Despite the limitations of the system, homebrew development studio Knights of Bytes has put forward one of the most visually impressive and promising games to ever grace the 8-bit computer in Sam’s Journey.
Long before the likes of the Oculus Rift and even the Virtual Boy, video games were always developed for two dimensional play.
