I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home.

I am not sure prerendered describes ja2 and fallout (some of the best games tbh). Aren't those just sprites?
The rest I have not played.
The characters and environments in Fallout and JA2 are basically still frames (sprites) of 3D models at specific angles. They were rendered once on a powerful development machine, and converted to sprites for our lowly Pentiums and Voodoos.
Prerendered sprites by taking screenshots of the models on their single expensive silicon graphics.
