@leither_mark I was always amused by the "Patent Pending" on the cover referring to SoftSolid 3D because I think it never materialised. The only game I saw released later with the same engine was Sandy White's own "Zombie Zombie". More impressed later by his 3D engine in "I, of the Mask".

@tom_forsyth "Ant Attack" (1983) on the Spectrum used (+patented apparently) "Softsolid 3D". Can't see obvs reference to the word 'engine' tho..

Sandy designed a process he called SoftSolid 3D, and Ant Attack might be the 1st game to feature an explorable 3D world. Here's the map

me, reapplying my Old Spice SWEAT DEFENSE softsolid anti-perspirant: grunge ☄

Well once again I'm forced to find another provider for my deodorant. #OldSpice apparently dropped #Softsolid. When companies shaft me I DROP them and find another brand. So the search begins.

Para Ant Attack, Sandy White inventó el motor 3D Softsolid. Con los años, Sandy se lamentó de que la empresa Incentive lo hubiese copiado usando ingeniería inversa para desarrollar su técnica Freescape. #zxspectrum

@Funkztadelic @YLaylee Head over Heels, great game, but a pretty late isometric game (1987) What about Quicksilva's 'Softsolid 3D' games Ant Attack and Zombie Zombie? Or the Ultimate's 'Filmation' games Knight Lore, Alien 8, Gunfright, Nightshade? Or even Ocean's Batman? Never play any of those?

@DuncanelTorpe Avisaban que la patente del Softsolid 3D estaba pendiente. Como diciendo "no nos lo copiéis que lo estamos patentando, eh". Creo que nadie más lo usó menos ellos en Zombie Zombie. No sé si Ultimate patentó su Filmation pero no puedes prohibir juegos en perspectiva isométrica! 😆

Few things are as satisfying as preparing sketches for Maria to use on her take on the Antescher map. Gotta love this Softsolid 3D incomprehensibly ancient walled city.

@ariunq мэдээний сэтгүүлч шүү дээ ойлго.

@willbrooker @MarkRJones1970 Aesthetically maybe, technically I’m not so sure. Softsolid ran at such a fair old lick, it can’t have been doing the calculations Freescape had to do. I wonder how really 3D softsolid actually was then. 🤔
