An active shutter 3D system compatible with 6 LD-ROM games: ''3D Museum'', ''Vajra 2'', ''Virtual Cameraman 2'', ''3D Virtual Australia'', ''Dr. Paolo no Totteoki Video'', ''Goku''. Up to 2 goggles can be connected to a console with the 3D Goggles Adaptor (ADP-1) sold separately. The official adaptor/goggles are very rare, but any 3rd-party CRT-based LCD shutter controller can be used instead, as can any pair of LCD shutter 3D glasses that connect via 3.5mm jack (this includes the [[Sega Master System]] and [[Famicom]] 3D glasses). | An active shutter 3D system compatible with 6 LD-ROM games: ''3D Museum'', ''Vajra 2'', ''Virtual Cameraman 2'', ''3D Virtual Australia'', ''Dr. Paolo no Totteoki Video'', ''Goku''.
