Made for: Sega Master System

Release Date RRP Code

The 3-D Glasses were a Sega Master System peripheral which creates the illusion of three-dimensional graphics in certain video games. The 3-D Glasses use a shutter system to close the left and right lens rapidly to create a 3D effect. The Master System glasses can only be used in the original Master System, since it hooks up directly to the card port not found in the Master System II. Such a system allows 3-D graphics in full color. A disadvantage is that it halves the effective frame-rate, which some users can perceive as flicker. It also tends not to work with non-CRT-based televisions.

The Glasses were released in the UK in October 1987 at a price of £49.95, with the North American release in the same year. The 3-D Glasses were also released in Japan in January 1988 and both Brazil and South Korea in 1989.
