There were, of course first person games before Hovercraft 3D, (when did Faceball 2000 come out?) and there's no doubt that Wolfenstein 3D laid the groundwork for what was to come, but Doom has always been the true beginning of the phenomenon of the FPS. Id also gets credit for their engines on Blake Stone' date=' Rise of the Triad, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, Hexen II, and many more. I recall games like Dungeon Master on the ST being similar (albiet slow) and even games on the 8-bit like Way-Out and Lucas Art's The Eidolon were FPS type games about a decade before DOOM! MIDI-MAZE on the ST was out long before DOOM! but it had Multi-Player Mode, AND it had an "engine" very sililar to Wolf 3D's. Wolf was NOT the first FPS ever invented, nor was it the first game to offer the player that type of play.ĭOOM! Wasn't the first Mult-Player game of this type either. So in short, Doom is better, but Wolf3D started it all!! and it deserves points for that.ĭOOM! is responsible for the revolution in FPS games which is still felt today. I only played the PC version, as I never owned a Jaguar, but kiling hitler in the third episode gave a kid a joy like no other.ĭoom had cooler weapons, and wayyyyy better maps/lighting and of course was the very first multiplayer FPS, which has to be the absolute best video game experience I think I've ever had. and if I remember correctly, no ceiling textures. Doom was of course technically better, all the maps in Wolf3D are composed of square rooms.
