You right, I forgot which one came first

Not that I don’t think Doom isn’t a good answer, mind you. There is a reason “Can you run Doom on that” is a thing

If you want to get technical, the first was arguably 3D Monster Maze, released in 1981. There was also Battlezone, again 1981 - though it’s debatable whether it counts as an FPS.
A more accurate answer would be id’s own Catacomb 3D, from 1991.
Wolf 3D definitely wasn’t the first by any stretch

Oh cool, did not even know about Monster Maze or Catacomb 3d. I’ll have to check them out. Monster Maze looks more survival than shooter, bit still in that vein for sure.
