I'd say Wolfenstein 3D is right there. Without Wolfenstein there wouldn't be Doom.

Wolfenstein 3D was an evolutionary stepping stone to Doom sure, but you can say that about any game which came before.

Doom really was a huge step up over and above Wolfenstein. Game play, visuals, realism, mood. I remember as a kid playing doom late at night in the dark and actually feeling a bit scared. Nothing before could ever do that.
