Actually, there has been a side-view RTS, called Armor Alley. You can probably find it on an abandonware site, it''s fairly old. It''s also not the best game in the world, but it''s a fun time-killer, and probably a good source to steal ideas from.

what about Worms and Worms: Armeggedon? Weren't those strategy games with a side view? maybe they weren't really time.

quote: *shrug* I''m not sure, just seem''s like to me everything has pretty much been done.... and now they are making the same type of game''s except in 3D.

Lot''s of people doing that - but IMO also lots of really great games being made without 3D (Planescape:Torment, Europa Universalis, Kings of Dragon Pass, for example). There are also 3D games that look at entirely new angles for the medium: Homeworld when it came out and (still waiting for) Black & White both broke and will break new ground in terms of gameplay.

I still think there are a lot of unexplored angles for games still out - as well as plenty of improvements that can be made to existing ones.
