Please feel free to download this abandonware title Hovertank from 1991.
Description
This is the first 1st person shooter of all time, if I am well informed. This game is from the same guys who made Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, etc. They also made Commander Keen, but that's not 1st person shooter is it?
The game consists of several levels in which you have to rescue hostages in a maze. You do this by directing your Hovertank through it. Of course there are also monsters to get rid of. Each level more creatures are spawned. You have to be very quick, because when the creatures touch the hostages they will be killed. After all hostages are saved (or a part of them) and all creatures destroyed you can warp back to the lab for a new assignment.
Run the game using DOSBox at 9000 cycles.

Also, I noticed that you said Softdisk made Wolfenstein, Doom, Commander Keen, etc. Thats not true. Commander Keen and Wolfenstein were made by Apogee Software and ID Software, unless you count Keen Dreams. That one was by Softdisk, but Softdisk is not part of 3D Realms, which is what Apogee changed there name to or ID Software, even though one of there former employees created the companies. | |

The info given is not 100% correct. This is not the first FPS game. According to Wikipedia, the game Maze War is the first. Heres the links, if your interested. | |
