I can only think of three. What else was done in this vein?

In King's Bounty: The Legend combat per se is turn-based, but explortation can make for some excercise in dexterity when you are trying to avoid confrontation/lure the enemy parties close to each other/confront them before the Rage level drops. Be it due to imperfect pathfinding or by design, it adds the kind of tension more typical of action games.

So does Fallout Tactics (and I think some third, hybrid mode).

Does pause-able real time count? Because there's a lot.

Is Future Tactics: The Uprising anything like it? I didn't play either.
I read about some first person (?) shooter in develpoment that mixed commanding when the time flow's paused with real-time action years ago (in PC gaming press), but I don't know if it got finished. Then again, plentiful tactical shooters consist of the planning phase and real-time gameplay. Then there's Valkyrie Profile 1&2 and hybrid systems in many Square games.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike has a separate real-time mode (it sucks).

Codename S.T.E.A.M. is turn based with some real time aspects. Not sure if it counts, but I remember reading that one of the Bomberman Max games had a mini game with pokemon-ish battles.

This probably doesn't count, but Kirby Super Star has a stage that parodies turn based battles in RPGs.

The Growlanser battle system is a hybrid of both, though it's not an action game if that is what you are looking for.

I think Vagrant Story fits the criteria.

Future Tactics has turn based movement, and then you manually aim down-scope using button timing to line up shots. I thought I would love it, but unfortunately it has several stages that I really didn't enjoy, mostly due to infinite respawning enemies. I couldn't bring myself to keep playing it.

How about Knights in the Nightmare?

Ogre Battle/Ogre Battle 64 kind of fits that description. Amazing games to boot, especially the N64 one.
