Doom was the first FPS I played. GoldenEye was the first FPS I regularly played though.

First FPS would be either Counter Strike or Half Life... I can't recall which one I played first.

Does Duck Hunt count as FPS? I mean, sorta is. Sorta isn't. Meh, I'll just go with Wolfenstein 3D.

My first FPS was Doom for the PC. Followed soon thereafter by Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny and Doom II.

And, no, Duck Hunt isn't an FPS, but simply a lightgun game. Played that too, though, a couple of years earlier.

Doom and Wolfenstein, then played mostly strategy games until Half-Life and Counterstrike came out, tried a whole lot of others in between, played Gears of War and Halo 2 extensively while working tech support for Microsoft, now its mostly F.E.A.R., Call of Duty and Left 4 Dead

Blood.

Nobody probably remembers it, it's from 1997. So I guess that it was my first FPS game.

Lol @ a person with over a year on Escapist not knowing what FPS is.

Now that I stop to consider, I'm kicking myself for forgetting a notable FPS that I played the heck out of; Aliens vs. Predator, the first one. That was a great game, one of the few times a game actually scared me into a "Hudson moment" and I refused to get out of the elevator on LV426 for a while...

Goldeneye is older than Half Life! Don't lump it in the 00's!


Ahem, anyway. Wolfenstein (Get psyched!) was my first FPS, although the first ones to ensnare me for any length of time were Quake and Goldeneye.

I think Goldeneye was a rite of passage for gaming kids in the 90's.

Marathon was my first. Started playing it at computer camp when i saw another kid with it on his PC. I sucked at FPSes just as much back then as I do now.

You say you "don't know the genre" even though you have been here over a year.

Also, one-worders are looked down upon here less friendly than upon one-liners.
