Rasterization, you probably could simulate the 3D effect in real time these days although it would be a waste of resources but back then not a chance, you would generate each UI element once and take a picture of it and use that as the UI.

Yeah I was referring to modern day, vector images are everywhere and easy to render. "Waste of resources" is a weird thing to mention because it's entirely subjective. All visuals could be called that compared to a TUI.
