I’ve been working on a series for quite some time about the history of 3D in gaming. How it became a fad and fizzled away.

I didn’t know what this was so I looked it up.
This video covers was stereoscopic 3D in video games.
So like games that used an effect to make it seem like the visuals were appearing out from the screen utilizing stereoscopic effects
Did this use some type of 3D effect to this degree?
Oh, no. It wasn’t a camera trick; projectiles actually fly in 3D and can miss, units actually move up real hills and mountains and down onto lakebeds (as opposed to fake RA1, RA2, and Tiberian Sun ones), etc. Never mind, then!
That is an interesting topic…the history of 2D to 3D gaming…
This Would be incredibly extensive though and Scott the Woz has definitely covered this subject in much detail
