After noticing the number of news articles which claimed that X-Wing was innovative in its use of 3d polygon graphics I decided it was a good excuse to look back in time at some earlier examples of games which used this. I dig out the earliest titles I could find, a prototype which was remade by fans and 3 of my favourite 16bit titles.
