Does 3D games without texture mapping even exists? It might just be the journalist trying to say as many techie words as possible(or i might just be way too young )

Wolfenstein was like the first 3D game though

Also I'd like to mention that there's a video on vimeo of the creation of DOOM, I'm going to try and find it real quick, I think you guys would get a kick out of it, its really cool.

Edit: FOUND IT! http://vimeo.com/4022128

Cool video, Carmack is one of my favorite programmers.

BTW
Texture mapping was around much longer, however it was new for real-time video games at time.

And Wolfenstein was first 3d FPS game, not first 3d game.

Oops, meant to say one of the first... not the first

There were plenty of 3D games before texture mapping.

They used gradients, flood fill and wireframes.
