 Ma> Dear Nightfox, I come across another gaming related message from you...
 Ma> That game you play, Overload, succesor to the original Descent, you know
 Ma> Descent had VR tech in it, *even back in that day* back in 1994!! that
 Ma> game was a mind blow out!!

Yes, I remember.  There used to be a computer software store in my area that had a demo station with Descent that was configured with a pair of 3D goggles, around 1995 or so.  I thought that was really cool, and I wondered why 3D goggles didn't take off until VR headsets started being released in recent years.

 Ma> Overload in VR.

When Overload runs, it prompts me whether I want to run it in 2D mode for my monitor or use a VR headset, so it seems that's built-in, not a mod.  I'll have to look into 144Hz support for it though.
