* For all its popularity, many people assume that ''[[Pokémon]]'' is the first [[Mons]] collection/raising game; those people forget that ''[[Shin Megami Tensei|Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei]]'' was released in the ''eighties''.

But the original ''GTA'' games were isometric, and ''GTA 3'' closely resembled, and has a continuing rivalry with, a game called ''[[Driver]]'' released two years prior. And then there's ''Hunter'', which was released on the [[Amiga]] by [[Activision]] in ''1991''.
