The almost complete history of First Person Shooters and similar Influential Games. Footage of each individual game, shown sequentially by the date it was released. Multi platform, all games from all systems. Maze War through to the present day. watch each volume to find out what lies behind the genre. Games listed in Vol 1: Spasim Mazewar Tail Gunner Star Raiders Akalabeth Battlezone Stellar 7 3D Monster Maze Dungeons of Daggorath 3D Maze Phantom Slayer 3-D Maze Maze Amazing Alien Maze Quetzalcoatl Corridors of Genon Way Out Capture the Flag 3D Death Chase 3-Demon Encounter Rescue on Frectulus Questron 3D Monster Chase Tau Ceti Koronis Rift The Eidolon The Bards Tale Alternate Reality Cholo Arctic Fox Aliens C64 Micronaut One Driller 3D Midi Maze Backlash Dungeon Master The Colony Mercenary 1 Phantasy Star Dark Side Missing here: Castle of Tharoggad Treasure of Tarmin Wizadry The Sentinel Disclaimer: Some dates may be wrong, so if anyone can advise me on the correct dates. Many of these games release dates are recorded only by the year of release, so it would be nice to get them in the right monthly order. The new Vol 2 will follow shortly, and so on........ Purists may point out that some of these games are not proper FPS, the reason for this is because this is a History of FPS, which means I had to include games that can be considered to be influential. Such as most of the early RPG's. Also some of the flight games such as Rescue on Fractulus were important for their revolutionary engine, which was used later for a few FPS titles. RPG's mirror the development of FPS games throughout, both in rendering, and perspective. There really isnt much between a FPS with a mele weapon and an RPG with a crossbow. Thanx for watching ;-)
