A list of early FPSes should probably include an game for the TRS-80 Color Computer called Phantom Slayer. I was released in 1982, and involves running through a random maze, in first person, and avoiding or shooting phantoms. You can play it via Mocha, a browser-based java TRS-80 Color Computer emulator. To select the game in question, click Setup, select the BIN tab, then find Phantom Slayer in the list. And along the lines of Ultima Underworld there's another 1982 game for the Color Computer that's sorta midway between a RPG and a FPS, Dungeons of Daggorath. It's another maze crawl, this one fantasy themed. And instead of just mashing on the space bar to shoot things, you've got to deal with fairly complicated inventory, and issue commands to equip and use gear in real time. So you're walking down the hallway by typing MOVE (or just `M'), attacking with the weapon in your right hand with ATTACK RIGHT (or just `A R') and so on. Pretty sophisticated for its time (and the available resource footprint).  You can also play this one via Mocha.
