True Tom.
Shades etc are 3D in the way that original Doom and wolfenstein 3D
were, ---- ie, 2D areas from a first person perspective.
By the same tocan though, we thus far have only one true side
scroller, ----- and that is Mota.
If we substitute the terms first person and side scroller not giving any
mention to 2D or 3d dimentions though (which are rather slippery), it is
true we have more fp games than side scrollers thus far, --- as I said.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
I beg to differ with you about Shades of Doom, Sarah, etc being 3d.
Technically they are not 3d. Although they are FPS games they have 3d
audio systems, but the movement still is restricted to an x/y axis. None
of the games have an x, y, and z axis of movement making them only 2d in
nature. If you want to count how many true 3d games we have the answer is
0. We don't have any, because true 3d movement and game worlds have never
been done yet by any developer for the VI gaming community. That is one
reason I am so excited to actually do it once the Genesis engine is
created. No one besides me has been willing to step forward and take this
next step in audio game development.

Thus far, the only serious side scroller we've got with full 2D vertical
movement is Mota.
Q9 Tarzan jr and superliam are fun games, ---- but they aren't precisely
on a level with side scrollers even of the late 1980's such as mega man
or mario brothers.
3D games we have shades of doom, audio quake, terraformers, sarah, gma
Tank commander and monkey business, ---- pluss, depending upon your
deffinition treasurehunt and night of parasite (though i'd personally
class those as top down rather than 3D owing to the movement system and
lack of character perspective)..
while i certainly agree adding another to the list would not be a bad
thing, ----- basic arithmetic shows that we certainly don't! have more
side scrollers than 3D games.
beware the Grue!
Dark.
