Doom
The mother of all FPSes...
Doom. Run around, blast demons, get weapons. Uncompromisingly intense, with no shortage of challenge, Doom ushered in a new era - the age of the FPS.

Don't forget the Sega 32X version!
(Also, IDSPISPOPD, so, nyeah! :)
Still 13 or so years is a pretty good "shelf-life", lol
Anyways I love this game, but I feel the XBLA port was a bit tarnished, anyone else agree?
Didn't really get into it till a few years later, by which time it felt mostly repetitive and tedious. Still, a pretty decent game for its time.
Many purists will argue that "B.J. Blazkowicz" and Wolfenstein 3D gave birth to the FPS (and I agree to a point), but the world didn't pile on a mile high until DOOM came along a little over a year later. This title spawned a generation of games and gamers like no other has ever done. Every FPS we see today borrows something from the DOOM franchise.
I remember when the shareware came out; every time I would mention it, someone would say, 'Did you say DUNE?'. No. DOOM! What?!
It's funny to think about those times and how no one had an idea of where this little shooter would take us. Well, look at us now.
Thank you, DOOM. For everything.
