Before the turn of the Millennium, before Halo or Call of Duty, before Battlefield, Killzone, or Crysis, the FPS genre was a very different beast to what it is today.

Of the FPS games released prior to the year 2000, which is the best in your opinion, and why?

Half Life cause it excelled at virtually every aspect when it came out.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Half-life, a true cinematic experience.

Half Life. No question for me. It completely blew my mind at the time.

I didn't touch a console after that came out until the PS2.

Half-Life. I've had more, even much more, fun with other FPS games from the era, but Half-Life was so much more, and I can appreciate it.

World War I.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
