First-person shooter games show the world through your eyes. You aim and shoot weapons in these games. The first game like this was called Spacewar! in 1962. Early arcade games used different views, not first-person. Wolfenstein 3D in 1992 is often called the first real FPS game. Doom in 1993 was cited as the most influential game in that category. This was the golden age of FPS games. Games like Quake and Half-Life came out then. Half-Life in 1998 added stories and movie-like parts. Games like Call of Duty and Battlefield became huge. The FPS genre started to lose some popularity around 2010. Games like Call of Duty shifted focus away from pure shooting. Battlefields added new game modes too.
