Back to Games Main Page



Many titles use standard VGA (X-modes) for stereo, which is bad since VESA modes are much easier to handle, especially when it comes to refresh rate.

IMPORTANT: Until the Woobo main-page gets active again you have to use this Woobo-Eng link!

The dates indicate the initial release, not the availability of the stereo version.

"all versions" means: everything goes - demo, shareware, retail, special, bundle, OEM, whatever...

It's hopeless to assume that the sequel to a game which supported stereo will have this feature too. The stereo support for Nascar 2 and Terminal Velocity 2 (Hellbender) was dropped.

You'll find the patches in the table above.
