I wrote an article about the 3 games and just how good they are. Imo, they're extremely underrated. I really wanna play more games similar to it but I can't find much in the way of isometric collectathons(?) at all. Looking for any suggestions. Apologies if this isn't the right spot.

"The source code to yet another classic video game has just been released online, thanks to a combined effort between 3DO fans and the original developers.

This time, the game in question is Krisalis Software's 1995 3DO port of Star Fighter — a 3D shoot-em-up that was originally released for the Acorn Archimedes in 1994. This is a game that saw players take control of a futuristic fighter ship to complete various objective-based missions and remarkably featured the ability to fly outside of a planet's atmosphere into space as well as terraform the environment by firing repeatedly at the same area of land..."
