Segaiden #47: Sega 3-D Glasses & Missile Defense 3-D
🕑 Added 2023-04-19 11:16:55 +0000 UTCFirst of all, let me apologize if this episode seems a little disjointed. Its production bordered on "nightmarish." I wrote it while laboring under a bit of COVID brain fog; I recorded it with defective equipment that caused certain portions of the voiceover to drop out (which I realized only after I went out of town for the weekend and attempted to put the video together with no recording gear at hand); I forgot to transfer product photography from my camera's SD card, which I discovered after I left town for another weekend; and I realized my brain fog caused me to repeatedly refer to the Sega 3-D Glasses as the Sega 3-D System (conflating it with the pretty-much-identical Famicom 3-D System) and to anaglyphic 3D as anisotropic 3D. Whew.
Anyway, it took about three weeks to get this thing into working order, but here you go. A 14-minute video about a single three-minute game. As one does. Well, as I do, anyway.
For further reading, I recommend Nicole Express's breakdown of the 3-D Glasses, which she coincidentally posted just a few days ago... but given the difference in our interests and perspectives in classic games, her write-up is almost entirely different from mine. The important thing is that my technical info didn't contradict any of the facts she laid out, so I didn't have to rewrite/rerecord this damn voiceover yet again.
And one last note: After a lot of mishaps and confusion resulting from a shipping system changeover, the NES Works books from last fall are finally shipping to eligible patrons. Thank you for your patience, and I'm very sorry for the delay, which won't happen again... I've already set up shipping info for this summer's Segaiden book, so those will be timely arrivals.

I don't have any real connection to the SMS (though I have picked one up since this series started), but I DO have a fondness for the 3-D Glasses. They're sported by some of Tim Thomerson's goons in one of my all-time favorite films, Albert Pyun's Nemesis.
