Yeah I bought it, so what, you want to make a big deal about it? I had some leftover points, and I thought playing Wolf on the 360 might be fun. And it is enjoyable enough. I've found that it suffers from some slowdown though, and on a 360 playing a 17 year old game I can't imagine how the hell that happened. Most noticeably is when opening secret walls, you'll click on them, the game will wait a second, and then the wall will move and the moving sound will start. It's not much, but it's such a delay compared to a Tandy 386 it's amazing it got past the drawing room floor. It's even more odd when you consider Doom works fantastically on the 360. It does, as previously stated, give you money to use in the upcoming Wolf game though, so take that as you will. It does point out a new fact about the game though, money can be used for upgrades.
Edit: Oh, and Nes, thanks for pointing out the red cross being replaced with a heart. I haven't played Wolf 3D in years, but when I saw the health kits I knew something was wrong but didn't quite place it. It seems completely ridiculous, everyone in the world who sees a red cross will instantly recognize it as symbol for help. No reason to change it, and I can't see how they can justify copyrighting a red cross. Hopefully Id won't go back and replace all the symbols on the stimpacks and medkits with a heart.
Also, not sure if it was the same in the original, as I haven't played it in a few years, but in the XBLA version you can't back over items to collect them. You have to walk into them facing forwards. I don't recall that from the original, but I may be wrong.
