          Wolfenstein 3D!

          Wolfenstein 3D is one of the most exciting first person shoot em up video games! The characters, monsters, and the action makes this game a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

          Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

          Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially for the PC and Super Nintendo. The backgrounds are really beautiful!

          Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!

          Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

          Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

          Overall: I have always loved Wolfenstein 3D! If you like excellent shoot em up games then I strongly recommend you play this game!

          To purchase this video game check out Amazon.com!

          Classic!

          This one is a real childhood treat. Still playable, still fun and still cool. You are an American agent trapped in the castle of Wolfenstein, which is full of Nazi soldiers, ghosts, dogs, robots and Hitler himself! You got 5, 6 episodes and you can chose to play a classic cube like stories, just go around and shot Germans... I enjoyed this very much and other spin offs and 2001 video game. While the 2009 game, ruined the impression. Wanna play this? Go ahead. Have fun. Classic at best.

          This game came out before Doom and it was perfect first person shooter to practice on it, before other games came out. This one has a special place in your heart, if you are a fan of first person shooters.

          In The Beginning...

          In today's video game culture, first-person shooters reign supreme, from the classic "Goldeneye" of Nintendo '64 fame to current titles such as Halo and the Call of Duty series. There was a time (early 1990s), however, when this was not the case, and it took one game to begin the revolution...Wolfenstein 3D.

          Set in a prisoner-of-war camp in the heart of Nazi Germany, early 1990s gamers were introduced to the FPS genre in the form of one B.J. Blazkowicz and this single sentence: "You crouch over the guard's body, hoping that the others didn't hear his muffled scream...". From there, gamers were given almost total control of the character in order to complete each stage (primarily accomplished by finding the elevator door after taking out room after room of Nazi baddies).

          In hindsight, the game had a few flaws, primarily being the maze-like environment that turns some levels into nothing more than prolonged searches for keys to enter the locked doors, as well as some levels that will test even the most patient of gamers with their enormity. But all told, it was nothing short of revolutionary in its treatment of the video game platform. It even "guessed right" in using a wartime scenario to detract from some criticism (the same reason why COD is so popular, yet other FPS's are so demonized).

          Thus, this game (provided you have a computer old enough to run it, or know how to install DOSBox!) really can be enjoyed by two different types of gamers: 1. For nostalgic purposes; and 2. For those who currently enjoy the genre to see how it all began (and still play a heckuva game in the process!).

          THE 1st Person Shooting Classic!

          Wolfenstein 3D is one of the best and one of the most enduring games ever. the graphics are good(for that time) and the tension and excitement is perfect. Of course the idea behind it is very effective,killing of Nazi's in all their forms even the evil AH himself.

          I've played this game millions of times but it still doesn't get boring or easy because of the difficulty levels. This game was the starting point of 1st person shooters and made other classics like Doom and Unreal(my personal favorite!) possible.

          TRIBUTE!! 10/10

          A classic

          This was one of the first games I beat as a snot-nosed punk kid. It was violent, hardcore, scary, and I LIKED IT.

          I loved shooting and killing the dogs. They tried to mess with me and I didn't play around.

          This game had some sweet fire arms such as a pistol, machine gun and a bazooka. There is an ammo limit, therefore you must always stay stocked up. Every NPC has a weapon, though you can go through a few levels with your knife only.

          The game was mainly trying to escape a Hydra Base, going through various levels versus various bots that were mostly unintelligent yet funny.

          I liked the health bar of William Joseph "B. J." Blazkowicz.of him going from healthy to beat up.

          Another cool thing is the secret entrances in every level. Some were small others were big others were creative.

          The graphics were great for its time. The gameplay was also phenomenal.

          W3D is a legend and a father of 1st person shooters.

          • Trivia
            E2M8 is impossible to complete with 100% in all categories, due to there being a push-wall maze on the maps that was intended to be part of a contest, which required a sign to be found saying "Call Apogee Say 'Aardwolf'". However, the contest was aborted when the game came out, but the sign was left in. In hindsight, the developers said that they should've removed the sign before release, because they were flooded with calls and mails by players asking what it was about. In later versions, it was replaced with a standard prop from the game.
          • Goofs
            Although Wolfenstein 3D takes place during World War 2, the enemy soldier getting knocked down by B.J. Blazkowicz on the box cover of the game, is carrying an M16. That weapon didn't exist until 1960.
          • Crazy credits
            Voluntarily rated PC-13
          • Alternate versions
            The Apple, 3DO, and Jaguar versions all featured improved sound effects and music, and high-resolution graphics. Most notably, the Apple and PC version had different introduction and end level screens. The 3DO and Jaguar versions featured weapon sprites from Doom (1993) and Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994), respectively.
