Anyone know what was the first FPS where you had to aim vertically as well as horizontally? I remember playing duke nekum with a joystick..... Can't do that anymore

juiio - Sorry, but you're mistaken. Freelook was one of the things added by jDoom.
belboz - I wouldn't classify Descent as an FPS, but some might. It was more of an indoor flight sim to me.

I dunno, I only played it a little bit, but from what I remember, it played like an FPS. You had a first person perspective. You were flying a "ship," but that was sort of irrelevant. It could have been a mech or a human with a jet pack or whatever.
You "flew" through hallways picking up ammo, weapons, and power-ups. You put anything you wanted dead in your cross hairs and pressed fire. Pretty much classic FPS gameplay. The main difference was that it took place in zero G with flight physics. So you had to control roll as well as forward/backward and strafe.

I'm up to level 25 in Doom II.
They TOTALLY ripped off Alice in Chains.
The music for level 23 is Them Bones
The music for level 25 is the opening for Angry Chair repeated for the whole song.
Both songs from the Alice in Chains album Dirt, which was released a couple years before Doom II.
