Ultima Underworld wasn't the first game ever to feature real time first-person environments. Catacomb Abyss preceeded it by about 5 months. Quite possibly there were others before that one as well.

If you want to dig real deep, you could say that the (

I remember playing Mercenary on my old Atari 800XL back in '89. It was all vector graphics, but damn if it wasn't 3D and realtime as hell. Or you could go with Damocles, which came out in '90 and used proper flat shaded polygons.

Oh, I know. I was just stating that iD themselves preceded Catacomb 3-D with a 3D game themselves.
