The 3D engine in Thief: The Dark Project (called, simply, "The Dark 
Engine") uses 8-bit colour, too.  They _really_ chose the palette well 
though, you don't really notice except for banding here and there.

Thief 2 is only 16-bit colour, and it looks great (although it could use 
some more detailed models).
