Antarctic Adventure was a 1983 game from Konami where you played as a character in a 3D environment that ran and jumped over obstacles. Same with 1987's 3D Worldrunner. Sure, these games were sprite-based rather than polygonal, but is that really what makes a 3D platformer? And even if those didn't count, Alpha Waves came out in 1990 on Amiga. It wasn't necessarily a good game, but it meets the criteria.
