Tomy released 7 different games in their 3D games series: Jungle Fighter (Model# ?), Planet Zeon (Model# TKY-7615), Shark Attack (Model# TKY-7621), Sherman Attack (Model# ?), Sky Attack (Model# TKY-7616), Sky Duel (Model# ?), Skyfighters (Model# ?), and Thundering Turbo (Model# TKY-7617). All of them look pretty similar, kind of like binoculars, just different colors and labels, and they use external light sources for display visibility. Sherman Attack and Skyfighters is in true stereo sound (which is pretty cool!).

Sherman Attack 3D, another Stereo Sound game. May have only been
released in Japan (I believe this is harder to find than Jungle Fighter):

Sherman Attack Display:

Jungle Fighter (This may be a Japanese only release, seems to be the rarest of the series):
