Hey Everyone, I've been searching for older games that are 3D polygon based. Identical to the ones in the screenshots below. so far It's been challenging and have only been able to come up with a few.I'd thought of asking this community for help in finding a list of games for research purposes. . Some systems that made them include: Arcade Systems Acorn Achimedes, Electron Atari Amiga DOS Commodore MSX, NEC, Sega and Many more.. Please note that the games must be fully 3D, I'm not trying to find the more common raster graphic games. Does anyone have a reference, or complete list of game titles that feature this type of graphics shown above ? Many Thanks, -Someguy1
Looks like you are looking for 3d games from the late 80s to mid 90s that use no texture mapping. I don't know of a list per se, but I was thinking about this category of games recently and here are some I can think of from the top of my head: Atari arcade games: -Hard Drivin' -Race Drivin -Stun Runner -I Robot -Steel Talons Atari Jaguar games: -Checkered Flag (Jaguar) -Cybermorph (Jaguar) -Battle Morph (Jaguar CD) -Tempest 2000 (Jaguar) -Battlesphere -club drive Sega model 1 arcade games (many ported to various consoles): -Virtua Racing -Virtua Fighter -Star Wars Arcade -Wing War -Shadow Squadron (Sega 32x) PC/Dos games: -Tie Fighter (pc) -X Wing (pc) -Stunts/otherwise known as 4D Sports Driving (PC) -Stunt Car Racer (Amiga and other early computers) -Alpha Waves / Continuum -Darker -Starglider -Corncob 3D -Aces of the Pacific -Aces over Europe -Red Baron -Test Drive 3 -Vette SNES games: -Starfox -Starfox 2 (beta) -any other 3D games using the super FX chip A lot of these are vehicle sims, either cars planes or space ships. Searching those genres on early 90s hardware such as amiga, snes, pc-DOS etc should probably give you dozens more if this is what you are looking for.
Well, if you are including wireframe games, there's Aviator on the BBC B and Elite. Never expected to see !Lander again, been years since I've played that. How about this little corker on the ZX81? FPS in 16KB of RAM and a Z80@3MHz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmug1nQmd4U
What about Namco System 21? Air Combat Driver's Eyes Solvalou Starblade Winning Run http://system16.com/hardware.php?id=536
Anyone have some more ideas for early untextured 3d dos games? I'd like to check some out, and dos ones would be the easiest to get working.
If you guys like skyroads, you will want to check out Tasty Static (modern remake/tribute to skyroads). It is really well done and free.
Alpha Waves / Continuum - Early 3D game - polygon based 3D game. Produced using a 486 DOS system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF_a6qMeWP8 Yea, I'd like to know more about these type of games too. Rez for Dreamcast is a newer type of 3D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GFVgfoWwyk These are great suggestions everyone, keep em' coming !
commodore amiga sandbox called HUNTER from Activision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3KNeckjgfs fm.towns computers ports of pc and amiga - ocean/imagineer - f29 retaliator... psygnosis infestation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EgHxWITHHw
Zeewolf and Zeewolf 2 on Amiga, some kind of Desert Strike 3D. Pretty limited render fov but amazing games.
Delta V - you could iirc turn off the textures completely to make it run on less powerful machines. Starglider and Starglider 2 on the Amiga and Atari ST also come to mind. Especially Starglider 1 was cool, the Amiga and ST machines were on the same floppy disk and shared a common highscore list! A lot of flightsims and space sims were also 3D stuff: TFX, Inferno, Epic, the Microprose sims (F15 Eagle I,II,III, F19 Stealth Fighter etc), Gunship and Gunship 2000, LHX Attack Chopper... Interestingly the original SU 27 Flanker from SSI was also pure 3D without textures. An overlooked, though textured, gem was also Extreme Assault from Blue Byte - especially great in its 3DFX version. On Amiga there was also a 3D Construction Kit, which spawned a lot of dungeon-like games etc. And don't forget S.T.U.N.T.S (4D Sports Stunt Driving)
