Story Notes: Derpy Accidentally a Portal Gun IV · 3:54am Apr 2nd, 2017
The tradition continues!
metallusionismagic, AShadowOfCygnus, and Shachza pre-read and offered helpful suggestions, mostly at the very last minute, 'cause that's how I roll. I probably ought to have gotten it done sooner, but as the saying goes, if my grandma had wheels she'd be a wagon.
The truth is, the only first person shooter I've played for any length of time is Castle Wolfenstein, and I bet some of you are probably wondering what that was.
There's probably not a whole lot of new research in this story; it's kind of the logical progression in the series. Technically, it's sort of the fifth, but The 2016 Presidential Election Comes to Equestria was sort of a series reboot or something. There was portalization in it, though, so it totally counts as part of the series.

Wolfenstein 3D was one of the first shooters I've played. :3
(I thought it was a horror game.)
Castle Wolfenstein... Inglourious Basterds would approve of it.
All I remember from that game is ILM.
Man it's been awhile.

For me, first, and pretty much only. I played a little bit of Doom, and I've probably held the controls a little bit in a few other games, but I really don't have much experience at first-person games.

Yes, they would.

I haven't played it since the 90s. I wonder if it's still installed on my 386 desktop? Kinda tempted to dig that thing back out and see if it is.
lol I don't even.
I'm resonably sure Wolfenstein was the first FPS I played as well. imo, best floppy disk I ever owned. Doom followed, but interestingly, I had gotten it on CD, at a time when you were the cool kid on the block if you had a cd drive in your pc. I think I had the demo on floppy - hell, who didn't? Eventually my older brother took me to an internet cafe to play Counter Strike, and that started a chain reaction that led to my becoming computer savvy and leading a large gaming community.

>a 386
The first machine I ever used was a 486! This was the only game I ever played on it:

(The touch typing part didn't stick, apparently.)
Apparently they had a lot more games for the system on floppies, mostly adventure games, but I was too young to play those I guess. Ah, memories...
