I can't get my PIII so slow to get starwars working correct...need to power on my XT 😀

starglider?

Wireframe: Elite, Top Gun, some 8086 flight simulators...

Solid (or shaded) polygons: 4D Stunts, X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Epic, most DOS flight simulators, games made with 3D Construction Kit engine (i.e. Total Eclipse)...

EDIT: My bad, during those years I was playing with my ZX Spectrum. Some games I stated as wireframe (flight simulators), had solid polygons on 16 bit computers. So I guess that the only games using wireframe were earlier 8086 games, and the bulk of DOS flight simulators had polygons.

Solid/shaded polygons: Deathtrack, Stellar 7, and Nova 9 from Dynamix

The original PC version of elite had the choice of either wire frame or solid graphics depending on CPU speed.

There were loads of Amiga games that used flat shading: Damocles, Midwinter, Carrier Command, Starglider 2, Stunt Car Racer, Powerdrome, Team Suzuki, Grand Prix and many flight simulators.

The 4- D sports series comes to mind on PC. Starblade by Namco, Virtua Racing by Sega and Hard Drivin' by Atari are notable Arcade offerings amongst others.

There were many games before hardware 3D accelerators became a thing.

Atari's Red Baron (a 1980 arcade title) is another such game very much in the spirit of Battlezone. Jeff Vavasour's page has a list of emulation collections with many of the Atari titles listed above:

You may find some additional titles along these lines by researching the other Atari games listed in these emulation collections.

<a list of every 3d video game prior to 1992>

you can find vector games on MameUI64

Listed updated.

I guess I should have stated this, but when I said 3d Wireframe and vector and was meaning non textured games like battlezone. what water ever.

If we're including arcade games then there's a lot of those. Probably searchable on KLOV (or whatever they call it now).

its easy just search it on mameui64 database. They all described

Novel NetWars.
Can be switched to wireframe mode for slower computers (i.e. 286). Remember playing it at school on 386SX.

Spectre... I believe that would be classified as solid polygon...

I discovered this forum a while back, it might be of use to you. Specialized in Arcade vector games and Vectrex vector games.

This is their complete vector arcade game list, there's only one inaccuracy I know about (and I've commented in the thread):

add spectre to your list:

I wasted SO many hours playing it on my dad's mac.

Edit: also you had the choice about the filled shapes or wireframe.
