Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's quite an eyeopener to see how things have changed in about 15 years.

Enjoy

Some of those dates are off, but its still a good trip down memory lane.

Some other 'gob smacking' graphics for its time:
Magic Carpet
Commanche Maximum Overkill
Dungeon Keeper
Decent (Proper 3D pre-Quake in 1994) - Another fun fact; Decent supported Stereoscopic 3D
Outcast

With everything currently being rendered in 3D, all the graphics are starting to look the same to me. I loved the old days when graphics were still hand drawn!

EPIC game that, I loved it! No-one saw me for a week after that game was installed

How could I forget System Shock - This was release just 1 year after Doom. You could look up and down, jump and climb ladders and had slanted floors, walls and ceilings. It also had an RPG UI with inventory and stats like many use today, but somehow slipped under the radar after its release. A true classic.

Who remembers Links Golf? 3D Graphics rendered in front of your eyes!! (literally)

Does anyone remember the early FMV games, like Return to Zork and that Star Wars: Rebel Assault (the one that got shipped with the Creative Multimedia CD-ROM/soundcard kits)?

Those aren't really 3D graphics, they use the same line of sight trick that the early FPS games did.
