Isometric engine

I'd like to see how I would go about making an isometric tile based game. I've always been fascinated by isometrics but I can never get them to work properly. Could someone be so kind as to post an example for me that can show me how that would work?

Very basic : http://www.abrexxes.huntingsoftware.de/blitz/iso.zip

Testet on bmax (bruZard) and B3D.
