* Most pre-''{{Quake}}'' [[FirstPersonShooter FPSs]] had an appearance consistant with this trope, but technically do not qualify since their environments did not use polygon meshes to create walls. They used various methods to create pseudo-3D backgrounds, with enemies, powerups and decorations being scaled sprites. ''Doom'', for example, used a texture fill method similar to 3D extrude functions to give a totally flat map an illusion of height, though the engine had no meaningful Z axis and did not use polygon meshes. Some later examples used voxels (I.E.: ''ShadowWarrior'') or polygons (I.E.: ''[[DarkForcesSaga Dark Forces]]'') for some objects as well.

* ''Quake'' was the first traditional FirstPersonShooter to be in full 3D, and showcased many concepts that were impossible in the pseudo-3D engines that had gone before; rooms above rooms, spiral staircases, enemies leaping, swimming and so on. It still mixed in sprites for some explosive effects, which were always scaled and facing the camera. This is replicated in only some later games, although {{Unreal}} used both a polygon and a sprite-style explosion the expansion pack. Unusually, some of these earlier games had 3D fire effects in torches and similar; as the general level of detail in games climbed, however, it became clear that equally convincing 3D fire would not be feasible.
