What are some good old school FPS games that are not Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, Unreal, Serious Sam, Half Life, or Hexen?

(Bonus points if they are on steam)

I played Wolfenstein and Blake Stone a lot when I was a kid. Blake Stone is on gog.com, not Steam.

Someone's going to say Goldeneye.

Hard Reset is a recent throwback FPS.

Rise of the Triad. Blood 1 and 2. Shadow Warrior. Witchaven 1 and 2. Eradicator.

None on Steam, some on GOG, but all well worth getting.

Painkiller is a good doom like FPS, they are doing an HD remake soon I believe.

Klingon Hono(u)r Guard. Blood. Shadow Warrior.

I remember one that might have been a bit religion-y or angelic but I can't remember the name. Ahh Requiem Avenging Angel. And below: RTC Wolfenstein I have amazing memories of but I could be wrong.

I second Blood.

Goldeneye hasn't aged too well, I'd suggest playing Goldeneye: Source on the PC if you're really craving that game. The original tends to drop to about six frames a second in 4-man splitscreen.

Descent was my favorite, possibly too hectic and disorienting for some though.

Rise of the Triad

You play as a dog. Also you're a wizard.

Outlaws was a pretty sweet Western that LucasArts made after Dark Forces. One of those few games where you could take the game CD and listen to the soundtrack in a CD player. It was a great soundtrack too!
