Actually, the first FPS game to feature texture-mapped 3D graphics was Sega's "Metal Head" in 1994. However, Metal Head was a mecha simulation game, so you could say Quake was the first on-foot FPS to feature texture-mapped 3D graphics.

Great video!!! Accurate and informative! Thanks mate!

Wow, someone knows about Cholo on the BBC Micro? I spent hours on that one as a kid.

christ, I remember playing "3D Monster Maze" when I was a kid, it scared me shitless every time..

Star Wars 1983 (arcade/conversions) is missing?
-
@Jagged85 But Quake was the first to do the latter combined with texture mapping, an important milestone nonetheless.

@theplock99 It's seen from a first person perspective, and you shoot things. How are these not FPS's?
-
THANKYOU for acknowledging that there were games with you running around a maze in first person, shooting things, long before Wolfenstein or Doom. Those ones just popularised it.

Battlezone was vector, which is technically 2D, or pseudo-3D. The kind of 3D I'm referring to is true polygonal 3D, which is the kind used today. Star Cruiser was the first FPS to use shaded polygonal 3D graphics.

Another interesting thing about Star Cruiser is that it was possibly the first 3D polygonal FPS ever released. Prior to its release in 1988, all FPS games were either 2D or vector, but Star Cruiser featured full 3D polygonal graphics nearly a decade before Quake. In addition, Star Cruiser was also possibly the first console FPS, since its Mega Drive port was released in 1990.

One you might want to add is Star Cruiser, released in 1988 for the PC-88 in Japan. Run a youtube search on 'star cruiser megadrive' and there's a good video of the 1990 Megadrive port. Star Cruiser is an interesting hybrid of FPS, RPG and space combat sim. Sadly, it was never fully translated but you can give it a shot - it's emulated well on both MD and PC-88. The developer, Arsys, also made another game called 'Wibarm' in '86 which has 3D maze parts (and an automap!) mixed with a 2D ARPG.
