Based on the way the OP was phrased, I'm assuming they aren't old enough to have lived through that period of time. I'm not gonna spend time trying to back this up with proof, but here's my 2 cents as someone who was there.
Obviously most early games were third-person, but early first-person games weren't labeled as such. No one made a point of referring to early flight-sims as "first-person" games, nor were early FPS's referred to as such. Wolfenstein, Doom and the like were "3D" (or "virtual reality," though that's just ad copy - no one actually said that.)
The terms "first-person" and "third-person" as the OP seems to mean them, probably originated in response to one-another. Not until 3D over-the-shoulder perspective games came about was it suddenly necessary to make a distinction between a 1st-person shooter and a 3rd-person shooter. Because in this sense, "third-person" is a very specific over-the-shoulder 3D perspective, and doesn't apply to any other third-person perspective where the player's character is visible on screen, like side-scrollers, platformers, fighting games, etc.
There will be instances of the terms being used prior to that I'm sure, but as I remember it, the terms as the OP seems to be using them didn't become widely used until both types of games existed concurrently.

Like you just said, that's a print mag (lots of print mags also have digital editions.) A quick check of eBay shows that it's still being published in print form in present day.

I'm not sure if we've got any online magazines in our database, either. I vaguely recall a discussion about the pros/cons of the possibility of including fanzines and e-zines several years ago, but I can't find it now.

I think it was decided at some point not to host digital e-mags here, only scans of print mags. But you've done the next best thing. As long as they're somewhere people can access them, it's all good.

Good to see you back Kitsunebi. Was following you on archive.org in the meantime.
Yeah, Oldgamemags is still my homebase where all of my scans go first. I'd been mirroring them at archive, and now I'm taking up mirroring them here as well. Because not everyone frequents every other site - some people here never look anywhere BUT here, and I want my scans to reach as many people as possible.
