Wolfenstein 3D is Back.
Considered the Granddaddy of first person 3D shooters. This shoot em up game is widely regarded as having helped popularize the first person shooter genre and setting the standard of fast paced graphical action for many of the subsequent games in the genre.
This game came out in 1992 and was an immediate success. It was first available on Microsoft’s DOS. I don’t think there are too many out there who will remember that operating system, but the game remained popular despite it’s rudimentary graphics. Although the game is called Wolfenstein 3D the graphics are presented in 2D and allows your player to move around in all directions to give you the 3D element.
Today Wolfenstein 3D is considered a cult classic. It was never developed for newer systems that came out and many have forgotten about it as newer games with better more realistic graphics have come along in recent years.
Fortunately, today’s internet is quick enough that you can now play the original Wolfenstein 3D game from your web browser.
The game plays with the above link and from there you’ll have to blast your way out of the concentration camp and make your escape.
For sure, you’ll find it entertaining and perhaps you’ll even want to bookmark it for revisiting and or to show to others.
The only problem I found is that you cannot save your progress and quit the game and return and resume. Instead, as you advance through the different levels you just have to keep the tab open. That should not be a problem, because most all of us have several tabs open at all times.
Anyways, this should be a fun trip down memory lane.
Enjoy!
