The OGs like Wolf3D and Doom did not even have mouse support for aiming until much later. Quake's default controls didn't use the mouse, despite it being one of the first FPS games to offer mouse-looking.

I didn't fully embrace the current typical controls until Tribes 2. Before that, I used nothing but the keyboard.

I don't think this is true, at least not for the original PC Doom, but I don't have a record of it handy. shrug

I fudged the phrasing; you could move with the mouse and I think turn with it, you couldn't look up and down. My dad played that way; but he would strafe instead of turn.
