I wouldn't have believed my eyes if I had seen that back in the day. The interesting thing is that the capability was there all along.

Marble Madness was a thing at the time. [1] There's a ZX Spectrum port, that's awful, but it maintained the same 3d goodness. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zByAew6AKJ8

Did you ever play Nebulus? The ZX Spectrum version looks as good as the C64 version, just less colors. Nebulus is from 1988.
