Origin (aug 21, 1973 – nov 1, 1980)

Description:

Back in the 1970s, when the personal computers graphics skills were overwhelmed by home machines, a variety of horizontal action-adventure games on Atari's mainframe were prevalent, and the PC games were only limited to text adventures. Not many game developers were willing to develop games for the PC, which was lagging behind in performance. It was really difficult to show the effect that the developers wanted on PC.

But at this time, two unprecedented games appeared on the PC, namely Spasim and Maze war. Due to the poor image processing performance of the PC, it emerged as a pseudo-first-person picture structured by vectors and lines.

This was almost unimaginable at that time to play video games at a first-person perspective. Maze War and Spasim, however, pioneered the genre.
