Your first "first person shooter"

Technology and Gaming
#41

CounterStrike, sometime in the early 2000s. Can’t remember exactly.

#42

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

That gaem is teh shit lulz it’s b3tt3er than teh half lief series ever will be!11!1. My mom bought it tw1ce!1!

#43

guess it was HL1 back in 1999

#44

Another one for the Doom demo back in the mid 90’s.

#45

I can’t recall, Duke Nukem 3D or Turok. I was very young.

#46

I can’t remember… Probably HL1, but I’m sure there was something before that.

#47

Actually, it may have been the MGS1 demo that came with Teken 2 for PS1

#48

Neither of which are first person shooters.

#49

I didn’t think that it was an FPS, that is why i said No.

#50

Doom on a friend’s computer, I was so blown away I didn’t know what to think or how to feel! I had only played a couple nes and maybe snes games until then, and to think there’s a whole other world of video games, filled with violence and 3d movement and monsters, etc., I was just amazed. It took probably 3-5 years before I played any other fps games (Turok at a friend’s house), because my mom was one of those parents that abhors violence in any way shape or form. And now I’m a Valve geek :slight_smile:

Please climb into the nearest running wood chipper in an attempt to save humanity.

#52

Oh no, James Bond: Nightfire or whatever it was called was my first FPS game.

#53

Then why ask? Obviously is isn’t an FPS.

#54

Descent.

#55

I was going to say Metroid Prime. That’s the one that got me back into FPS gaming. But then:

I had totally forgotten about both of those. Great games, even if ChexQuest was a complete Doom ripoff. I’m sure my first FPS was one of these two, but I can’t remember which one was first. I think it was Descent, because I didn’t play Chex Quest until my dad had bought the family a brand new Gateway machine with Windows 3.11. I remember thinking it was awesome at the time, because unlike our old DOS computer, it came with speakers.

I think I might actually still have the Descent disc in a pile of CDs around here somewhere… I should pop it in and try it out on DosBox one of these days, for old times’ sake. :3

#56

+1 for an awesome game though.

#57

Dark Forces back in the mid 90’s. Then Jedi Knight in 1998 was my next shooter. I was completely blown away by Jedi Knight’s graphics at the time, and it’s still one of my favorite games. Hence why I’m remaking it on a newer engine. :awesome:

#58

Doom 1

#59

If memory serves me well, that would be Wolf3D when I was 10-11 at the school’s computer.

First FPS I personally owned myself was Unreal, then HL.

#60

Doom or Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. I can’t remember which cam first for me.
