Wolfenstein 3D wasn't even id's first FPS, let alone the world's:
Catacombs 3D used a similar engine (although for EGA instead of VGA),
and the even older Hovertank 3D could probably be classified as a
first-person shooter.

Nor was Doom the first multiplayer FPS. That honour probably goes to
MIDI Maze.

Although it's probably true that Wolf3D, and to a greater extent Doom,
ushered in the modern FPS era...
