Developed by id Software in 1992, Wolfenstein 3D is a ground-breaking and critically acclaimed, World War II, first-person shooter action game that started the modern-day FPS genre.
Story
World War II rages. You are William ""B.J."" Blazkowicz, the Allies' most trusted agent. The Nazis are planning Operation Eisenfaust, a project to build an unstoppable, mutant army. Your mission was to steal the secret plans, but you were captured and imprisoned in Castle Wolfenstein. Now, a lucky break gives you the chance to make your escape, but a maze of passages and trigger-happy Nazis stand in your way.
'Spear of Destiny' Expansion Included
In this prequel to Wolfenstein 3D, you are William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, the Allies' most valuable agent. During the German Blitzkrieg of World War II, the spear that pierced the side of Christ is stolen from Versailles by the Nazis and secured in Castle Nuremberg. According to legend, no man can be defeated when he wields the spear. Your mission is to infiltrate the heavily guarded Nazi stronghold and recapture the Spear of Destiny before it’s too late.

The best way to get this game to run on Mac is to install it with Wineskin Winery. Install Boxer App and take the folder out of the wine bottle and drop it in the Boxer App. Zero stuttering. You can also do this with Spear of Destiny as well.
This one started FPS for me. At the time, I was hooked. This was a fun simple game to go back and play. The most difficult level is still frustrating as a single gunshot will get you killed, just as I remember it.
Spear of Destiny also as I remembered. More of the same, but still fun.
I remember playing this game back in the '90s on an old 486 with my friends... I bought it again just for nostalgia's sake but it's clearly outdate on every front: graphics, sounds, gameplay, extras...
I only suggest you to buy if you miss your childhood (or if you direly need to shoot pixelated nazis).
If you give this less than 5 stars, especially if you give it 3 stars then you're clueless and your opinion is irrelevant.
This is video gaming history...and it reshaped everything. Giving this a 3 is like giving Einstein's theory of realitivity a 6 or 7 out of 10... Although, I imagine video game history is less relevant or important than that...everything is relative...
I played this back in the 90s near when it first came out. I originally thought it was DOOM as my friend had some version of DOOM that he was playing. I quickly discovered that this wasn't DOOM...
However. I still found it to be very enjoyable and played it for many years. "EIIIII-!" "SPHYON!"
Anyone who thinks that they can objectively rate this beneath a 5 is a fool, especially a 4...Doom 1 and 2 which inspired every other great shooter in the world was inspired by this game... (It was the same guys behind it's creation...)
Of course it's dated, do you expect it to be fresh/ new and revolutionary for the next 30 years? The game is ancient... video games have long ago taken from it, copied it and done more and have done it better... But of course that is an evolutionary process... Calling this dated is like saying single cell organisms were dated....
This game was a work of genius.
If you play this, take it for what it is, don't expect it to be on par with modern FPS shooters, I mean that's common sense.... It still has a charm/ thrill of it's own. It has a classic fun sound track, and the villians are still fun to play against. The game was always a little bit goofy but was taken more seriously back in the day as it was the most realistic shooter...It was meant to be a little funny, unlike Doom... It had made far more advances than MOST if not ALL shooters (since for it's time). This game and then Doom is a work of pure genius, DOOM giving the illusion of variable heights which wasn't in WOLF3D but WOLF3D inspired DOOM. I'm sure someone is rating DOOM below a 5 here too...
