Hi guys, got a question, I remember back in the day that you could get 3D monitors for a Windows 98 computer that had the right hardware to display 3D. I'm looking to upgrade my Win 98 Retro gaming rig to do 3D. What I need help with is finding what retro hardware I need.

Can you guys please help? Thanks!

You mean some specialist monitor, or do you mean using shutter glasses or anaglyph glasses on suitably displayed 3d games?

I'm talking about how back in the day for Win 98 computers, there were ways to do 3D like how today we have Nvidia 3D Vision or AMD HD3D.

Unless I am gravely mistaken, back then the closest thing you could get was "VR" goggles/headsets. Support for them was limited to specific games.

Metabyte made the Wickedvision glasses. Is that what you mean?

Any of the early 3D shutter glasses are getting hard to find now.
