Your very first FPS Game

I don't think duck hunt REALLY counts guys

However, I believe ULTIMA UNDERWORLD does. First game where you could explore and fight in the first person. I'm not sure it qualifies as a shooter, though you could get a crossbow and shoot spells.

then Wolfenstein 3-D of course. Doom by the end of high school over dial-up (Score!), Duke Nukem freshman year, Quake by sophmore year, and the first Half Life by 4th year of college when machines didn't come OTB overclocked, you had to do it yourself

Wolf3d/Doom if Duck Hunt doesn't count.

 

[Candlejack]

.. Duck hunt totally counts. What are you talking about?

 

[DragonD]

Wolf and Doom... way back around 92 or so

 

[Lance]

If Duck Hunt counts, that. If not, Goldeneye. But they were both kind of old by the time I played them (I think I first played a NES around 2000, and got Goldeneye with our N64 a little after the time the Gamecube came out. I'm caught up now, I have all of Nintendo's main consoles )

 

[Rellik]

Duck Hunt (if you count that)

Wolfenstein3D (if you don't) And I played it when it was "brand new"

castle wolfenstein.

btw....i would have to agree that i dont believe duck hunt counts as an fps, sure its a shooter but its a target/light gun shooter and you do not move around per se in game thru a level.

First-person shooter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First-person shooter (FPS) is a video game genre which centers the gameplay around gun- or projectile weapon-based combat through the first person perspective; i.e., the action is seen through the eyes of a protagonist, and thus the player. Generally speaking, the first-person shooter shares common traits with other shooter games, which in turn fall under the heading action game. From the genre's inception, advanced 3D or pseudo-3D graphics elements have challenged hardware development, and multiplayer gaming has been integral.

The first person shooter has since been traced as far back as Maze War, development of which began in 1973, and 1974's Spasim. 1987's MIDI Maze for the Atari ST was one of the first network multiplayer action games and also saw release on game consoles. The genre coalesced with 1992's Wolfenstein 3D, which is generally credited with redefining the genre and the basic archetype upon which subsequent titles were based. One such and the progenitor of the genre's wider mainstream acceptance and popularity was Doom, released the following year and perhaps the most influential first-person shooter. Half-Life, released in 1998, enhanced the narrative and puzzle elements, and along with its 2004 sequel Half-Life 2, showcases the considerable development of the genre's potential.[1][2] GoldenEye 007 (1997) was the first landmark first-person shooter for home consoles, with the Halo series heightening the console's commercial and critical appeal as a platform for first-person shooter titles. In the 21st century, the first-person shooter is one of the most widely played and fastest growing video game genres.[3]

i played this one shooter for the atari i had when i was really young...i remember because it was like duck hunt, but the gun was this huge revolver. I used to unplug the gun and run around the house playing cops/robbers...hahah. then my parents sold my atari in a yard sale, jerks....then i think that christmas we got nintendo, and duck hunt.
other than that, of course wolfenstein 3D. Man i wish i still had that game...i used to know all the secrets, it was amazing. pure classic
