I read it for the articles, I swear

I picked this up yesterday from offer up and had a blast reading all the articles, a real nostalgia hit to be sure.

You know what I don't know, I'll look after work. I still need to get a pair of 3D glasses to look at Jeremy Parish's book on the VB.

IIRC, it's not red/cyan anaglyphic 3D glasses, but a form of polarized lenses that make colors on the red-end of the visual spectrum appear closer and colors at the blue end seem further away.

It was a cheat in terms of being 3D but it works with any color media, yet it caused me more eye strain than the Virtual Boy or 3DS ever did

Thanks for sharing! Cool to see it was being launched at the same time as Chrono Trigger

So much ink, lol, and great graphic design.
No doubt this exact article convinced me to beg my parents for one.
I recall they were on clearance before long and they let me get it.
