first stage, the blue waving sky looks really cool as it appears to be farther back from everything else.
Ninja Spirit: First stage far scrolling layer. It's more subtle though.
Rastan Saga II: The first stage. For some reason all the foreground blocks appear to stick out closer to the viewer. Not sure why.
Veigues Tactical Gladiator: Has it on some spots. The first level in the near building, inside the windows, the blue rumble has depth. Some later levels have weird subtle depth to them.
Splatterhouse: Just the opening scene (shot) with house and the forest.
Altered Beast: Just the title screen
Syphia: The title screen and the later water level.
Sinistron: First level, but more subtle.
Aero Blasters: Second level. Pretty pronounced.
Bravoman: Second level (underwater shooter level).
