Zaxxon in isometric pseudo-3D with SegaScope glasses. The Sega classic takes on a new dimension... literally. Without the glasses, it's a bland isometric shooter. A curiosity above all.

Is Zaxxon 3-D still worth playing in 2026?

An anaglyph variant of Sega's classic, Zaxxon 3-D uses the Master System's 3D glasses to add depth to this isometric shooter, where the ship slaloms between obstacles and fires at enemy defences. The stereoscopic effect aims to strengthen the perception of heights, a real asset in a game built on altitude management, even if it tires the eyes and stays uneven. For someone curious about retro 3D experiments, a Sega accessory fan or a collector, the title keeps a niche interest and a real technical singularity.
