True, games like Battle Tank did some similar things albeit without people, Wolfenstein 3D was the first to fully realize it in full color pixels and detailed graphics. Traversing corridors and gunning down Nazis felt immediately visceral in a way games had not felt before.

Most gamers would be hard pressed to come up with two more iconic titles in the first-person shooter genre than Wolfenstein 3D, the one that started it all in many respects, and DOOM, the sensation that changed video games for forever.
