Given that 1001 isometric titles from the 8 and 16-bit eras managed it just fine without 3D chips, I think the answer is an obvious yes. If you want a useful answer, then I suggest you rephrase your question to be "How do I determine draw order for isometric 2D including height?" – MrCranky Nov 19 '12 at 14:24

Then close the question as a duplicate. gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/18982/… and gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/8151/… – Byte56 Nov 19 '12 at 14:31
Height in isometric transforms can be done by adding a Y offset when drawing your tiles and objects. The drawing order between tiles remains the same, but you need to draw items on the same tile coordinate from the bottom up. – ccxvii Nov 19 '12 at 23:49
