Before anyone corrects it on the main page, Battlezone is indeed *considered* to be the first first-person shooter as the description says. Older examples exist, but only as localized games run on mainframes; the Ur-Example trope generally only counts published, commercial/freeware media, not private projects without a larger release. (Otherwise very few things could ever really be called an Ur-Example, since someone else may have come up with them earlier and not published.)

(I didn't write the description, I just noticed the mention. The actual Ur-Example entry in the trope list appears to be correct, to my knowledge, but it's also kind of up to how you define your terms. As ever.)
