The Victormaxx StuntMaster, often advertised as the Virtual Reality StuntMaster, is a Sega Mega Drive and SNES-compatible head-mounted display developed and published by Victormaxx. Marketed as a virtual reality headset, the StuntMaster is instead simply a head-mounted display with basic stereoscopic effects. Released exclusively in the United States in August 1993, the headset is notable for including an instruction manual and supporting documentation written in the first person (as if the unit is speaking to the user), even going as far as to include a fictional résumé for the device.

As the StuntMaster connects to Sega Mega Drive hardware using the model 1's video connector, it is unable to operate with later model Mega Drive hardware (which had a different video connector). No games were designed to take advantage of any of the headset's possible functionality. Additionally, the headset has gained a modern reputation as being difficult to set up, heavy and uncomfortable to wear, and providing a poor display of the games being played.
