StaceyPowers Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 What are some of the earliest isometric games you can remember playing? When I was a kid playing an original Nintendo, the only one I remember encountering was Solstice. But I figure it could not have been the only one of its kind even back then?

Justin11 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 In the past during my early time with video games which started with the gameboy, I played the street fighter, Tetris, contra 4 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The first isometric game I can remember is Racing Destruction Set from 1985 on C64. As for PC it might be little big adventure from 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 It's definitely going to be the one and only Sega's Zaxxon for me. It was the very first one to be released if I remembered correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Q*Bert would be the number one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withywarlock Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Probably Final Fantasy Tactics, which I'd bought more for the name than the style of gameplay. Little did I know how much I'd come to love Strategy Roleplaying Games (SRPG) a decade or so after that one, and how isometric games would play a huge part in deciding what would be one of my all time favourite genres.

I actually never got to come across the game or even the game till right about now that you mentioned it. Let me read up more on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I would be going with Knight Lore (Ultimate, 1984) as my favorite old classic isometric games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final Fantasy games and everything related to it ticks for me in most cases and it's why Final Fantasy Tactics isn't far from my best early isometric games.

The game genre of Final Fantasy is a big sell which the name alone can influence one's gaming decisions. I would definitely believe Final Fantasy Tactics to be linked to Final Fantasy series.

The name of the game was quite similar that it can easily mislead some people into believing that they are two same games from the looks of it.

Kane99 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Does Marble Madness on the NES count? I think it's done in this type of style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's something that's very obvious without any doubt. 18 minutes ago, Kane99 said: Does Marble Madness on the NES count? I think it's done in this type of style.
