Evolution of first person shooters on PC

Page 1 of 4

I thought it would be interesting for everyone to see, how PC game graphics got better through the years. Here are screenshots of most of the best PC first person shooters of all time ordered by time of release. Scroll through, enlarge ones you would like and be stunned by how much better today's PC games look if you compare them to the old ones. Enjoy!

Doom 1993
Descent 1995
Duke Nukem 3D 1996
Quake 1996

Outlaws 1997
Quake II 1997
Unreal 1998
Half-Life 1998
Counter Strike 1999
Unreal Tournament 1999

You should add some, if not all, of the Rainbow Six series. They really defined the Strategic/Tactical FPS games.

Why is the Doom screenshot from Doom 2? I do realize there wasn't really any difference in the engine but I'm pretty sure that's Level 2 from Doom 2.

Also, the No One Lives Forever screenshots look like they're from the same game. Even the guy in the suit and glasses has the same blood spot.

Although, you have the games that they're based on (Half-Life and Half-Life 2), why not have Counter-Strike/Counter-Strike: Source on there?

Also, Quake 4 and maybe Enemy Territory: Quake Wars if only to just complete the series.

Nice list though.
