Anyways none of those games are in anyway similar to the 3rd person shooters described in this thread

Of course there are striking similarities to be found in such games:

Narco Police

Of course not very advanced for the genre yet, but just look at the screenshots. You walk through 3D tunnels aiming your gun at badguys from a 3rd person perspective camera view.

Now combine the core concept with Cabal:

Co-op game, taking cover behind walls and you are on under way to the core concept of Gears.

Combine Dungeon Master from 1987 (magic spells, shooting arrows, eating food and collecting stuff, etc) and a more talky shooter like Law of the West from 1985 or adventure games and you have more the core concept of a modern game like Oblivion. Lots of gaming experimention happened in the 80s.
