Any exa,plesiosaurs / templates / ideas how to do these

I know the isometric is a long shot, but it looks so cool!
Ever since Zaxxon, or later, viewpoint

    Hi Franz, I lurve Isometric! I'm pretty much certain that that's possible in GS as it is?

    I saw somewhere, a couple of weeks ago, that 3D will be on the cards at some far-flung date; I'm sure this was from the horse's mouth: a Gendai guy being interviewed. (I'm not calling anyone who works at Gendai a horse, you understand... ;-)

    What's Polar, I'm wondering? never heard of that one!

    Polar is a circular arrangement, I think that's what yp call it. Like gyrus or tempest? I once did a game using it on visual basic

    You could easily do it here using trig

    Zaxxon's one of my favourite games! Love it!

    Isometric viewpoints could also be used to make these kinds of games:

    Classics, each one! And there are plenty more like that!

    QS :D
