Walls

Gauntlet, Arcade, 1985
Just look at those walls. They don’t make them like that anymore. Mainly because it was possible to get stuc🐭k in a room with no way out.

Hero Quest, C64, 1991
The is🅠ometric 3D would look really good if the sha🐽dows were right. Sadly, the room looks inverted. How badly did we need true 3D?

Doom, PC, 1993

BloodRayne, PS2/PC/Xbox, 2002
Almost any last-gen action game would do here, but BloodRa𓂃yne gets a mention, if only because blood wood stick to the🐻 walls.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, PC/360/PS3, 2007
These walls are amazing. Not only do they utilize ‘normal mapping&rs♏quo; to create a false impression of depth, but you can shoot through them too. Break the fourth wall... and the fifth. And the sixth...
