The granddaddy of the FPS defined the genre with its breakneck pace and claustrophobic maze-like levels. Wolfenstein 3D's simple yet satisfying gameplay loop, built around rapid-fire gunplay and relentless enemy hordes, spawned a thousand imitators. Its influence is still felt in the tight corridors, secret rooms, and the sheer, brutal efficiency with which you mow down Nazis.
