Lemmings went 3d. It's not the best way to play this classic game due to the clunky controls and camera, but it's still fun once you get past that. The controls just give lemmings 3d an extra difficulty.

Oh god this. Either my PC couldn't run it very well, or the demo just sucked because I didn't think the concept worked in 3D. Killed off the franchise really.

Another 3D transition was the Another World series. First there was Another World, then in the same style of graphics, Flashback and then the sequel in full 3D, Fade to Black which had awful controls and ran very slowly for me. I'm sure my machine matched the specs at the time.

I loved fade to black. It was hard as shit, and I sucked at it. I think I just liked the graphics and fluid esso of the animations.
