Descent. The first time I saw it, it blew my mind. I became obsessed with it for ages afterwards. I'd never seen anything quite like it. For those who don't know, it was a sci-fi shooter. Mining robots throughout the solar system had gone crazy and started attacking miners. You, the Material Defender, had to fly a fighter craft through the mines, rescue the hostages, and then destroy the reactor and escape before the mine self destructed. Played from a first-person perspective, you had a full 6 degrees of freedom. Want to fly through the levels upside down? No problem. Lots of secrets and memorable enemies, it came out in 1994, but still holds up today.
