Some people still think Wolfenstein 3D was the first FPS. Ironically, I'd like to point out that at one of those parties somebody showed off a horribly slow but fun game that had you running around a 3D maze and shooting stick figures (the crosshair was always in the middle of the screen, and I believe that the stick figure moved back and forth).
One party he unveiled his new creation - one of the first BBSes in the area. The community was still mostly Ham types who could soldier, and one threw a big BBQ twice a year at his small farm. My Dad got me into it - he was logging into some system via TeleNet back at the very end of the 70s for something having to do with Scientific Products. I even got paid for two of them, and did many installs and configurations, some for friends, some as consulting work. I SysOped a half dozen boards from 1981 to 1993. Any program that used BIOS calls for i/o could run under it - in fact the core BBS program itself was just a regular program with no modem handling routines whatsoever - you just loaded the TSR, and told an init style program what to use as the inital login program. I still like how Searchlight worked - redirect BIOS and DOS display routines (basically stdout), and emulate color changes and positioning using ANSI.
At least three Apple ][ had a *very* good Basic in ROM), and all menus, functions, etc were hardcoded. Early on (circa 1981), they were all custom built. I think it was c-net (the Amiga client) that ruled 407 for awhile - and also WWIV for awhile, Searchlight, and Renegade towards the end before I left the community.
