Comanche in 1992 was jaw dropping. Seemed to be the first 32-bit game too, as it came with it’s own boot disk.

First 32-bit PC game, perhaps. Acorn users were playing 32 bit games well before 1992 (e.g, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarch in 1987)

Wasn't this also one of the first uses of voxels in a flight sim fighter?
