It was about 10 years ago when the first 3D game appeared on the market. They have been ego shouter games. The action was mainly about solving missions out of the ego perceptive. Also there was already the possibility to play on maps in virtual worlds. On maps you can play with other human beeings interactive and not only against computer generated competitors.

The game Doom was developed by ID. www.IDsoftware.com. Wolfenstein 3D was less successful, because it did not`t have a multiplayer function and for other reasons. Still it was an inspiring source for further developments. ID is still leading in multiplayer network and Internet games.

Their games are always most inventive and the game play is amazing on on hand, but also very criticized on the other. Anyway because of the great demand from the first PC gamers ID continued to perfectionize Doom. Doom 2, Ultimate Doom and Final Doom followed. A real community of Gamers started to be formed. These communities constantly gained growth and competed against each other only via Internet.
