Line 1: {{trope}} {{page should be category}} See [[:Category:Faux First-Person 3D]] for the trope description. ~~[[File:dungeonmaster2 1208.png\|link=Dungeon Master (video game)\|right]]~~ ~~A common technical solution in early [[Adventure Game]]s and [[Role Playing Games]] from the late 1980s and the early 1990s, before [[Polygonal Graphics]] were advanced enough to do this properly.~~ As the player characters wander through a dungeon or walk along the city streets, the player sees the corridors in a first-person perspective. However, the view isn't truly rendered in 3D. Rather, it is composed of multiple algorithmically assembled 2D building blocks; to render the view, the game appropriately arranges these images on top of pictures that depict the floor and ceiling. Sometimes, enemies and items present are overlaid as sprites. Early on, the walls were black-and-white wireframe, or filled with a uniform color. This differs from games where each individual view is basically a single image, like the first ''[[Myst]]'', or games that have each node as a single panorama, like the third ''Myst'' or Google Maps Street View. ~~In games that use this, the player moves from cubic node to cubic node of an [[Invisible Grid]]. All walls are orthogonal while all ceilings and floors are the same level.~~ ~~Compare [[First-Person Shooter]].~~ {{examples}} * ''[[The Bard's Tale Trilogy\|The Bard's Tale]]'' (1985) Line 44 ⟶ 35: * The first ''[[Toy Story (franchise)\|Toy Story]]'' game for the Sega Genesis and SNES had a level inside the Claw Machine (called "REALLY Inside the Claw Machine") which was basically this. The only 3D elements were the Little Green Men, which you had to rescue, and Woody's arms. * Most [[Driving Game]]s until the 32-bit era. Many were simply an endlessly repeating grey strip with a car sprite on it, surrounded by layered 2D buildings/cliffs/bridges/whatever. * ''[[The Black Onyx]]'' * ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin'' * [[Legend of Grimrock]]: Is a modern revival of this fashion of gameplay, since few exist.
