Hovertank is not a First Person Shooter cause you are driving a tank. Its like calling any Driving game a First Person Shooter, yes the view is First Person but nobody calls Driving games FPS and Hovertank is a driving tank Action game. Catacomb 3D is different cause its an Action game played in First Person view but I do prefer to name Wolfenstein 3D the first cause, in Catacomb 3D you don't have a weapon... ok probably it sounds strange but try playing Catacomb 3D... it feels like a FPS, it even plays like a FPS but at the end you feel Wolfenstein 3D is the first and Catacomb 3D was more of an "experience" Ok I admit Catacomb 3D can be consider the first one, but I will probably always name Wolfenstein 3D the one Don't forget both are from id so id will always be credited as the creators... now if its Catacomb 3D or Wolfenstein 3D I feel its a secondary issue
