i remember the first shooting game in 3-d that i play was blake stone in the late 90s maybe 97 or 98. it a demo on floppy disk for computer. i had so much fun with that game. there are no polygons on that game, so the characters look pixilated and i like the innocent part of me that time about not knowing what pixelation or polygons is.
i remember walking down one of the hall in this building in the game, and i approach a scientist, and this scientist asked me, "do you know what time is it?" Then the scientist said, "its time for you to die." that was freaky as he pulled out a gun and shoot me. I remember the game is about killing monsters probably aliens, bad scientists, and soldiers too -if i remember correctly. although it was a demo only, but i had great fun playing it quite a number of times from either after i got killed or replay it to explore the area more.
Afterward, i try Doom and i think its also a demo but i didn't really explore the area much. i think i load one of the save file and it show enemies or soldiers already dead in the game laying down on the floor - either that or the cave building place is empty. i explore for a little bit but i couldn't find any monsters or soldiers to attack. maybe the save data already had most of the enemies and soldiers killed or something. i played a little bit of it once then i stop.
From experience, i can understand why people like 3-D shooting game so much. But unfortunately, i mostly lost interest in videogames though 4 - 5 years later after high school. too much addiction to gaming is bad, but too little to no interest in gaming is not good either to me.
