     Those are two very good ones. I especially remember being surprised at
the smoothness and speed of Ballblazer. Another good 3-D action game is The
Eidolon.

     Then, you have adventures which present something like 3-D views.
Alternate Reality: The Dungeon does a very nice job in plain hires,
especially since you can see monsters approaching in real time. So do several
of the SSI AD&D adventures and Dark Heart of Uukrul. Bard's Tale's 3-D is
pretty good, too.

     In double-hires, Might and Magic II, WindWalker, and Dragon Wars have
good 3-D displays.
