What was your first FPS?

[MikePT]

Doom. Got motion sickness but stuck through it!

 

[Dewin]

 

[Purdy]

Dark Forces

 

[MP!]

Same story. Add a little spear of Destiny in between though.

I may have watched someone play parts of doom and duke nukem inbetween...

 

[Applesaucejaxon]

Wolfenstein 3D for me, also.

 

[NoblerThanWork]

Timesplitters 2. I played JRPGs and platformers almost exclusively until I played TS2 on a demo disc from the Official Playstation Magazine. Now I almost exclusively play FPS. Part of me really wants to see a modern Timesplitters, but another part of me really doesn't trust anyone to do it justice. Especially since anything even remotely lewd is subject to conflation with sexism.

 

[Deleted member 17403]

My dad was really into PC gaming back in the day so my first exposure to the FPS genre came by way of Hexen, Heretic and Doom

 

[BodyHarvest]

Hexen 64, I was dizzy for a while first time I played. Then Doom 64 :D

 

[T8SC]

Doom, on the SNES.

 

[Karateka]

either goldeneye or turok, can't remember.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Being somewhat broad with the concept so I can provide a silly answer:
Lego Island.

 

[Dictator]

Wolfenstein 3D, and it's still one of my favorite FPSs ever

This was also my first FPS.

 

[GNTsquid]

Doom.

I was probably too young to be playing it but I remember not really seeing it as a violent game. Nothing was detailed enough for me to be disturbed about it. Then the friends house we were at activated God mode and I was hooked.

 

[Riot]

My first console FPS was DOOM on the SNES (if I remember the shotgun acted as a sniper in that version) and on the PC it was Duke 3D atomic edition.

 

[Xavillin]

Either Killswitch or Ecks vs Sever on Gameboy Advance. Whichever one is an FPS.

 

[Nem]

Wolfenstein 3D.

Remember being scared shitless turning each corner.

 

[CaviarMeths]

I played Duke Nukem 3D and Goldeneye 007 around the same time. 20 years ago and I was a young lad, so not sure which one I picked up first.

 

[LightKiosk]

Like many people here, GoldenEye 007 on N64.

 

[Yasuke]

Goldeneye, of course.

It's still top 3 too, along with Halo 3 and Destiny/2.

 

[jacks81x]

Doom. Had such great time playing 1v1 deathmatch with my friend over 56k modem.

 

[Ænima]

Duke Nukem

 

[SHAQ]

Wolf3D demo on my old Packard Bell

Did it give you motion sickness? Did it sell you on the genre or put you off of it? Did you need longer than usual to get used to the controls?

Click to shrink...

I didn't even understand what I was playing. I didn't know what a first person shooter was at the time.. I think I was in the 5th grade so 8-9?

It didn't sell me on the genre but it made me a PC gamer for life.

 

[spelk]

Does the original Battlezone count?

If not, then Wolfenstein 3d shareware demo on a floppy disk.

 

[HououinKyouma00]

I'm not entirely sure of the exact one but it was one of the Delta Force games. All I remember is a underwater rifle and a OICW.

 

[mindatlarge]

Wolfenstein 3D and then shortly there after Doom. Rise of the Triad after those. Had to play these games at night when my parents were sleeping. Good times.

 

[Ghrellin]

OG Doom

Click to shrink...

Same..1991 Sixth grade. My best friend at the time had an incredible PC library, from Janes flight simulator to Leisure Suit Larry!

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Wolfenstein 3d on a IBM at Radio Shack. My first time using an IBM computer as well since my school and friend had Apples.

 

[Alastor]

 

[Nishastra]

Catacomb 3-D.

 

[Darkpyro2]

Star Wars Battlefront II for the PS2

 

[Boots The God]

Either doom or GoldenEye 007. They need to bring back the "license to kill" game mode

 

[Super Butoden]

GoldenEye. Four of the first five I played were all-time greats. GoldenEye, Pokémon Snap, Perfect Dark, The World Is Not Enough, and Halo: Combat Evolved.

 

[Lizzy]

Halo CE in 2005.

 

[Sygma]

Doom and Heretic

 

[Zukkoyaki]

A demo of the original Half Life when I was like... 7 or 8 haha

 

[The Almighty Tria]

I swear it was Congo for PC, but I look it up and it looks way different than I remembered. I remember the graphics being much more Doom like.

 

[ToddBonzalez]

Goldeneye was the first FPS I can remember playing. Halo 1 was the first that I sunk a significant amount of time into.

 

[RPGamer]

Wolfenstein 3D.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Medal of Honour on PS1.

 

[Sillution]

Wolfenstein 3D for Dos

 

[Kubricks]

Wolfenstein 3D then Doom. I guess this is very common for all of us here?

 

[LuigiV]

Another one for Wolfenstein 3D.

 

[Darth Finky Spunky]

Goldeneye.

 

[Yung Coconut]

Golden Eye on console and Quake on pc.

 

[SavoyPrime]

Doom. A friend had it on his PC in the dorm. I don't remember getting motion sickness, but I do remember losing track of time playing it. Was damn fun.

 

[Rhomega]

Dark Forces. My parents were worried about violent video games like Mortal Kombat and Doom, so I stayed away from those for a while.

 

[zoku88]

Doom. I think it was specifically the Windows part of Ultimate Doom....? My mom, apparently a fan of Doom, just happened to see Ultimate Doom at the grocery store or something (?).

Too long ago for me to remember the exact story, haha.

 

[Jer]

SNES Doom. I was like "this is awesome", and one of my PC owning friends came over and was like "what the hell is this, it's running at like 4 FPS and you can't see anything". Got PC Doom a few months later and agreed with my friend, heh.
