FPS: First Person Shooter

This documentary clocks at 4 and a half hours, of which the first 2 hours are about the absolute birth of computer shooter games (Wolfenstein, DOOM and Quake) and the second 2 hours are about the more recently released widely popular games like Halo etc.

I was confronted with Wolfenstein in the early eighties and I had a fun blast. But a few years later I underwent "DOOM" and that really blew my mind! And I still think DOOM is one of the best shooter games ever made! It's simplicity, combined with ultimate shock effects, still freak me out some 30 years later. What a thrill ride!

Especially the really early development of 3D visuals on the computer (back in the late seventies) is fun to watch. The guys who invented all these wonderful programs are being interviewed and what achievements they have made for the world of computer gaming.

Nice watch, although quite long, but one can choose what to watch. Interesting insights into this massive virtual world which is the biggest grossing part of the entertainment industry nowadays. Lots of reviews by the makers themselves of all the most popular shooter games. What's not to like?
