  One thing crossed my mind when I read this.
  The old ZX-Spectrum had (at least almost) true 3D games (I remember
  at least one, of cars, but I can't remember the name, it was Drift or
  something; I remember the game also existed on the PC). If we take
  into acount that it had a 3.54MHz Z80 and a 256x192 pixel screen, 
  are you really sure a 6MHz Z80 128x64 pixel screen calc can't do it?
