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.
And when you follow your link and click “reviews”, you’ll see that almost all of the positive ones are something like “worth every penny to relive my memories of 40 years ago”.
Yeah I was gonna say games had good stories way before that. He must have meant shooty action games.

“Pioneered” != “the first”
