Is this the same algo used for Magic Carpet (1994)? The style looks very familiar, and I always wondered how they pulled it off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

  The game originally used a "voxel" engine [1], but the final release switched to affine texture mapping (with a heightmap-based terrain, still). The voxel-style engines tend to feature a longer draw distance (due to it being cheaper to render, as you can easily use various hacks to eg. halve texture accesses far away). For a detailed look into the rendering of Magic Carpet, start from Slide 8 of [2].
