Hovertank 3D

One of the first games of iD Software. Sometimes it's claimed to be the first FPS or even first 3D game for DOS. The game used the same combination of scaled sprites and drawn walls that would later show up in Catacomb...

Hovertank 3D description

The First FPS under DOS. Officially.

Yes, the graphics are weak. Yes, there is no colorful music or crazy plot. It's simple - we, the humble pilot of the tank on an air cushion, running through the corridors, Gasim different creatures (most of which was the inspiration for the creatures in the first DooM) and save their captive people.

One of the interesting pleasures - effect "jiggling" on an air cushion, able to be less persistent players before pouring all experiences on the keyboard; "live" sound recorded for playback through a PC Speaker than ever before are actively indulged in only text adventure from Legend Yes rare earth hit Mach 3... and, of course, the engine from John Carmack. Of course, at that time nobody expected that he will miss the stars from the sky... But he already showed all his programmers ' power.

Summary. Somewhat monotonous, but no less interesting for this research subject. Besides, it really is The very First. This is important, my friends. This is very important.
