Have you played this Alien-flavoured FPS? The game accomplished many things, considering it was from the early 90s.
This could also be the first FPS game that featured automatically opening doors? Long before Quake 1.

Most players have a love-hate relationship with this title for a good reason. While devs did a great job with the Hillbilly theme (humor, visuals, one-liners...), the levels were often very cryptic. What did you like the most?

Quiver is another "Doom clone" that came out a bit too late, competing with games like Quake 2 that came out the same year. It's still fun though!

Before the og ID Software team hit it big with Wolf 3D there was Hovertank 3D. They developed it for the Softdisk and it is considered the first FPS game.
Despite solid-colored walls, the significance of the graphics engine was a huge breakthrough.
