Trashman was never isometric You can see from the screenshot that it s almost but not quite top down There were other isometric games preceding Knight Lore though NPOV I take issue with this conclusion pulled off a website and presented as a straight fact by Wikipedia While this routine has been found to be optimised in all of Ultimate s games from Knight Lore onwards the optimisation is not present in Sabre Wulf Given Tim Stamper s chronology for Sabre Wulf one would expect otherwise if it had truly been completed after Knight Lore The only fact that s suggested by the variations in the keyboard routine is that the keyboard routine for Sabre Wulf was written before the corresponding keyboard routine for Knight Lore Since it s obvious that a number of Ultimate s games were being written in parallel at any one time there s no reason to extrapolate that the entire Sabre Wulf game was written before Knight Lore I m not sure how to take the bogus conclusion out without necessarily removing the whole of the interesting to a saddo like me factoid
