I'm not an expert, but I believe that TI-85 doesn't have enough memory nor
speed to show real 3D with textures. Filled polygons might work, but with
2 colors (assuming that you don't use grayscales) you would have to use a
raster. Either way it would be slow. The old Starwars (with the simple
line vector graphics) or something similar might be possible (and
relatively fast). The 3D in such a game is quite easy.

BTW. I've seen daedalus and I think it's nice except
that is a little slow (though it only has doom style walls)
