FPS Games 1992-1996

- This video is a selection of first person shooter games released on the pc between 1992 and 1996. This is NOT a complete list of fps games released between these years but rather a selection of the most memorable or popular ones. Please leave comments below and let me know if I have missed out any games. There are some games that I do not deem to be first person shooters e.g. Ultima Underworld and System Shock. I see these games as RPGs in the first person perspective. Also, the year 1996 is not complete. I limited the video to 20 games and will create a follow up video for 1996-1999 with another 20 games.

Duke Nukem 3D was THE FPS game that broke the "Doom clone" curse for the category (Build engine was a bit more advanced). Released between Doom and Quake on April '96. Maybe it wasn't your time, but huge, huge miss.
Actually, Doom clones curse go on, half-Life actually killed the curse and newblood resurrected it
@@jordanfreman4954 No, Duke was the first for sure. No one looked at it and thought 'Doom clone', it was powerful on its own. Since Half Life is 3D and Quake and Quake 2 were already around, it's not the same thing.
Oh, and yeah,the curse ended. No games 'felt' like half-assed Doom games, and FPS became a category on its own.
build engine is also janky (off topic?)
@@jordanfreman4954 True, but people went crazy over it when it came out.
@@guysplace5385 yes i know that
You forgot the ultimate vertigo-inducing FPS's: Descent I & II
I'll never forget getting Sound Blaster speakers for the first time ever back in 91/92. It blew my mind while playing WOLF 3D. I was 7 back then. Great memories.
I remember the first time I saw Doom running on a PC in an electronics store. I stood there for a good 30 minutes and just stared at the monitor. I couldn't believe what I saw because I only had an 8088 PC at home at this time. I remember thinking: This looks like a movie.
@@XXXXXXXXXO I remember seeing it for the 1st time ever as well, it looked dark and awesome. Great times.
Agree. Sound Blaster 16 had proper 2W analog stereo amplifier. I used SB16 directly connected to 30W speakers :)
@@XXXXXXXXXO Doom worked as argument for me to kick the scrooge inside me and upgrade to 386DX40.
@@KrotowX do you remember those games that came with it like the talking parrot? Well, its not exactly a game but it would crack me and my mate up because the parrot would make a different noise when you pressed a different key, then it wud freeze up with the sound still coming out going MEEEEEEEEH!
We used to turn the speakers up to max to annoy my mates mum. We were 7/8 and thought that was hilarious hahaha.
I still love Doom, Heretic, Quake, and Quake II
Me too
Doom II, Heretic, and Rise of the Triad all in the span of three months. Fall 1994, what a time to be alive.
rise of triad was overhyped because it was inferior in every aspect to doom. I hated it so much
@@eng3d if you say so. I loved it
It's less of a miss than e.g. Duke Nukem, but Bungie's Marathon was incredibly innovative in a lot of ways (including multiplayer modes) and set the stage for the entire Halo franchise.
Retro FPS is pure love!
How can you not include Duke Nukem 3D???
1997
Teddy I must have been thinking of the atomic edition
Descent?
Rob Rademan what?
Rob Rademan oh cool I didn’t know about that one
Duke Nukem 3d was a huge miss. 2 console ones I remember playing were Disruptor on PS1 and Zero Tolerance for Sega Genesis.
The omission of Duke 3D is puzzling...
Maybe the video poster thinks Duke Nukem is CRAP? Oh wait, it IS now.
Foebane72 it's not Duke 3D that's bad, it's Duke Nukem FOREVER that's bad or are you just one of those people who loves 90s action movies and couldn't take the satire of the genre that is the whole game.
Duke Nukem 3D was a fun little game back in the day, but I would say that yes, Forever has forever negatively painted it into dated territory.
it's good to see that we've gotten that misunderstanding out of the way.
5:50. Hexen. First Person Puncher.
FPP
Back in a time where you could carry up to 30 weapons, usable items, jump, medkits, large colorful landscapes, fast and frantic gameplay, hidden secrets and play via LAN parties and couch coop with a buddy.
Now it's brown n bloom, street grey, regenable health, checkpoints every 30 seconds, auto saving and only being able to carry two weapons.
Sad how much times have changed.
Agreed
indeed
I don't think you could jump yet in most games
wormwood5073 doom, max payne 3 & wolfenstein still have some of those things.
Sagittarius476 that's because they were made with old school elements in mind and very few games have them today
Terminator future shock released 12.31.1995. maybe the first FPS with 3D character models/objects. So quite important to the history of 3D FPS
It was the first FPS I played that didn't annoy me honestly
Yeah buddy Duke Nukem!! :O surprised that one is missing :S
MrAdammassacre I was waiting for that one
What it 1997
Quake 1 is still the best game I have ever played! So much atmosphere!
The best game? Shit son..
@@Gonken88 And I played hundred of games.
@@HowBigistheMap Quake is a little too dark and gothic, I like half life more tbh
@@henneyten4390 Halflife is great. I also enjoyed Blood 2, Shogo, No One Lives Forever and SiN in those days.
Doom is the best in my opinion. No. Jumping just fast.

+spawnport08 port quake is better
Daniel Davies Marathon and others series this game))
Heretic and Hexen was made by Raven Software. Id only published the games.
Skynet is Bethesda and deserves a hell of a reboot!
iD Software fucking destroyed everybody
duke nukem the king of 90s shooters came out in 1996 why isnt he here? also bad toys, and some game with haunted houses
Duke Nukem 3D will appear in my follow up video. I think the haunted houses game you refer to is either Realms of the Haunting or Nitemare 3D.
There is one king of 90s shooters and its the king of all shooters and the game that basically pushed online gaming to the forefront. first game to have online rankings and competitions. and that is Quake and the mod Quakeworld.
The golden age of first person shooters ... for real men.
Uyuyuy
Outta these, the ones i played most were: Doom 2, Hexen, Quake, and Duke Nukem 3D.
WAIT!Wheres Duke?
Shadow warrior???
* /PCManus\ * Retro Gaming 1997 dude
shadow warrior is 1997
I was surprised not to see "Blood", but I have to give you kudos for remembering Witchhaven (one of the best in my opinion) and Strife. Both excellent FPS of their time. Actually, I just remembered that "Blood" came out in 1997, so I guess that omission is understandable.
thank you so very much for the trip back to my childhood. very nice. underrated video.
Good thing you included Quake. That was one of my favorite FPS games from that era.
I laughed when I saw Depth Dwellers on the list.
Great video !
Terminator: Future Shock or Skynet totally got me. It was so revolutionary game in many ways. Its sad lots of people forgot this games. Everybody remembers Doom, Duke, Blood, but Terminator is little bit forgotten today.
Operation: Body Count, released in 94 was also one that could've made this list. My brother and I (now in our mid 30s) had fond memories of playing most of these FPS games growing up. Dark Forces was so awesome at the time...we were blown away.
I remember Operation body count lol.
There’s a doom remake of this. Also civvie did a video on it.
I remember that, at the time, you couldn't turn around without finding a new of these games. AND YOU'D PLAY THEM LIKE THEY WERE CRACK.
Blake Stone is one of my favorites, good to see it on here.
Agreed with the consensus, Duke Nukem 3D was a BIG miss in this video... That clearly was a FPS game like no other. Also, I think this might be another FPS from that era, Alien Trilogy (which I think was released on the PlayStation 1), I think that was a 1995 game.
Great video. Thanks
Some games that I forgot to include in this video are The Terminator: Rampage (1993), Ken's Labyrinth (1993), Bram Stoker's Dracula (1993), Nitemare 3D (1994) and Bad Toys 3D (1995). There are obviously several games missing for 1996.
dcoates14 Duke Nukem 3D (1996)(3D Realms)
+dcoates14 WHAT SOMEONE BESIDES ME HAS ACTUALLY PLAYED KENS LABYRINTH AND BAD TOYS 3D???! :D
+dcoates14 System Shock (1994) (Looking Glass Studios)
+dcoates14 Descent 1994
+dcoates14 System Shock 1 and Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri are probably the best DOS FPSs I can think of.
1994 and 1996.
would still rather play these than the games of today
strike... i was looking this game for over 15 years, i could not remmember his name!!! thanks you very much
Ah so many good games in this video really tug at the nostalgia strings.
Mostly the list of games in the videos is similar. You can always find the big and famous titles. I was happy to find games like: Pursuit of Greed, Depth Dwellers or Neves of Steel. well done.
in "In pursuit of Greed" the music playing is a very similar song of what you get in Crusader: No Regret (song is called "Ninth Crusade" by Andrew Sega, aka "Necros")
I owned a lot of these when I was a kid! Very cool to see them again!👍
I think Disruptor (1996) is really worth mentioning.
есть ли еще из подобного
Doom has aged so well.
Obviously, Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein 3D had by far the best floor-to-wall and environment-to-enemy contrast, providing the cleanest graphics for best-possible orientation. All the other games would have achieved that only at much higher resolutions, like 640x400. Watching them at low-res, I get lost or dizzy all the time.
Blake Stone owned hard
These games changed my life ❤️❤️❤️
Fun fact: System Shock 1 came out a mere 1 year after DOOM and was fully 3D.
@Chris Katko Another fun fact. Before Looking Glass Technologies created System Shock, they created the fully 3D Ultima Underworld in 1992, under the name Blue Sky Productions. When John Carmack saw Ultima Underworld, he decided to make his own 3D engine that ran faster.
Should have been called Final Doom: Nothing Final About It
Ok? No one cares
@@NWRfan You mean like no one cares about your... 'opinion', but you decided to share it anyway?
I had a floppy disk copy of Wolfenstein back in 1993. My PC didn't have stereo speakers, so the game had no music and generic sound effects. My PC wasn't even capable of connecting to the Internet. Damn, we've come a long way in 25 years.
Dark Forces was awesome! I remember that was the game I was jealous of when I had Amiga 1200 and my neighbour bought a PC.
By me was the same! Amiga was amazing but with 3d shooters the amiga was hopelessly overwhelmed
Gamma brightness in the video option menue was extremely important for the doom franchise. Having this option turned too high will dramatically affect the game graphics detail. Playing in a dark room with brightness and gamma turned downed in the game; will bring out the best graphic detail. In this video the brightness was turned up way to high giving it a cartoon feel instead of a realistic feel.
It's just amazing to see what game developers could do on the hardware at the time!
Limited in what? That hardware was high end at that time - and the quality of those games corresponds to that time.
@@dacsus Your right. I corrected the comment. That wasn't what I meant.
@@JuniorBlitz Dude, i worked in game industry between 2001 and 2005 (as leveldesigner), and treust me, i am blown away with what you can have in game nowadays. I was limited to 20 000 polygones on screen (including NPCs, and weapon - it aws 20k x 30 fps - so 600k /s) - now? There are items that hawe more than 20k polygons, and you can heve hundreds of them on screen.
Pure simple fun great vid
Where is Alien Trilogy?
Its released in 1996.
I think this is PC FPS
@@ThePassingVoid That's a 2 year-old comment... Btw, Alien Trilogy is a FPS that was released for DOS, PS1 and Sega Saturn. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Trilogy
Where's Descent (1995), Duke Nukem 3D (1996), System Shock (1994), and Marathon (1994) ?
those are all games that were pretty big back in the day.
I don't think witchaven was big back then, but im glad you included that.
Definately deserves more recognition.
Catacomb Abyss (1992).
I love these old straight forward box style worlds
OMG! This was-is perfect :)
Luv those times when Doom came out. I was 11 years old and we played it a lot with friends. Duke Nukem 3D was jackpot.
Great overview, I miss shadow warrior.
so many on the list i don't even know. good work. i miss shadow warrior, and a games name started with S. i don't recall the name. System shock? yeah i think it was this. and descent freespace was also mid 1990s shooter.
I want them all as Redux versions like the new Duke 3d ,Shadow Warrior ,Blood and Brutal Doom.
replaying Heretic and Hexen1 at the moment with the Doomsday Engine. I can highly recommend it.
Alien Trilogy as Redux would be nice too.
Damn i love em all those games. my all time fav games
Dark Forces was the first FPS to give me a slight case of vertigo and it just felt weird seeing and hearing the Star Wars universe turned a corridor shooter with a synthesized score. I wish I could better explain how I both wanted to play the game but also how bizarre it made me feel playing it.
pretty good game . but damn jedi academy was alse realy good even if you play as shooter
So many unique FPS shooters back in the day..
you mentioned realms of the haunting but didnt put it in your list! Up there in my greatest games of all time list - compare it to the others from 1996 in your list for storytelling, depth and atmosphere. I just checked and it came out on the 31st December 1996....so it counts :P
Chex Quest, ShadowCaster, CyberMage, Magic Carpet & Descent. I could see how you overlooked Duke Nukem 3D, because the Atomic Edition came out at the end of 1996. In fact, I think I personally got it in 1997. I always wait for everyone else to suffer through the patches.
Great video , All those is for Mac to ? some of them are port to Amiga to.
The thing creepy about these games is THE CHARACTERS ALWAYS FACE YOU!
thx 4 the memories
Quake... man i miss the days of quakeworld and such.
I only have the dooms but I wish I had all these games. They are the reason why I love video games and also how video games became
Jeez, after all these years, Wolfenstein 3D still makes my heart pump... Great game, for sure. But damn if the controls arent awful. You can never see where those nazis are coming from! lol.
If you're in Russia, they come from the West, if you're in France, they come from the East lol
You missed out duke nukem 3d, marathon, and blood
Peter Williams Blood = 1997
Duke Nukem 3D was April 1996... Although I'd probably agree the other two were 1997.
Marathon is from 1994
Anyone remember playing these when they were new?
I remember the disappointment my 386 DX 2 66 couldn't handle some these games as a child. Man what a time to be alive
Very nice little desk reference. I love Skynet, but when I played it, it was called Terminator Future Shock.
And it preceded Quake as the first full-3D FPS.
Heretic and Hexen really knew how to put the High Fantasy into First Person Shooter. It was like playing ad Conan LARPing as The Terminator.
Idk, games that use sprites instead of 3D models for enemies creep me out. And the Doom guy’s face used to scare me as a kid whenever he would get all bloody from low health.
The jump in graphics and level design in doom is just wow.I see why gamers still talk about it to this day.
Terranova (1995), squad based FPS, before its time
very nice vid to watch! but no Duke and no Terminator Rampage? How could you?
When a few guys in a basement with $15 and a bag of chips could make a revolutionary form of entertainment.
1990 fps are pretty scarier than todays fps games
+GianCruz11 [TF2] Yeah... a pixaleted zombie is my worst nightmare...
I like how he includes capstone trash games but not Duke 3d shadow warrior or blood
The golden age of the FPS!
Not even 💀
The golden age was 2010. Soo many damn good fps games came out just that same year alone
@@lordofnuttz101 True. Though today they more than just shoot everything in sight, more complex. Back then it was shoot all that moves.
@@TheGroundedAviator I feel like the older cod games were far more complex and skillful in their design. Black ops zombies might as well be its own separate game. Its definitely pretty tough and challenging as simple as the mode may be in concept.
@@lordofnuttz101 Today all the software and the like does much of the work that once could only done basically by hand on a keyboard.
And doom beats all. Honestly 26 years on and its 3D engine still kicks ass!
Rise of the Triad was so great
definitely stood out from the doom clones
My favourite fps from that era were bungie games. I only had a mac as a kid. The marathon series was the best, precursor to halo for sure. But the first fps I fell in love with was pathways into darkness also by bungie.
Those Wolfendoom versions are the best way to control the classic Wolfenstein games.
Id Sowtware guys were just dropping new revelation bombs with W, D1\2, those Q were like frigging spaceships compared to competitors only Duke cold somehow stand near D1.
correction. stand near quake not doom1.
Why cant you just type the one word titles out
Rise of the Triad was a very good first person shooter. So was Duke Nukem. Warcraft II and Command & Conquer were amazing. Doom 2 of course. I think I played those 5 games more than any others in the 1990s. Loads of fun. Heretic, Hexen, Quake. Played those too. The old games were the best.
Kannatti katsoa peli-video. Frist Person 3D. Löytyi joitakin sellaisia dos-pelejä joita ei ole tullut vielä pelattua.
You left out the Marathon games, which were pretty much the original Halo games.
Jeff The Theorist True. Definitely missing.
Pathways into darkness too... another great bungie fps
Where can I get all this game today ?? I want to play them all cause they looks so interesting
@@ytanonymity3585 i am very late but... are you still interested?
Descent (1994) and Descent 2 (1996) should definitely be mentioned... they beat all other 3D games from those years (except maybe Quake) - real 3D (including 3D models), 6 degrees of freedom, very complex levels, _great_ music and sound...
SilentJohn Late reply I know ;) descent would technically be a “vehicle” shooter? But terminator future shock hat similar specs and was released in 12.31.1995. Maybe the first “real” 3D FPS
most raved about descent, but i couldn't play it, the floating, spinning, 'which way is down?' feel made me feel sick.
I'm surprised to not see System shock on here! Came out right after DOOM . Could actually look around, jump, and crouch. You even had to hack doors and terminals to get to certain places. The cyberspace sections are weird but fun.
Heretic and hexen was my favorite games ♥️
