What was the first game to feature recharging energy shields?

Y'know...the thing that's in [i]every[/i] sci-fi game now?

@Fangirlsarah1996 Merhaps... But ey, at least Halo has a bit more than just "regenerating health" I love the health and shield thing!! It's like a mix between cod and doom! .... Okay well.. Health can only take about 4 bullets compared to the shield but, I DIGRESS!! ᶘ ͡°ᴥ͡ °ᶅ/🍯

Fairly certain that was Halo 1.

@Fangirlsarah1996 Hmm, come to think of it; star wars had a lot of tie fighter and other space type games in the past; I wouldn't be surprised if at least one or so had a regen energy shield. But that is I guess definitely not like the modern FPS gaming energy shield at all.

@Teirdalin I mean a lot of games had shields, but back then they were just powerups that you collected...

@Teirdalin They were definitely in Marathon, I played the first two through to the end.

Spindizzy in the early 80s is the earliest I can recall

@firefall So, they had shields before shields were cool?

@firefall Looking it up online, isn't that just a marble madness type game?
