I wasn't trying to do that.
I'm talking aiming at a screen and pulling a trigger. Duck Hunt, Time Crisis.

Lightgun games. You are thinking of lightgun games. ANybody can play a lightgun game. You point and shoot. You don't have to move, except when movement is automated.
Mechanical differences between lightgun games and FPSes are enormous, regardless of superficially similar perspective.

Cute. I like you.
We both know that what today is known as the FPS evolved from the lightgun game in the arcade. Would Doom even work in the arcade? Doom multiplayer obviously could but could the singleplayer game?

Don't condescend to me. I'm not the one.
And no, we don't know anything of the kind. You have in no way been able to draw a relationship between FPS games (Wolfenstein being the earliest I can think of) and lightgun games. FPS games did not evolve form lightgun game.s They evolved from sidescrolling shooters, but first person shooters are an inherently PC genre.
No, Doom wouldn't work in an arcade. No standardized arcade controls would be able ot emulate a keyboard.
