Wolfenstein 3D is widely known as the very first First Person Shooter that changed gaming forever. One of the most popular shareware games ever for 3 straight years in a row, Wolfenstein 3D puts you in the pants of BJ Blackowicz, an american prisoner of war in a Nazi dungeon where you fight off guards, SS, dogs, zombies, and more assorted nazis! It is a gem every FPS player should have in their games collection!
Wolfenstein 3D , known as the "grandfather of First-person shooters" (technically it was Hovertank 3D) paved the way of a new genre of shooter games in the 90's that will later on inspire the creation of DOOM and the FPS genre as a whole.
Wolfenstein 3D consists of 6 episodes chronicling the adventures of an OSS agent named B.J Blaskowicz, his exploits include foiling nazi chemical operations,escaping a heavily guarded castle, killing a mad scientist and putting a stop to his mutants before finally storming the fuhrer's bunker (alone) and gunning him down into a bloody mush.
The overall design of Wolfenstein 3D is remarkable for it's era with detailed sprites and unique enemy death sequences (the death camera after boss fights is a fun to watch.) difficulty is dependent on how one plays the game, damage is quasi-realistic with point-blank hits dealing fatal consequences (but not that grave).
Wolfenstein 3D was inspired by 2 Apple computer stealth games "Castle Wolfenstein" and "Beyond Castle Wolfenstein.
a prequel standalone mission pack called "Spear of Destiny" was released and followed a single linear progression of levels instead of episodes.
Get Psyched!
The game that started it all.
a perfect nostalgic trip back to a simpler time, when you didn't need fancy graphics to reel in a good crowd :)

fast-paced hitscan action
Wolfenstein 3d is a really good game, finally an old game that isnt to much hard
One of the most challenging games, with puzzles, action and good music
Wolfenstein 3D is considered the granddaddy of FPS shooters.
The game itself is flawed by today's standards due to extremely confusing and dated map layouts, but it's still enjoyable to mow down the 3rd Reich and their mutant experiments with your chaingun.
Guten tag!
Many talk of the Legendary FPS games and many talk of DooM, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Hexen, Heretic, and Wolfenstein 3D.
