The one that blew my mind was Payback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wApAbxZY9k

It's GTA1/2 clone with an overhead view of a full 3D world.

I distinctly remember Spider-Man 2 on GBA having a 3D overworld. It was my first introduction to the concept of "low framerate" in a videogame haha. Incredible what people were capable of doing with the hardware back then.

I'm more impressed with the song "Get Low" ending up in an E-rated game.
