Spindizzy Worlds, Super Nintendo
Paul Shirley‘s superb isometric puzzle/action game, Spindizzy Worlds, translates well to the Super Nintendo, even though this conversion did not have his blessing.

Spindizzy, Commodore 64
In my mind: one of the best 8-bit games ever made. Spindizzy is part Marble Madness tribute; part completely original game, with you controlling a spinning top-like device, called GERALD, exploring a large, isometric game world that is suspended in space.
Spindizzy, Atari 8-bit
Paul Shirley‘s classic isometric puzzle/adventure game, Spindizzy, originated on the Amstrad CPC, but is also quite excellent on the Atari 800.
Spindizzy Worlds, Atari ST
The Atari ST version of Spindizzy is arguably the best one around.
Spindizzy Worlds, which appeared on Atari ST, Amiga and Super Nintendo in 1990 – is a more compartmentalised reworking of the original Spindizzy, with branching levels and puzzles and gem-collecting in a challenging isometric world. Well, various worlds. All themed in a particular graphical style, and each with its own set of individual problems.
Nightmare in the Dark, Neo Geo
This obscure Neo Geo platform game was released only in arcades (on the Neo Geo Multi Video System) in Japan in 2000.
