First-Person Shooter games in video game history

The FPS puts the player in the character's shoes, gun in hand, in a world seen in first person. Doom, in 1993, set the codes on PC; GoldenEye 007 then established it on consoles; Half-Life added ambitious storytelling, before Halo and Call of Duty made it the king of online multiplayer.

Its milestones are famous: Doom founded the genre, GoldenEye 007 proved an FPS could triumph on consoles, Half-Life raised it to narrative art and Halo 2 launched the modern online-shooter era. Perfect Dark, BioShock and TimeSplitters complete a major lineage.

For collectors, the FPS ranges from hugely distributed blockbusters to sought-after exclusives and collector's editions. On RomWize, every FPS is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region; the 'by console' section above helps you explore the best, machine by machine.
