20 years old now, and you can play it in a web browser.

http://wolfenstein.bethsoft.com/

Controls are bogus if you wanna use a mouse. Very limited customization, no separate left and right strafing, no "always run," and so on.

Best option is just to use the keyboard. Reminds me of how I used to play FPSs...

The game's also on sale on Steam for the next 11 hours or something, available for a little over a buck. Also a bundle pack where you can get it, Spear of Destiny, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein for a little over three bucks.

Anyway, when Wolf 3D first came out, my ass was blown off. Played it at my cousin's house. Never experienced anything like it. If you've never played it, now's your chance.

I gave this title a try when it was out for the SNES. Needless to say...I got lost. Right now I'm playing through the PS3 Wolfenstein 3D. Hehe, dude still has his classic funky eyebrows.

Still play this on DOSbox fairly often. Actually still play a lot of old DOS games - lots of good old game memories: Doom and all it's variants (of course), Tyrian 2000, Descent, Beneath A Steel Sky, Dungeon Master, Captain Comic, Commander Keen, Duke Nukem (before the 3D) - lots of great games came out on PC-DOS.

you forgot about Star Wars: Dark Forces. That game came out at around the same time as the aforementioned.

i remember playing this when i was a little guy. It's still great. I've been playing it on and off ever since I got the Platinum edition of Return to Castle Wolfenstein way back in 2004, as it was one of the bonuses.

I also remember when DOOM was a hardcore game for mature audiences. Good times...

Also Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is still one of the best fps I've played.

Got any Heretic or Hexen in the mix? ;D Those are some classics. Super pissed that my dad threw away my copy of the former, though... Probably looked at the title and said, "That's unChristian!" and chucked it. That was a long time ago...

I suspect he threw it away, anyway. Game just disappeared one day. So did my copy of Space Quest 6, roughly around the same time. Apparently jokes about jock straps were too crude for a 12-year-old... (I remember him complaining about that particular issue, and he must have had a fit when my friends and I all gathered round the computer to play and laugh about the game.)

And maaaaan, Descent... If any DOS FPS ever needed a re-release on a modern console, that is it. XBLA's good for old FPSs. DOOM I and II, Duke 3D, Wolfenstein...

Well, no, Quake deserves a console re-release more than anything 'cos it's pretty much the greatest FPS ever, but Descent is close—and it gets bonus points for being, to my knowledge and experience, the first fully 3D, polygonal FPS ever made—and they really capitalized on that by letting you go IN ALL DIRECTIONS! Crazy game.

Descent II is no slouch either, but Descent 3... Eh.

Yeah, DOOM certainly blew me away unlike anything else. Huge advancements on what could be done.

I remember Dark Forces being a lotta fun. Gotta pick that up. Think the PSX version's supposed to be pretty good and that's on PSN.

'Course, we've still got an old tower running DOS and Windows 98. I'm sure I could pick up the PC original for real cheap. Reminds me I gotta go through the Thief series again soon... I love me some old-school FPSs, but I love me some Thief even more. Plus those folks did System Shock 2, which I never finished and would like to play through.

I used to rock the PSX version of Dark Forces back in the day, never played it on PC.  I'd imagine it was probably the better one.

Higher res, for sure, though I think I heard something about the PSX game having some exclusive content or something it did better than the original.

Or maybe I just heard it was a faithful port and I made up all that stuff.

I know SW: DF PSX has a debug mode to access all sorts of stuff. A lifesaver for me many times over.

You mofoz got any thoughts on Blood and Shadow Warrior? I've always, always wanted to play those games since they came out, but I never had a chance to.

Actually, Shadow Warrior I may have played, or it was some other game. I roughly remember some feudal Japan type setting, with all these wooden or bamboo cages holding like...dead dudes D: And the enemies were pretty grisly, and there was lava on the ground in this one room.

That was so long ago. Hardly remember it.

That's all I remember from my early FPS days.

Oh, and German Shepherds. Still fucking hate German Shepherds.

Plus, it's got this:


An FPS with an animu girl bathing as an easter egg. Now who dev'd it again?
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

3D Realms, same company behind Duke Nukem.

I suppose they figured since it takes place in Japan, they may as well add a nod to a bathing anime chick.

There's also this:



Ah, I miss this kind of silliness in games. Cross-referential, like the "doomed space marine" in Duke 3D.
