Basically what’s a game that you’ve played that seemed so mind blowingly unique at the time but for one reason or another the game never took off and other developers didn’t pick up and run with it either.

WASD and mouselook was introduced in Quake I think. People were definitely using WASD in Doom and Duke Nukem 3D but not in the same way as they weren’t proper 3D games.
