Tetris (http://hidden-3d.com/games_stereogram_tetris.php)
Ping-pong (http://www.rebas.se/creative/spong.shtml)
Snake (http://hidden-3d.com/games_stereogram_python.php)
Maze (http://www.parks.lv/home/ojarsk/MEM.htm)

Most of you already know sterograms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereogram) like these (http://hidden-3d.com/index.php?id=gallery&pk=163&gallery=animals) or these (http://images.google.com/images?q=magic+eye&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&um=1&imgsz=).

And some probably know about animated stereograms of this type (http://www.hidden-3d.com/index.php?id=ani_gallery&pk=96) or this type (http://www.necromancers.ru/mov/statue.zip).

There's even programs to make your own stereograms, single image or animated. This one (http://hidden-3d.com/games_stereogram_paint.php) online where your draw with your mouse then click render, or just write something (http://hidden-3d.com/index.php?id=msg_gen), and more complex ones (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=stereogram+software&aq=3&oq=stereogram&aqi=g10) for animations (http://www.ixtlan.ru/prod.php).

But have you ever played a stereogram video game like Tetris (http://hidden-3d.com/games_stereogram_tetris.php), or ping-pong (http://www.rebas.se/creative/spong.shtml), or Snake (http://hidden-3d.com/games_stereogram_python.php) or a maze (http://www.parks.lv/home/ojarsk/MEM.htm)?

The original idea (http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=267042&whichpage=1) for a Magic Eye Tetris was by me (cfec) back in 2004. And that guy (http://www.lutanho.net/) coded it after I emailed him with the idea. This (http://www.lutanho.net/play/magiceyetetris.html) is the original stereogram Tetris page where I'm not credited, big surprise.

I found out later that I was not the first to have the idea for a stereogram game, again not surprisingly. At the same time I was trying to find a coder for my idea, there was already someone working on a much more complex stereogram game (http://www.leweyg.com/download/SIRD/q2/index.html). I have never played his stereogram Quake II but that must be quite an experience! I would have to learn how to play normal Quake II first...

Have fun.

I would really like to know how it is for you playing a stereogram video game. We can even have a friendly competition for the best score.
