    I don’t think there were multiplayer FPSs until Quake in 1996

      Doom had multiplayer in 1993. It just wasn’t over the internet until WinDoom came along. However, that was still before Quake.

      Both Doom and Duke Nukem had multiplayer before quake came out.

      I played MIDI Maze on Atari ST as a kid, that was long before Quake…

      Later in high school we played Doom over IPX.

      Doom had multiplayer. It didn’t have chat, though.

        I’m pretty sure it did. Used to play on an ipx network we setup at work just for it. I even got it working over tcpip using ipx tunneling.

        Wiki here says it had chat:

        Doom did have text chat, much in the same vein as Quake later on.

        However, Doom originally didn’t have TCP/IP, it only supported IPX/SPX networking on LANs. (Though, why use chat when you can yell.) It also supported point to point modem connections, for which the text chat was probably useful. Later versions of Doom and all modern source ports support TCP/IP though.

        Ah, I didn’t realize the original Doom had multiplayer. It’s a little hard to search for since now all that shows up is online multiplayer mods for it / source ports that came after
