Abandonware DOS title

First person viewpoint games

First-person view (FPV) video games are a type of video game where the player experiences the game world from the perspective of the protagonist or main character. The game's visuals are presented as if the player is looking through the eyes of the character, providing a sense of immersion and realism.

In first-person view games, the player's view is typically represented by a graphical rendering of the character's field of vision, showing what the character would see if they were actually present in the game world. This perspective often includes a virtual representation of the character's hands or body to enhance the immersion.
First person 3D games have their own keyword.
