The grand daddy of first-person shooters

Great game and the grand daddy of the FPS genre. While it isn't the first FPS game ever, it's one that set the standard for future games. While it looks extremely dated compared to modern games, it's still a fun and enjoyable old school experience that is worth the play even if just to see where the FPS genre started. Plus who hasn't wanted to mow down some Nazis with a chain gun? I see some people complaining about the price here but... were it just Wolf3D by itself, $10 might seem a little steep. But you're getting Wolf3D and the Spear of Destiny episodes, so you're getting two games instead of one. If you just want the Wolf3D episodes then 3DRealms has it on their site for less than $5. Either way, you're paying for a great game.

Run it via ecwolf. Tedious otherwise!

I played the hell out of this game on a Gravis Gamepad when it was first released. It worked well for me then, but when I tried to play it at the tail end of 2018, I found that no control configuration worked for me in the original engine. It's really a pain in the butt having to hold a button and left / right button to strafe! Enter ecwolf. Ecwolf enables true strafing via a single key and an automap feature that is OPTIONAL. If you're a purist, no need to bring up the map. But even having grown up with this game since its release, I find that certain elements, such as the labyrinthine map design, recycled / monotonous wall textures, and lack of distinct areas makes the automap a very much welcome feature for me, and one that enabled me to enjoy revisiting all six episodes in the modern age. The graphics are nothing to write home about, but the sound design holds up well. There's a wonderful weight to the thud of the submachine gun and a satisfying shatter / crackle to the chaingun when they fire. And the German phrases the various soldiers shout as they are alerted to your presence or die... Just classic. While the game mechanics are simple, once you have a control scheme that is suitable for you, you'll find that the game's rapid pace is a welcome reprieve from the dreadfully deliberate and slow gameplay of most of today's FPS. The game does not hold up perfectly, but it can still hold up well, if you run it via ecwolf!

Wolf & Spear .. A lot of fun!

Wolfenstein 3d & Spear of Destiny are like Wolfenstein 1 & 2. I don't know how many hours I spent going through the levels (corridors) of these games, but it was many. There was no internet in my area when this game first came out. I got the game, level editor, new levels, addons and etc, from a near by BBS. I was pretty much addicted to wolf3d & spear. I made lots of levels over the years and enjoyed playing those made by others. Wolf3d still has a large following and one can get everything from basic mods to total conversions. If you want to have even more fun with wolf3d, just visit some of those fan sites like - Wolfenstein 3D Dome. Over the years many newer games have be spawned from the ideas and design of Wolfenstein 3d. Even newer / more modern Wolfenstein games. Yes, the old wolf3d game is dated, but it is still lots of fun to play. The first computer I played wolf & spear on was a Tandy 286. I had added a soundcard, vga-card and svga monitor. Anyway, a real Good Old Game.

Respect the elders

Is this the best FPS game ever made? No, that would be Doom. However, Wolfenstein 3D is a key step in the gaming evolution from a historical perspective, but most importantly - it is still a great fun! And at the end of the day having fun is one of the most important things in life and the reason why we play video games, isn't it? It has it's flaws for today's standards (after all it was made in 1992), but its charm is undeniable. And, of course, it made a star of one of the greatest bad-asses in gaming - William Joseph "B. J." Blazkowicz.

What? 4 stars? Please read this review!

Unlike Doom, or Quake, this game aged well, which is curious, because it's the first of them all. The perfection of this game resides on its simplicity, since no one buys an early 90's FPS looking for intricate mechanics or photorealistic graphics, but for pure fun. And this game is pure fun. More than 100 levels to explore and master. Secrets to discover. Bad guys to shoot and records to beat! Simple and fun. A Masterpiece for what it is - The Father of FPS!
