===Rise in popularity: 1992β1995=== The first major influential FPS was ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' ([[1992 in video gaming|1992]]), which has been credited with creating the basic archetype upon which subsequent titles were based. This game popularized the genre and lead to the next major FPS hit, ''[[DOOM]]'' (1994), which broke many of the boundaries in ''Wolfenstein'' and set the bar for several years worth of games. ''DOOM'' was perhaps the most influential first-person shooter. ''DOOM'' was so popular that many subsequent games in the next few years were referred to as "Doom clones".
