The classic returns
This was basically the title that lunched the first person shooter. While Doom gets more press it was this game that started a new direction for gaming originally published by apogee 17 years ago. it is still an great play even now and carries enough of an legacy that id returned to it with a quake 3 remake and a coming up sequel to that remake powered by the doom 3 engine. the first shareware episode is a remake of the Castle Wolfenstine by muse which this game was inspired by so much so that id legal had to dig for the rights to the name. The full version contains 5 additional episodes witch throw out WW2 realism in favor of killing Nazi mutants with pistols in there chests and Hitler in a mechanized suit. originally put out as a dos title it has seen bunches of retail issues leaving three copies of the current version "1.4". The version sold here by Apogee3DR is version 1.4g. That version includes the apogee logo and graphics set including the old order info for the game. For a while GT interactive (now Atari) sold wolf 3d with the hint book included and removed the apogee logo (replaced with a GT logo) and order info this version also ended up in the gt distributed id anthology. the one sold on GOG.com and the last Retail copy put out by Activision is similar the the last retail 1.4 but uses a activision logo on the setup screen. all three are the same game apogee did sell for a short time a 1.4 without cheats so if you buy a old set of wolf 3d floppies online the cheat codes may be removed. This is a must get game for any fps fan.
