That's pretty good. There was another early 2.5D game that ran on my IBM PC that I played in around 1994 that this reminds me of. I'll go search for it now

Back, that was fast https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catacomb_Abyss

I think the framerate was closer to like 5fps or so.

I was under the impression that this series running on an 8088 was a unique property but Wikipedia fails to mention it. I was a kid then so let's just presume I was wrong

Catacomb Abyss was also a John Romero and John Carmack game.
