Your entry into the world of FPS?

Wolfenstein 3D was one of the first games after the GTA games that I played on my 128 mb RAM desktop back in 2007 (which was still a potato computer by 2007 standards XD)

I played Doom but I didn't really appreciate it until I revisited in the 2000s, and now I still play it pretty frequently. Believe it or not I found it quite scary when it came out. Particularly the Imps.

I don't mind Doom. It's not my favourite but I still play it every once in a while. I had it installed on my phone for a bit alongside Duke3d actually. Some of the custom maps that exist for Doom today are super awesome but even the classic campaign is still good. I even enjoyed Doom 3 though it seems like a lot of people don't really care for it. I didn't really find the 2016 remake to be anything all that special. I don't like qte type shit. I find it annoying and there was a lot of that even in the demo I played.

Wolfenstein 3D was the first FPS I ever played on a friend's PC and later Doom as well.

Both were graphically very impressive at the time, but Doom had a definite wow factor in the way the world moved around the player, and the shotgun reload animation really stood out for me!

I knew them mostly from a magazine and found it scary.

Not fully horror but I always felt like Turok was a FPS with some creepiness coming of it while Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were more conventional.


I love how this game had some "Metroid Prime-esque" effect with the Primagen Keys and getting new abilities to get to them. Powerslave did that a bit before but it was the first game on a Nintendo console to have a non linear progression for a FPS.

It was either Doom or another early FPS that did not appeal to me. Although Unreal Tournament (1999) was the first game of the genre I spent more than 1 hour playing, particularity against friends at high school.
