Mouse look was a thing in Wolf 3D, and similar to Doom, it did the whole forward/backward bit too. Really weird.

I believe they had a weird hybrid with mouse looking around and also moving forward and back.
It was definitely a time where they were figuring out how to make control schemes work, how to use two-button mice, etc. I remember playing Unreal (not Tournament!) with the numpad and thinking it was great.
wasd-standardization is one of the best breakthroughs in computer gaming in the last 25 or so years.

I donât know if it was in 1.0 but definitely before the final version. I tried it before 1.666 was around and chose to play keyboard only.

Yup, I know it was there later, just not sure if it was always there. I do remember that later versions had significant improvements to their setup utility.
