Marathon came out in 1994. The Bards tale: Tales of the Unknown came out in 1985, and definitely had a story and used environmental storytelling in the form of clues to find about the various maps a decade before Marathon. For that matter Ultima and Wizardry predate the bards tale, but not by near as much.
Yeah, I bet you could also find counter examples of and FPS and alt-fire and Dual wielding from before Marathon. I know for a fact that MUD's existed before then.
And I’d hardly call those point and click / text based adventures “games” in the same sense as marathon or doom. You’d never go back and play them without a mountain of personal nostalgia, whereas new players enjoy shit like doom and Tetris every day. They basically were interactive stories without much at all resembling “gameplay”.
You are talking out of your ass, these aren't the Serria games you are like Myst that you are thinking of. There is no pointing and clicking. Begone, Tourist.
WTF are you on about?

probably a mac oldhead. it was an OK game for it's time. technically, it was impressive, for a mac.
Just proving that mac fags, like console peasants, aren't people.
Yeah I was gonna say games had good stories way before that. He must have meant shooty action games.

“Pioneered” != “the first”
