PS: I think Infocom's Witness was also turn-based real time. Haven't played it though.
How is Turn-based realtime? That is the opposite of turn-based. lol

Anyways, real-time means the game field continues to do what it does without waiting for input.

That is way turn-based and real-time are two completely different categories.

The games stated in this thread are Turn-based, not real-time. Best definition for the game is move limited turn-based. Or time limited if movement can be classified as time.
