* First-person SSI/[=DreamForge=] games: ''Dungeon Hack'', ''Menzoberranzan'', ''VideoGame/RavenloftStrahdsPossession'' and ''VideoGame/RavenloftStoneProphet''. At least the latter 3 actually use a "flat 3D" engine like ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'', but do have a discrete movement mode, that ties players to a grid and limits turning to 4 cardinal direction — to bring the games closer to the familiar ''VideoGame/EyeOfTheBeholder''.

* Particularly advanced examples were the early [=CyberFlix=] [=DreamFactory=] games, like ''Lunicus'' and ''Jump Raven''. They looked like flat-shaded 3D, but were in fact prerendered images and animations turned into 2D vector art. This allowed the appearance of realtime travel and rotation through 3D environments.
