First-person shooter
First-person shooter (FPS) is a video game genre centered around gun and other weapon-based combat in a first-person perspective; that is, the player experiences the action through the eyes of the protagonist.

Since the genre's inception, advanced 3D and pseudo-3D graphics have challenged hardware development, and multiplayer gaming has been integral. The first-person shooter genre has been traced as far back as "Maze War", development of which began in 1973, and 1974's "Spasim". Later, and after more playful titles like "MIDI Maze" in 1987, the genre coalesced into a more wantonly violent form with 1992's "Wolfenstein 3D", which has been credited with creating the genre's basic archetype, that subsequent titles were based upon.

For example, the failures of "E.T." and "Pac-Man" for the Atari 2600 contributed to the video game crash of 1983.
