Oh yeah, I showed my cousin once how I played Doom with only the keyboard, and that's how I played it well into the 2000s. Yeah, he had no understanding of how I ever managed to do that. I don't even remember how mouse-look worked in "base" Doom.
Trying to recall, might have been Rise of the Triad that was one of the first games with look up/down? I believe Duke3D was the first big hit that had it.

It only controlled lateral looking, not vertical. It's kind of funky.
The original Doom engine couldn't pitch the camera. That's one of the reasons it was fast enough to be (barely) playable on a 386.

System Shock had a 3D engine with mouse look. It came out the same time as Doom. It is still a great game.
