Games that feature an ISOMETRIC format

in Gamer's Gauntlet
OK, I copied a recent thread asking about a parallax perspective (cool topic!)



Similarly enough, isometric games are very unique and there are not that many unless you want to count the ZX-Spectrum, which has 100's in that vein. Let's talk about/make a list of games for the home consoles that have an isometric format.



I will start with my favorite series:



NES - Solstice

SNES - Equinox

Gameboy - Altered Space



Also, a few others I can think of...



NES - The Immortal

NES - Marble Madness

NES - Snake Rattle & Roll

SNES - Spindizzy Worlds

Atari - Congo Bongo

Atari - Crystal Castles

Atari - Zaxxon

    Am I the only one who really love Equinox? I've had fond memories of that game growing up and my first time I actually starting swearing at a game.
