What was your first FPS?

[ArmadilloGame]

Wolfenstein, DOOM, Duke Nukem, Dark Forces, though the exact order is blurred.

 

[MP!]

c:\>cd\wolf3d\wolf3d

after that probably goldeneye

 

[Khanimus]

OG Doom

 

[Osla]

Doom or Doom 2, I think it was the shareware version. Still epic!

 

[secretanchitman]

Wolfenstein 3D.

 

[DryvBy]

Wolfenstein 3-D. Followed by Doom. Back in those days, some of us nerds played on a flightstick. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[newgamewhodis]

No One Lives Forever was the first one I vividly remember and fell in love with.

Technically, though, I learned to explore FPS spaces in the game Descent. It was a great primer, because the 360 degrees of viewing freedom as well as the free-floating movement meant that you really had to have your head screwed on tight to remain spatially situated.

 

[inner-G]

Doom

 

[j^aws]

Battlezone by Atari (Arcade). A gloriously immersive FPS using tank controls and twin-sticks during the early 80s... State-of-the-art wireframe 3D. I'm also enjoying its modern reincarnation in VR.

 

[Give]

It was probably Doom, but the first one I very vividly remember playing was a Simpsons Doom Mod

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Wolfenstein 3D. I carried that shit around with me everywhere on some repurposed AoL trial disks on the off-chance I was somewhere with a PC that could run it.

Then I did the same with Doom.

 

[LooneyLMD]

Wolfenstein 3d.

 

[Imtehman]

first fps was in the nintendo 64 era... goldeneye/turok

my first online fps was tribes 1. One of the greatest fps ever made.

 

[vacantseas]

Wolfenstein 3D. Doom. Doom 2. Duke Nukem 3D.

Wolf3D was the first though.

 

[BrickArts295]

Modern Warfare 2
Those first couple of weeks were life changing for me XD

 

[spad3]

Thief

 

[ldcommando]

Wolfenstein.

 

[Dust]

I think it was either SiN or Blood.

 

[moomoo14]

The first Halo was the one I can remember playing.

There is video footage of my dad sitting me down and letting me have a go at Doom when I was 2, and that went pretty badly. I do not remember it at all.

 

[Parenegade]

My first FPS had to be GoldenEye 007. I played that a ton.

 

[belteshazzar]

Goldeneye. Got me hooked, I love FPS games ever since then. I wish there were more games like that one today, with objectives and additional cooler objectives as you pump up the difficulty. Wonder why no one does that anymore.

 

[Dynamite Cop]

Doom or Rise of the Triad. Forget which one I played first.

 

[Taurus Silver]

My first FPS game was Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I had just got a 360 right after Halo 3 launched (didn't get it right away) and COD was about to drop so I jumped on the hype train. Glad I did too because that was what really got me into gaming.

I had always been into video games but not like I am now. Before 07 all I did was play sports games and GTA.

 

[FinalSeven]

I would say Goldeneye. Man, that was a long time ago.

 

[borges]

Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM.

Click to shrink...

emm... its one or the other :P

 

[Embrodak]

c:\>cd\wolf3d\wolf3d

after that probably goldeneye

Click to shrink...

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

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

Disruptor on PS1. Don't care what anyone says, I still like it.

 

[Deleted member 28815]

The first one I played was Wolf3D at a friend's house.

The first one I owned was Jumping Flash.

 

[Mike.83]

Doom.
We had Wolfenstein 3D too but I think I played Doom first.

I remember my Dad playing it but when he got stuck he'd shout me in to do it. I was way to young to be playing Doom really.

 

[deadpixels]

The first FPS I ever dabbled in was Wolfenstein 3D back in 1992. My friend came home a PC trade show with a stack of discs including The Secret of Monkey Island, Hugo's House of Horrors, and id's pioneering FPS. Pretty sure we were glued to his Tandy for months after that released, and the addiction overcame us all over again when we got our hands on Spear of Destiny.

 

[Rezsolution]

Medal of Honor: Frontline or 007 Nightfire. Really showing my age, haha.

Used to play with my dad on the multiplayer with both all the time. Fucking Oddjob.

 

[gfxtwin]

First FPS I ever played? Probably Doom. First one I got into? Half-Life.

 

[Ramala]

Wolfenstein 3D. But my first FPS love affair was Doom.

 

[NexasX]

Counter Strike, but with a weird caveat; Only with bots. In fact, I'm more sold on an FPS game that features a fully robust single-player mode that emulates or is pretty much the same as the multiplayer component.

 

[Sheng Long]

Wolfenstein 3D

 

[est1992]

The first I remember was either Goldeneye or Doom

 

[Baz]

Wolfenstein 3D for me. Was a bit of a legend among my buddies when I completed it. Also had Doom II on the same machine but I didn't like how big the map seemed so never played that, really.

 

[A1an]

It is between Wolfenstein 3D and Doom I cannot remember which I played first though, but there wasn't much time between the two.

 

[mnemonicj]

It's tough to say, but it was probably Doom.
GoldenEye 64 was the most entertaining fps I played back in the 90's though.
Later Unreal Tournament came out and that was fun.

 

[Gabbo]

Wolfenstein 3D

 

[Englebert3rd]

Doom 2 and man did I love it back then.

 

[dgrdsv]

It was either Wolf3D or Spear of Destiny, I'm not really sure which one I've played first. Probably Wolf.

 

[gimbles123]

Soldier of Fortune on dreamcast at my friend's house.

 

[Pancoar]

Does DESCENT count?

 

[Alek]

Used to play Quake on PC when I was young, but I just played it because I didn't know what else to do with my PC. I wasn't really into it, just wanted something to play and my cousin gave it to me.

I didn't really get into FPS until Killzone / Timesplitters on PS2.

 

[Deleted member 15497]

Most likely Doom

 

[Patitoloco]

I think it was a shareware demo of Blood that came in a demo disc of a magazine.

 

[NathanDrake]

Crysis 2

 

[methodiczero]

Wolfenstein 3D........ god, that seems like a lifetime ago!

 

[pksu]

Dark Forces on Power Mac running System 7, loved it.
