I must add something to this that is commonly mentioned with Wolfenstein and Doom, but it is not true.
Some credit Doom with being the original first person game, while others say it was Wolfenstein.
Both are false. If you want to see the original FIRST PERSON perspective game, you'll find it in an old 1983 game called 3-Demon, which was only CGA.
What was it? Pac-man from his point of view. No weapons, but I never said shooter. 3-Demon was out nearly 10 years before Wolfenstein, and it WAS first person, though they didn't call it that because that term had not been invented for games yet.
While some would argue and say that Wolf or Doom was, 3-Demon did the same thing: you look out the characters view. It amazes me how few people remember this game.
That said, given the fact that Doom is now almost 7 years old, coming out in 12/93, it still isn't that bad. You have to remember that back then, the average person was lucky to have 4 meg of memory. They used 320x200x256 graphics which by todays standards aren't much, but we're talking old technology.
What's wrong with retro games? A lot of early 80's games are coming back as well. Doom reminds us of our humble beginnings. Limited colors, few monster frames, but solid game play.
Blood, Duke Nukem, Unreal, Half-Life, and countless others didn't exist yet. This is all we had.
If you like old games, are a collector, or a die hard first person shooter fan, this is a great addition.
