Your FIRST First Person Shooter?

[Mozgus]

I admit, I didn't even have a PC until 1998. So this is a genre where I bloomed late. I consider the genre to be special compared to many others, because it has a certain universal appeal. I mean, the first person view itself is something that is easy for the casual person to understand. We see the world from the first person, and so playing a game from the first person is actually less of an extention for our minds to get used to. The third person view is actually a very awkward concept when you stand back and think about it.

So what was the first FPS you ever played? Anything that involves the first person view, navigating areas, and shooting stuff, lol. If the game files in those 3 folders, list it.

My very first, as far back as I can remember, was Zero Tolerance for the Genesis. The next one was Jumping Flash, and the next one was Doom for my Saturn.

My first FPS was Wolfenstein 3D.
I didn't own it, but I played it a few times in a local Radio Shack and other places.

If you don't count the shooting part, I actually had a very cool game on my 286 that was a 3D Pac-man.
I was blown away by how cool it was. Looking back it is actually a pretty cool game.
I wonder if I still have the floppy...

Wolfenstein 3D as well... on an old Tandy... oh dear, yes I owned a freakin' Tandy.

prolly the heretic demo, as it came free with our joystick. Then the dark forces demo. Duke nukem, dark forces 2, wolfenstein, and doom demos. I was a demo kid

Now I got pretty much every good classic fps somewhere.
I wonder if anyone's first FPS was marathon...

Once again, my hair is gray...

MidiMaze took my FPS cherry.

It was Wolfenstein 3D for me. Shortly after that came Doom, then Quake (I actually went to the computer store to pick up the Shareware version of it the day it came out for $9.95 since I did not have a net connection back then lol).

Definitely Wolfenstein 3D. I still remember going to my neighbors house who had big speakers hooked up and being blown away by the sound of the guns and the fact that the dogs barked instead of beeped!

the fact that the dogs barked instead of beeped!

lol -- never thought about that
good stuff

I forgot -- one of my friends did have Wolfenstien 3D as well.
I remember trying to figure out all the German speech in the game too.

Wolfenstein 3d, but I was very bad at it, never played an FPS for more 10 minutes after that.
